uneblinstu's postgame chatter : vol 17; ed 16-Purdue

[Bugeaters1]

What a shit show that was. Now I'm going to watch the second shit show of the day when the women play at Rutgers.

[Huskerpapa]

We simply had our asses kicked.  Hard to stomach!

[hskr4life]

We better dig deep. This league is unforgiving and we’ll quickly play ourselves out of dancing.

[roscoe]

Throw away the tape!!

[GhostOfJoeMcCray]

Last 2 opponents are 36-68 from 3 (53%).

Let’s see if we have some pride.

[throwback]

I'm not sure any team in the country could've won that game today with as well as PU played and as motivated as they were.

 

That said, a veteran team has to have more pride than that. Hope we show it Thursday vs RU.

As someone said in the game thread, we likely wouldn’t have beaten Purdue regardless with the way they shot the ball. However, the entire program should be embarrassed by the lack of effort on both ends of the floor.

[HuskerFever]

[brfrad]

We couldn't shoot, couldn't defend, couldn't take care of the ball, couldn't force turnovers, couldn't rebound. 

 

The one thing we did is make free throws.

 

This was not Iowa beating us twice.  This was the fact that we weren't ready to deal with Purdue's pressure.   We should have been.

Here’s highlights if you missed it.

It’s never a good day when HHC invests more into a game than the team. Today may have been one of those days.

I hear the late great Jim Mora in the background:   "Dancing??"

Thankfully we did enough by not dropping one in OOC, winning in Hawaii against teams we needed to play, and beating Creighton on the road to afford ourselves a few clunkers in conference season.

 

Sadly— we’ve about used up all the clunkers 5 games in.

How fast things have changed. After the UCLA game, we all were talking about being worthy of being ranked, making sure we didn’t let Loesner go anywhere because he was our defensive mastermind.

A few guys need to take a long look in the mirror. Ok, a lot of guys. I get it, it sucks to be blown out but have some pride. We showed no fight. Purdue made Nebraska look like what we did to Southern.

[Crush78]

2 things 

 

1 - IF Williams isn't on his game, we have basically no chance against quality teams.

 

2 - We have completely crumbled on the road 3 times now. Seems like we might be a bit soft mentally, can't stand the pressure of tough road games

We have went from what seed are we getting in the Big dance to are we going to make the Big 10 tournament.

 

We have struggled all year with ball handling with pressure on the road.

[hhcmatt]

Historical ass-whooping

 

[Handy Johnson]

Where’s that Poll RE: if we’re Better or Worse than Last Season…? 

[brfrad]

If we look at our games away from home

 

St Mary's 15 turnovers close loss

Creighton 7 turnovers double digit win

Michigan State 11 turnovers blowout loss. MSU made 12 3's to our 4

Murray State 15 turnovers double digit win

Hawaii 12 turnovers double digit win 

Oregon State 12 turnovers double digit win 

Iowa 14 turnovers overtime loss.  Iowa makes 17 3's to our 9

Purdue 17 turnovers blowout loss. Purdue makes 19 3's to our 6 

 

 

[Navin R. Johnson]

Nebraska turnover, Purdue 3

 

[cozrulz]

Maybe a bit how Purdue felt last year against us.

 

Dropping the Iowa game feels pretty big right now.  Now you have find a way to get some energy and beat Rutgers.  Win that and I think we'll have a good shot to win at Maryland.

Sounds like my schedule conflicts worked out for me today 

[AuroranHusker]

Horrible all around game, felt like MSU 2.0.

Unfortunately, I was thinking the same thing.
