Nebraska (8-2) vs. Hawaii (7-3) Game Thread

[Cazzie22]

Williams and Gary are the offense.  Hasn’t been much else from anyone.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Absolutely elite defense thus far in the second half.   

[hal9000]

The more I watch this Williams kid, the more I think he’s not that shabby.

[hskr4life]

I have been pleasantly surprised by the improvement from Meah from game 1 to now. This Meah is serviceable. This Meah gives us something. You won’t see anyone question his minutes should this trend continue.

[Bugeaters1]

we only have 2 bench pts.

Last night it was Connor and Morgan. It’s nice to be this balanced. I didn’t know if we could be prior to the start of the season.

He’s been more vocal and demonstrative out there tonight.

[hhcscott]

We should try this Hawaiian travel travel push off move

[Fullbacksympathy]

Essegian is killing us tonight.

This too.  

[Bugeaters1]

We will win.

 

[Cazzie22]

Inconsistent officiating has to be overcome.  It’s basically a two possession game.

[hskr4life]

We’re getting royally shafted by the men in stripes tonight. It’s not even close to appearing fair. The same calls on one end are not called on the other end.

Agree.  His defense is absent and we're getting on the offensive end.  Not his game so far.

He’s gotta sell those push offs more. Three times tonight he flew back and stayed on his feet. Those SHOULD be charges but if he doesn’t go to ground…

Not much he could have done on that last play other than actually fall down when he got shoved.   If he had flopped like the Hawaii kid did maybe we could have gotten a call (but I doubt it)

[REDZONEDAN]

These refs are going to give the game to Hawaii.  We can’t play our style of defense now because they call ticky tack shit, but won’t call shit on them on the other end.

[Bugeaters1]

14 to 6 on free throws.

WWE refs on vacation picking up shifts

[HuskerBB]

Will give him credit - Sam has made 2 nice plays on the offensive end this half.

[B1G Red]

We are going to need better play out of Rollie. I get he’s not the greatest shooter in the world, but the loose turnovers and poor shots selection can’t happen from a point guard with his experience.

[hskr4life]

3 fouls in 17 minutes? And we’ve only shot 17 3’s.

[B-town hoopsfan]

Holy shit it took 17 minutes but they called a body foul on Hawai’i…dock that refs pay 

[Vinny]

Worster should have been on the line there. This is absurd.

[NUtball]

They called a foul on Hawai'i.  How can that be?

 

I was thinking maybe NU could invest in some sort of harness system so it would be easier for Hawai'i's players to ride on their backs.
