hskr4life Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Another wasted opportunity. That one would have counteracted the Rutgers game metrics wise. HuscurAdam, ReidStag and HuskerBB 2 1 Quote
nuhusker7 Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Another game we should have won. I really don’t know why I let myself get my hopes up anymore. Something is wrong with Gary and I can’t figure out what it is, but he isn’t the same guy. Stupid mistakes cost us this game. I’d have much rather seen Maryland beat us than for us to lose like that. We need to have guys like Ulis and Hoiberg making huge positive impacts in games. But they are still role players, we need to have the other guys step up. Quote

roscoe Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Careless, careless turnovers, poor free throw shooting, way too many, not just missed bunnies, but easy bunnies. Quote

There’s a lot of playing and coaching years out there for us to have a final possession like that. Especially when things weren’t going well once we started across half court. Quote
MichHusker Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Turnovers, missed FTs, missed layups, defensive lapses allowing too many open 3's. We are playing like one of the youngest teams in the conference, not one of the oldest HuscurAdam, cornfed24-7, ReidStag and 1 other 2 2 Quote
cozrulz Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Our 3pt defense needs major work. Another game where we are terrible with the ball late. I think Ulis needs to be playing over Worster. 10 assists to Worster's 1. USC game is now pretty much must win. ReidStag 1 Quote
GhostOfJoeMcCray Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 34-8 bench points. Not that it will fix our problems, but it's time to change the starting lineup. arliepro, cornfed24-7, Handy Johnson and 1 other 1 1 2 Quote
basketballjones Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Hoiberg Fire-O-Meter 10 = Izzo Lifetime Contract 1 = “Fire Mike Woodson” chant at halftime. I was at 6 before this game and I believe for the first time in quite a while I’m going below a 5 to the fire side. One nice run, that ultimately still didn’t result in anything, and the rest has been absolutely trash. HuscurAdam and thrasher31 2 Quote

To continue to let our defense get roasted like this time after time after time ultimately falls on him. Teams have figured out how to beat us, and we have not adjusted. In the last 4 games we've given up 68 made 3-pointers and we have made 30. 204-90 from the 3-point line in the last 4 games. Holy crap. basketballjones, TourneyBound and ReidStag 1 2 Quote

HuskerBB Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Discrepancy in 3's is part the way we play defense - but I think even more due to the fact that we don't have enough shooters. millerhusker, HB and HuscurAdam 1 2 Quote
millerhusker Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 We do too many things that good teams with good players don't do. When your best players aren't solid and reliable, that's a bad deal. I can't imagine we'll play another team that's more disinterested and less cohesive than Maryland this year. We needed this one. HB 1 Quote

Holy crap. Truthfully we should have been changing things when A&M killed us from three. It's like we are floating too far from the shooter on the other side instead of floating just enough to bait them into turnovers. It doesn't help when you have Brice Williams not even guarding the shooter at the end of the 1st half. At this point I'd rather have guys play the three tighter and get burned backside, at least it would only be for two. Bugeaters1 1 Quote

Holy crap. Sorry to quote again but if we make 1 more per game and opponent makes 1 less there is really good possibility we are 3-1 rather than 0-4. Or am I trying to be too positive?

Navin R. Johnson Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Maryland goes on a 10-0 run down the stretch like a home team is suppose to do which we didn't do against Rutgers. Really surprised we didn't call our last timeout when we looked out of sync on the three point attempt. Maybe Coach thought that would give them a chance to foul before we could get the shot off. throwback and busticket 2 Quote
hhcmatt Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Our defense was good enough to win. They shot 40% from 3 but they also shot 48.5% from 2 which is their second worst home mark this season. We held Queen to 3. To me it was missed FTs and mindless turnovers...execution stuff. Also this is the second game in a row we've lost by three to a team that made a 3pt shot to end the half. roscoe, Shawn Eichorst's Toupee, ReidStag and 4 others 1 6 Quote

HuskerBB Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Some good things today but lots of really bad as well. Loved a lot of what Uhlis brought to the game - seems like he finally figured out how to play defense in our system and in many ways is our best guy with the ball. But he also got sloppy at times - including what was really a lazy turnover at the end. As I said in the game thread - Morgan was terrific at times - but terrible on other possessions. In the end the main problem is lack of scoring threats. Teams just completely focus their defense on Brice and we don't really have an answer to address that, particularly when they let them hold and grab Brice whenever he tries to use a screen. Plus - Brice is best when other players can create for him - but we don't seem to find a way to do that. At the end of the game we needed someone other than Brice to have the ball because he is not great at beating people off the dribble. Should have let him and Connor run off screens and have somebody with the ball trying to get it to them. The failure of Griffiths developing into the contributing player we thought he would be has left a big deficiency in our lineup. We substituted Worster/Uhls for Lawrence - which helps in some ways but neither of them is a threat to shoot at all. We needed Essegian to be Keisei and Griffiths to at least be Wilcher on offense - but Essegian is really just giving us what Wilcher did - and Gavin obviously is giving us nothing at all. Berke is more of a threat than Allick - but offensively neither Meah or Morgan is even close to Reink Mast - particularly from the perimeter. You need to have multiple guys who can make jump shots in today's college basketball and we don't have enough of them on this team. HB, Faux Mike Peltz, cornfed24-7 and 3 others 6 Quote

Maryland led 66 - 57 with 5 minutes to go. We tied it at 66 with 1 minute to go. They let us back in the game. Quote
