Nebraska (3-0) vs UMass (3-0) Game Thread

[tcp]

the officiating this year is definitely going to favor strong inside teams like UMass. But boy, is this hard to watch. Our kids look terrified to even move their hands on D right now.

[jayschool]

Shields officially with only two FG attempts.

Flopping is very effective also under these rules.  That is not a good thing.

84-74 Umass.  7 minutes left.

[jayschool]

Craig Neal looks as if he's frightened he'll get this crew tomorrow.

LOL at that call on Putney.  Just ram in there jump hit someone foul on defense. 

[Fullbacksympathy]

Horrible call on UMASS there.  The guy was straight up and waited for TP to run into him.

The flopping might get out of hand.  We're going to turn this into soccer, with lots of free throws.

[49r]

86-76.  6 minutes left.

(throws more dishes)

just refusing to go after the ball right now. and I can't blame them.

So if we have more talented players than do they have better coaching?

[Fullbacksympathy]

8 point game 5 min left.  UMASS CAN'T SHOOT.

[royalfan]

[Fullbacksympathy]

6 point game.

[jayschool]

Within 6 at 4:52 mark. 86-80.

[Buddhahat]

How is this a 6 point game?

[FredsSlacks]

If we win this game...

[49r]

Shavon misses the bunny on the run out, but Webster picks up the rebound and putback.

 

86-80  UMass.  4:52 left.

[UnicamMan]

How is this a two possession game?  Seems like we should be down 20

[49r]

NyQuil anyone?

Small sample size but Miles has not coached a very good defensive game today.   And we surely are marginally more talented if we are.  Very close. 

[FredsSlacks]

Let's go!!!. Attack the hoop!!!

[jayschool]

Down six with ball.

Not really sure we saw a "true" game today.  The refs never really allowed either team to get in a groove the way they are calling it.  I really like Lalanne...outside of that id say the teams are pretty evenly matched.

coach needs to ban 3 pt attempts right now. that's the worst shot you can take in this game.
