Nebraska (12-3) VS. Purdue (12-4) Game Thread

[Cazzie22]

This might be a poorer performance than against Sparty.  It’s easy to shoot well when you are up by 20.  Brice needs to play like an All B1G player, if he is one.

“They don’t appear to be a veteran ball club right now.” Exactly.

Bench the starters...sad

[GhostOfJoeMcCray]

I would love to see the advanced metrics of lineup combinations we use. There is no way that this group of 5 is our best offensive or defensive unit.

Line change!

[brfrad]

The refs are the least of our worries.  However, 5 players are on the floor and zero fouls committed.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Hate to overstate it, but Rutgers on Thursday just became a much more important win. Need to get our Ju Ju back. Throw this game away.

[hskr4life]

Rutgers will beat us if we play D like this. Their two studs will go off.

[brfrad]

Now, Smith draws a foul (hasn't been a foul in the other 25 minutes of the game).  Throws one up and it goes in.

 

It's all about pride, and figure out how to play with contact.

Something I'm monitoring a bit moving forward. Connor essegian has had about as bad a start to big ten play as he can have. 27/23% on 5 PPG. I'm order for Nebraska to get where they want to, he HAS TO be a threat. Non negotiable thing.

Turning this crap off - hope these guys respond a little by the end of the game. They are getting clowned right now.

Extended scoring droughts. A Nebraska tradition.

[basketballjones]

Embarrassment.

 

Bench these guys. Meah is a disaster. Rollie is broken. 

[roscoe]

Tough to beat anybody when they make 12 3's, even tougher when they've only taken 19.

[B1G Red]

Sure, it’s tough to win on the road in conference play. But this will be 0-3 with two uncompetitive blowouts and a blown 15pt second half lead.  Not good.

I already have. Just waiting for the shit show at Rutgers where the women play.

[hskr4life]

They’re just toying with us. Have some damn pride. Good lord.

[cozrulz]

Essegian still playing hard.

[Cazzie22]

Purdue has shredded our defense.  They move the ball and people and get open looks which they are making at a high level.  Clearly, we are not near the top teams in this league.  That UCLA win doesn’t look very impressive.  

[roscoe]

So Gavin's defense would hurt us at this point? And Morgan has had couple open looks from just inside ft line and passed them up.

[brfrad]

They are making everything wide open shots (which there have been far too many), contested shots, and acrobatic shots.

[nuhusker7]

Connor and Sam are the only two who look like they give a crap

Leads the team in rebounds which tells you where we’re at.

[roscoe]

And perfect at ft line...

[cozrulz]

Purdue is making threes but you have to come up harder on them.
