Nebraska (7-3) Vs. The Citadel (4-8) Game Thread

[HuskerFever]

I haven't been listening closely.  Where is Shields?

He's afraid to shoot.

Well, we need him driving to the rim.

First 2 baskets in the 2nd half by Shields? Looks like he listened.

This is even more embarrassing than Creighton. 24 point favorites and we'll be lucky to win by 8.

Very embarrasing game tonight I pray we win. Unacceptable effort so far this team is on Xmas break already. Better hope they pull this out and pray they don't play like this vs Cincy.

Brutal

Quick, get that guy who hit the half court shot a jersey

Biggest lead of the night: 55-51.

Poor form, but I'd take that over missed shots.

We may as well have lost this game, because other than what the final score will end up being, that's what this game will be.

 

TERRIBLY disappointing. This is probably a sign of things to come, I fear, come Big 10. Not trying to be Debbie Downer but there is no positive way to spend this one. The season is 40% over and in last few games, we've had two completely unacceptable efforts and show no signs of getting much better, with Biggs and Webster moving backwards, Shields not being able to find shots, not making free throws and playing awful defense.

 

Someone talk me off the ledge.

I'm holding out hope they thought it was a cake walk and were ready to relax for Xmas.

[hhcdave]

Even if they think its a cakewalk, that's only an excuse for the first 10 minutes. And even if they thought it was a cake walk, they have to beat his team by a minimum of 15 points.

I hear you, but a W in any fashion is better than a L. That's just easy fodder for a bursted bubble for a NIT appearance. Aside from semantics, I completely agree. There is no way we could recover in the last 5:49 to make thiseven feel like a victory.

[hal9000]

We'll, we just have to bear down and get this turd to pass (with a win), and hopefully rise up to better competition come Big play.

[hal9000]

Now why did Tai pass that??

[49r]

Runza!

[hal9000]

What people, you can't stay for 1 minute?

[hhcdave]

Okay, cracked open my first beer and am taking a few deep breaths and "enjoying" a double digit win. Must. Calm. Down. Before. Report. Card.

Got there.

Ugly game but a win in the end.

Would like to see biggs get a chance to start at point. webster is struggling.

Agree Webster is swimming big time at this point.

[Huskerpapa]

I'm willing to ride Webster for awhile longer.  It is good to see Biggs and Leslee coming off of the bench.  Webster is learning each and every time out.  Let's let him get his education this year, and in the future we will get the benefits.

[colhusker]

Ray is the one we need to get it figured out.  I really thought the drop in his shooting last year was just wear and tear from playing so many minutes.  He still is struggling to put the ball in the basket on a regular basis.

The shot will come, plus Ray has always been streaky.  But I don't know what explains his struggles on defense.  He needs to get that figured out, or he will be spending a lot of time sitting by coach.
