Nebraska 11-10 Vs. Northwestern 12-11 Game Thread

All day Terran. Draw fouls.

Two absolute horrible charge calls on him.  Valentine is absolutely worthless.  How the guy actually refs NCAA tournament games is beyond me.

16 points at half. Setting basketball back light years. All because of selfish and stupid play.

i should probably get paid to listen to any more of this. awful stuff.

[colhusker]

Dear Tim - can we work on shooting at practice?

[cozrulz]

Only down 6...Amazing.

 

Looks like Rivers is open most of the time on pick and roll.  Get him the ball.  And get Shields going towards the basket.

If you aren't listening to radio broadcast, Davison said that a Northwestern fan told him before the game "This is our favorite officiating crew. They always take care of us."

So that's awesome.

[colhusker]

Well only 5 fouls on them in the half, I can see why they think that.

[roscoe]

The absence of a point guard that can take some sort of control and run any semblance of an offense would help. Even when Tai is in game he doesn't take control. Need someone/anyone that can be a leader.

We got them right where we want them. We are a second half team

GBR

[roscoe]

7 turnovers and 6 fg's in 1st half.

[brfrad]

The good news we have assists on 67 percent of our made field goals.  The bad news we made 6 field goals.

6 field goals in a half tells it all.

[brfrad]

We have to push the tempo.  They are dictating the tempo.  I know it isn't easy because they send what seems like 6 guys back on every shot.  However, when we did push it, we had a Shields lay-up and a Gallegos lay-up off a steal.

2-2 on free throws 100%!!!

Gotta push the ball and attack the rim on these guys. They're pretty big but not athletic. They're switching on picks every single time. Gotta be a mismatch opportunity.

[brfrad]

We are just giving MSU a false sense of security.  If you watched Nebraska play on the road this year, I would just yuk it up in practice.  Have a good old time.

Absolutely correct! But ball needs to be passed up rather than dribbled. That way cutters are available and if defense backs off to guard cutters it would allow open shots or the ability to drive. Cutters would also provide offensive rebounding chances.

 

And on a side note go to any level of competition and have a kid dribble upcourt while 3 kids pass from baseline to baseline. 2 cleanly handled passes beat the dribbler every time.

[colhusker]

That is one way to polish a turd

[Huskerpapa]

Good idea, bad execution...then a turnover.

[colhusker]

How many turnovers does Webster average a game?

[cozrulz]

We have missed pick and roll almost every time.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Pitch has some serious offensive upside. He's just gotta start knowing it.

[cozrulz]

Found him there but a good defensive play by Northwestern.

[Huskerpapa]

Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
