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

[cipsucks]

76-60.  13 to go. Plenty of time.

[Fullbacksympathy]

BULLSHIT foul on Mast.  

[Cazzie22]

We may have to go small and press to try and force them to turn it over.

[Huskerpapa]

Just hard to believe our defense is this bad tonight.

[GATA]

Three straight absolutely pathetic halves of defense. 

[B1G Red]

I can’t recall them not scoring on a trip down the floor. Just nuts. 

[nuhusker7]

Is our defense even bad? Or are they just insanely athletic and have the ability to moving elbow screen every play?

[GATA]

I just can’t fathom being on this stage with this crowd and giving this kind of effort on defense. We haven’t done a single thing well defensively. We aren’t really contesting. We aren’t stopping the ball. We aren’t even taking away the dominant hand. Everything is easy. 

[brfrad]

If anything,  we are letting them get to the basket too easy.  Them hitting 3's are something not expected.

I have to ask, after 20 years of not getting moving screens called, is it even a foul?

[hal9000]

This is reminding me of when we played New Mexico State in the NCAA Tourney in ‘93.  We were scoring, Pike had 29.  But NMS was getting whatever they wanted on offense.

Yes. It’s beyond bad. 

[tcp]

what surprises me is that htis team knows how critical its defensive intensity is to its success by now. you'd think if there was anything they'd be dialed into, it would be that. this is the one thing I can never figure out about these guys.....

[brfrad]

No effort.  We just watched a ball hit the floor 10 times, and 0 people go try to grab it.

[hskr4life]

We just dig ourselves too big of a hole.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Tough to say.  If A&M shoots their average percentage from three it’s a close game right now.

Except Sam. Of course.

[InLikeFlint]

Sorta reminds me of what New Mexico State did to NU back in 1993.

My thoughts exactly and remember NMS got their asses kicked the next game

[hhcscott]

21-16 in this half, so the hole isn't getting much deeper, but still in over our heads

[cipsucks]

Down 19 with 11 to go. We win this game in overtime.

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

Unreal. Can’t wait for them to shoot 2-20 from 3 against Houston after this. 

[tcp]

At this point, I'm just cnfused as to what's happening....all I know is that in half a half they haven't cut into even a single point of a massive lead, and that tells me that A&M is basically toying with them like you dothe little brother trying to wrestle you and you just keep pushing their forhead and they can't reach you

Gotta get a couple of stops.

 

[hal9000]

You know, I wish Mast could jump just a little.
