Nebraska (16-9) vs. Nortwestern (13-12) Game Thread

[AGHANSEN]

I don’t think it’s going to matter, but the fact we’re only down 15 is a miracle.

[brfrad]

I don't know if we can play Brice in the 2nd half, unless he comes out of half a complete 180 from his 1st half.  In fact, I don't know if we can play anyone except maybe Gavin and Sam.

 

We haven't played bad defense until the ball bounces off the rim.  If I were Fred, I would bench the 1st guy that just tipped the ball in the air on the rebound.  Grab the f'in ball.

A lot isn't though.  Gary threw the ball out of bounds and had Meah for a dunk.  Brice doesn't pass the ball when he had a guy wide open for three at the end of the half.

I understand that. But when you are displaced of the ball it is a foul.

[cozrulz]

15 isn't a huge lead but doubt we have the energy or offense to do it.  Only 21 point in the 1st half.  We had multiple chances at the end of the half to get the game even closer.  I think I'm going to do something else.  Hope the guys get rested for the next game.  It seems like they all are sick and dragging.

I would say the only two good rebounders on the roster and Mast and Berke. Regardless, this is about heart, hustle and discipline. Northwestern isn't very big or athletic.

Sam is trying, but he just doesn't have the size or the strength to hang on to the ball once he has it.

It’s perplexing how a team with so many seniors and experience can come out so flat time and time again.

Missing Berke today...

Agreed. No lack of effort on his part.

Did Fred punch a wall? 

[Huskerpapa]

Well...

Fred's usually pretty honest about times we just get beat and when we do not play well.  This is one of those not play well times.

Did Coach punch a wall at halftime.

So many open looks for Berry

Need to bench Brice.

[cozrulz]

I don't get it.  Why not start Meah and Griffiths?  These other guys have been more terrible.

[cozrulz]

this looks like two jv teams

[Cazzie22]

Halftime adjustments aren’t working.

Just take Brice and Juwan out. Juwan is getting owned nearly every defensive possession. And Brice is ineffective on offense. 

[roscoe]

Well not saying it can't happen but Illinois didn't score last 8:32 last night vs MSU and missed final 16 shots (17 if you count 1 block). What the hell...let's do it!

Hoiberg: "hey guys Ty Berry can shoot"

The entire team: "bullshit"

What's more frustrating than ever (in today's world of collegiate sports) is how much we're paying these athletes and this is the output we get from it as a program.
