I will wait for the appearance of the old "Is this Rock Bottom?" thread.

I sure hope a 37 pt loss in conference is rock bottom

Rutgers is now 5-4 with a phenom freshman class. So rock bottom is still a ways out for us.

[Scarlet Shootaround]

48-19 rebounding margin. -29 on the glass.

 

That is a mind-boggling number. MSU clearly exposed something schematically against us in that realm.

 

The good news: Nebraska has plenty of time to get this fixed, and hopefully a healthy Berke playing 30 minutes alleviates some of the issue.

 

The bad news: Meah is not the rebounder we need him to be, and I don't know if that can change.

He loves having the ball taken away from him more than Dowdell loves running into the first defender he sees

Defense is even worse.

It's like wishing for a higher rated Briedenbach with a monkey paw

Just saw we went from 45 to 62 in KenPom too.  Losing is one thing, but losing like that hurts a lot especially when talking metrics.  Still early in the season, but we can't let this carry over into the Indiana game.  Indiana is almost a must win to me considering how hard it is to win on the road in conference.  Plus, you add bad officiating to the mix and it makes it even harder. Hopefully, this was just a bad game, and we can get back on track next week.  GBR!

Haskell was loaded that year, I forgot how good they were.

Fred literally just said he was pissed off in the postgame presser

As well he should be.
