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

[Bugeaters1]

seems like they are playing team ball so far

[atskooc]

L. Smith is a man.

He'd better be, with a name like Leslee. 

[GoBigRed]

I like it.  Actual defense.  Gotta move your feet, no more jogging screens.  It'll make the game better.

 

I don't see it getting better though. Refs are always going to use this as an excuse to call anything and everything. We'll see. These guys are so big and fast now, there's not a lot of space to move around out there without bumping into other guys.

[FredsSlacks]

Petteway is killing us.

[berlinblackshirts]

I like Leslees game. He really is a positive surprise

[49r]

Okay, that slapping the floor deal is kind of amateur hour.

[Silverbacked1]

Once the players starting playing with their feet, the refs will also start to call less.

Kent's exchange with the ref was pretty funny.  Along the lines of

 

Kent- "HORRIBLE CALL" "THAT WAS ALL BALL"

Matt- "He can hear you"  "I don't think that will help us get fouls"

Kent- "It's not my fault there's 50 people in here"  "I didn't call the foul"

 

5 minutes later you can hear Kent apologizing

[AnotherUMassFan]

I think we have better players.  Just need to start playing better. 

You're kidding, right?

[tcp]

lol @ Kent. Go get 'em, tiger.

Davison telling someone not to complain about bad calls?  I don't believe it!

Few too many turnovers here...

Easy big fella. You're welcome here, but this is a game thread. We get to be unreasonable homers.

No and with all due respect I think my eye is better than yours.

I have said it before and I will say it again.

Petteway is a selfish ball hog and has disrupted our offense for 3 games in a row.

Sit his butt down and teach him a lesson. If he can't learn kick him off the team.

Seriously we would be better without him.

 

Not even remotely close to being correct about being better without him.  That is one of the dumbest things I have heard on here in a while.

Ouch. Thanks for that.

Petteway often passes up great opportunities for assists. I have yet to see him pass on a break away. And it's not like he makes a good percentage of his shots.

At least he isn't as bad at the line as Webster.

[atskooc]

7-12 from the line isn't going to cut it!

[Fullbacksympathy]

We're getting outworked.

[tcp]

oh, petteway. how'd you miss that.

[hal9000]

Few too many turnovers here...

...and too many fouls.

[MichHusker]

We currently have 0 assists

Pretty small sample size don't you think to be wanting guys ran out of here?

[royalfan]

Nice job petteway

[Fullbacksympathy]

I have no problem with TP going to the rim.  Can't stand him settling for jumpers.

[FredsSlacks]

There's no reason to shoot 3s. The refs are calling everything. You can literally get to the foul line every possession.

[49r]

Starting to look like Petteway's gonna be able to take whatever Petteway wants right now.
