Rutgers (9-8) vs. Nebraska (12-4) Game Thread

Meah, Berke, and Morgan combining for just 3 Reb is bad

[MichHusker]

Also noticed the broadcast say we were +12 with Rollie on the floor. Need him the stay out of foul trouble this second half

there was at least once where we didn't box out the wings.  probably more.  that doesn't really help those guys clean things up.

[hskr4life]

We seem more aggressive and active on the D end to start this half!

[cozrulz]

Meah just got pushed?  How was that not a foul?

Right after the ref talked to those two.  He also set a moving screen right after the inbounds pass.

[cozrulz]

need the defense to show up again and get this crowd in the game

[brfrad]

Good start to the 2nd half.

[NUtball]

2 fouls on that drive.

[hskr4life]

Harper and Bailey is literally all they have. I can see how they, when those two are on, could beat just about anyone. I can also see how they, when those two are off, could lose to anyone.

[MichHusker]

Letting their role players impact the game on the boards. Gotta rebound better

[brfrad]

BOX the f OUT

[Cazzie22]

It might be nice to block out.  Rutgers is killing us on the offensive boards these last few possessions.

And NU, whose apparent identity is defense should be able to minimize those 2 guys. Hope they turn up the D now!

10 offensive rebounds on 21 missed shots from Rutgers cannot happen.

Man-- IDK-- they are the type of players who are going to "get thieirs".... it's the inability to rebound and letting their role players impact the game that is killing us.

Rollie is up to +17

Every time we hear a name other than Bailey or Harper is a failure of the program 

[Silverbacked1]

Okay I am at the game and this thing is the most ragged bodies flying no rhyme game I have been at in a long time. 
the officials aren’t helping because guys have no idea what is going to be called

[hskr4life]

Martini is in there for one reason... and it isn't his ability to drive and dunk. So why we've left him wide open twice now is mind boggling.

[cozrulz]

how do we consistently lose guys in the corner?  most teams can hit open threes.

Bailey is a player.  He and Harper make those other guys better. We have to find a way to slow them down and be efficient on offense.  Need to get the crowd into the game.

I guess I should clarify. When I say minimize, they may get theirs. But they will need to be otherworldly to do it and be forced to work harder than ever. Unfortunately that is not the case now. The D has to step up. BW and CE have not been up to it defensively this half. 

[Bugeaters1]

Time for some Nyquil shots

 

[MichHusker]

I'm good with Berke on the bench rest of this game. Not his night
