Nebraska 8-7 VS. Purdue 10-5 Game Thread

[GoBigRed]

Man this team can't catch a break. So many close games

They're also a stupid team, so breaks are harder to come by.

[HuskerFever]

Well... Purdue wants to lose this game with all of these missed free throws.

Make this a free throw fest.

Pathetic coaching. We jack up an off balance three with 1:30 left down five, then foul with 11 seconds on the shot clock.

. Are you so sure that's coaching?

They jack up too many shots, they play poor defense at times, they foul too much, they fail to secure rebounds on missed shots. You have to make your own breaks.

[GoBigRed]

I don't feel it's coaching. Tim miles doesn't draw that up. We still have some guys with selfish tendencies

Coach's job is to teach his players how to handle these situations. Gallegos doesn't take that shot any other time in the game, down 5 with 1:30 left you still run your offense to get a good shot.

Horrible finish! Two misses free throws, a turnover, another turnover, an air ball and then we knock the missed free throw out of bounds on consecutive plays!

I would saw some of it is for sure.........although, can't blame Miles for Shields missing two free throws.  Although, he does seriously need to consider cutting Shields minutes at this point if thats even possible.  Shields has been pretty mediocre for awhile now.

Until Miles recruits kids that can shoot and much better than Ray, we can expect this.  It is clear it's going to be another couple years.

I thought the announcers said Miles was calling for a foul, but maybe I heard wrong. He was either calling for a foul or no foul. And that offense possession, yes. We've seen pathetic shot selection all year and it reared it's ugly head at a terrible time.

Now they make their free throws.

And IMO....that's if we are lucky.

One of our biggest struggles is not getting rebounds when we make 3-point attempts. It seems like we shoot the ball and immediately turn around and play defense.

Guys anyone who has watched practice and has seen this team up close knows that tim and staff teach the right things. I have heard it plenty of times up close. Some of these guys have really bad habits and it gets magnified in these games. Ray has taken that shot off of a screen his whole career.

It may be time to give Rivers a shot.

[nuled2dance]

You wonder how much longer this team will keep getting up glad they have a week off.

[Huskerpapa]

Much of this is execution.  We still breakdown, perhaps it is that the players try to hard.  This is a good coaching staff.  We are close.  Very close.

Recruiting will only get more difficult mediocre year after mediocre year. Facilities can only help you so much.

Are you watching games? Most of his shots are like that. Petteway is by far the worst offender of bad shots. Just because a few go in, doesn't mean it was a smart shot. I see his selfish tendacy hasn't left. I hate to say that because without him, we have a few more losses.

Close only counts in hand gernades and well you know what I mean.  These are games we should win.

Eight and eight (oh and four).
