Texas A&M (20-14) vs. Nebraska (23-10) Game Thread

[KZRider]

KU was up 15 halfway into the 2nd half and nearly lost it to Samford. If A&M comes down out of the stratosphere just a little we can do this!

I say pack it in and make them shoot it.  If they hit, they hit.  On O, we need to draw some early fouls and put them in trouble early.

Defensive adjustments.  What will we see?  

Honestly, what adjustments can they make? We have been getting abused by the same inability to stop dribble penetration for the last 40 minutes. If there’s an adjustment, I’d question where it was at against ILL.

We will win.  It's just a long con.

Nevada blew a 17 point lead with 7 minutes to go.  We can still do this.

We CAN...but having lived this nightmare seven previous times, the FAITH reserves are depleted. My nightmare is that we do just enough to get within 5

yep.  They are the 10th worst 3 point shooting team in the country.  They were insanely hot.  We have to hope they return to the mean.  But we cannot let them keep driving.

Playing like we’re scared to foul is probably a product of how that 2nd half vs Illinois was called.

[cipsucks]

Make up 4 points each tv timeout. That's it. I have a feeling we make up more than that in the first few minutes.

[tcp]

to me, it depends on the why of it. if we're losing because we're lethargic compared to the opponent, that's not a halftime fix. if it's just bad luck, that's different. I can't see the game (or even hear it) so I leave that judgment to others. I just want to avoid any infighting breaking out. I can't handle any more of that. 

[GATA]

Would be thrilled to see an ounce of competitiveness on defense this half. Lazy defense on dribble drives, slow rotations, wide open 3s. Even when they miss they’re getting offensive rebounds. Just a complete meltdown on defense.

They average 6 made threes per game. They made 6 right out of the gate in this one which just opened everything else up. 

[cipsucks]

Here we go Huskers, Here we go!

[hal9000]

All right here we go.  I lost my shit there for a minute, sending my dogs to other places in the house, but my positivity is back.  It’s a whole new half.  LFG.

We have the damnedest habit of giving out career 3-pt shooting nights out of the blue.

I have no issue getting a t.  Now turn the corner.

None. What. So. Ever. 

[Cazzie22]

A&M has some dynamic players.  We need to keep our heads and keep competing.

Especially when the A&M is running right through you and nothings being called.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Weird game. 
 

I don’t feel like the moment has been too big for us.  They just haven’t missed.  
 

The levy has to break at some point.  The question is whether it will be soon enough.  We have a run in us.

fred get a t? when someone gets a chance, can they explain?

can't see that on score scroll...:)

Tominaga T for taunting aTm player he blocked and aTm player got a T also

[Fullbacksympathy]

Sam needs to get JL’s minutes.  He brings just a little more to this game.  

[cipsucks]

Kent sounds really depressed.  Time for the Huskers to get on a roll to change his mood.  We're down 16.  Let's cut that lead in half in the next 4 minutes.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Great job getting Taylor out, Keisei.
