The thing I never understand is why hosts of these events never have a crowd in the arena. If you can't pack your building for your own team, you have no business hosting 7 teams neutral-siting. 

 

Generally agree … unless the host is located in a literal tropical paradise.

Man, missed bunnies and free throws.  Ughhh.

[Huskerpapa]

That hurts.  Failure to execute both offensively and defensively. 

[HuskerBB]

We come out of a timeout and end up getting a forced 3 from our worst 3 pt shooter that doesn't draw iron.   They have 2.9 seconds and get a good look from their best shooter ?

[cozrulz]

yeah probably shouldn't have fouled and given them a set

KP said the Cale fouled the guy he guarding but the ref didn't call it.

I’ve always questioned our end of half possessions.  We really need to work on improving those.

I saw this as well.

That was a pretty well contested three at the end of the half even though it went in.    
 

We’re playing pretty good defense and have a lead on the road.  That was a great run.  I expect a couple of good offensive adjustments at half.  Our length is overwhelming them on the other end.  Rebounding has been solid.

Need to figure out some consistent offense in this second half

Paradise is nice, but nobody enjoys an empty arena. Hawai'i. Only sells about 4k of the 10k seats for their home games (2023 data) so they know it's a problem. Maybe better travel/ticket packages for visiting fans? Free admission to youth organizations? Track down the covid-era cardboard cutouts?

Any advice for Penn State?

[HuskerBB]

Wow - refs must have gotten a lecture at halftime.  Start the 2nd half with a phantom foul call.

[hskr4life]

Meah has had a nice game so far.

Id say win… but they’ve been doing that too so I got nothing.

[Huskerpapa]

Looking at bit better.  Feed the dawg

 

[HuskerBB]

Need to find a way to get Connor some looks.  

[Huskerpapa]

Flop

[HuskerBB]

Flop

[hskr4life]

lol I saw that charge coming all day long.

[Huskerpapa]

Now a bullshit call.  Wow.

[HuskerBB]

Wow was that call late - and for nothing !!

[Bugeaters1]

here comes the home cooking.

[hskr4life]

Ref show!

[hskr4life]

We either get a makeup call here or another bad foul call on us.
