Wow. Dawson Garcia has the worst haircut I’ve ever seen. It’s like Shasta Pat Benatar.

It is absolutely uncanny how often OT happens in a game prior to NU playing.

I probably jinxed this one as I said out loud “oh good this almost over” as I saw the time before the score 

[Bugeaters1]

go watch the women

[Vinny]

We’ve had Meah take a shot to the head and two bloody players already?

[Bugeaters1]

The women won in OT

[hskr4life]

Oh here we go... Rutgers going to shoot lights out.

[millerhusker]

Brice gave up 3 straight threes in consecutive possessions. Close out man. 

[hskr4life]

Rutgers appears disinterested in playing D and rebounding tonight-- so if we can lock down on D and get a good 10 minute stretch, we should be ok.

They are crashing the boards on the offensive end.  They have little interest in keeping us off the boards on our shots.

[hskr4life]

Dang it Rollie.  Had a 3 on 2 break and he decides to go 1 on 2.

[hskr4life]

Box. The F. Out! 

 

Good lord guys. REBOUND!

[B1G Red]

We’ve looked slow on defense 3 games in a row now.

FIFY.

It's good to see a 'competent' officiating crew has shown up at PBA once again. 

[hskr4life]

Sam Hoiberg just played phenomenal on-ball D on a guy who will go Top 10 in the draft. WOW.

[MichHusker]

Yeah giving up on pace for 80 points isn't gonna cut it. Not sure where our defense has gone

[hskr4life]

Sigh-- I can live with those Bailey threes that he hit at the end... even if he did travel. AND HE DID.

 

But our D has not been good outside of those types of shots. Rebounding sucks!

[NUtball]

I've only watched 10 minutes of this one and I've witnessed at least five blatant travels on Buttgers that haven't been called.

We will not get where we want to go if we continue to lose on that end of the floor like we have these past few games. We need that DOG Hawaii mentality back.

[cozrulz]

took like 3 steps.

 

we are getting pushed on rebounds.

Why not a 25 footer turn around with a guy in his face to end the half. 

 

Our last 75 minutes of defense has left a lot to be desired.

[rwhiston]

The lack of closeout on 3s is disappointing.

This looks like a hangover from the past two games. Who, besides Sam, is going to show the fight on D and rebounding? 
 

If we play D and rebound, we win by double digits. It won’t be close. If we don’t, we may  have the 3rd L in a row.

Most surprising stat

 

Rutgers 8 offensive rebounds

Nebraska 11 offensive rebounds
