Free throws beat them tonight.

[HuskerFever]

[PeltzFan12]

Have our two PG's have been our top offensive players??

[Bugeaters1]

Make your fucking free throws and the Huskers win this game.

[GATA]

We deserved to lose. What a deflating season. I'm going to hate life when I have to get up for work in a few hours.

[PeltzFan12]

As ugly as this game has been, despite all of our turnovers and breakdowns, we simply make free throws and we get slaughtered by the shocker tomorrow night....

[trickey]

AGAIN!?!?

[PimpMario]

This team is better in crunch time without petteway.

[Bugeaters1]

missed 10 free throws and get beat.

[hhcmatt]

Rough loss #Bleh

[HuskerFever]

Pathetic. It is what it is.

[GATA]

SMH. We're friggin terrible.

[Bugeaters1]

less than 70 % Hawaii is on there free throws and they cant miss.

[trickey]

This is getting old!

But ...Gosh...maybe we can be 2 and 1...whoopee!!!!!!

[PeltzFan12]

Who else noticed Shavon spraining his ankle on that last second shot by pitchford, which wouldn't have won the game anyway?  You can keep all that hexing, vexing, curse crap and throw that on the other guys....this is our time???

We were outscored by 20 when Petteway was on the bench

Lee mentioned it...hopefully it's not too bad

[GATA]

We suck in crunch time no matter who is in the game.

[PeltzFan12]

Is Shields really quite clumsy that just looks kinda athletic?

[Dean Smith]

Soft. Mentally and physically. Nobody wanted to bring the ball up the floor against pressure. Pulled up scared and wasn't strong physically and they take the ball from us over and over again. Everybody that has pressured us this year has gotten the same result. Gave up way too many second shots because we were not strong enough. When Petteway takes bad shots it is mental weakness. When he gets frustrated and gets a T for trash talking and an off the ball foul its mental weakness. You can work your butt off all you want in the off season, be absolutely ripped and still be mentally soft. Nobody right now is showing consistent toughness. Rivers misses a layup because he tries to change his shot when challenged by a player 5 inches shorter. Pitchford refusing to post up is physical and mental weakness. We have absolutely no inside game whatsoever. If you're going to rely on penetration and threes you have to spread the floor more and get people up above the free throw line to open those lanes. We have the pieces to be successful but someone needs to take charge and show some toughness. Soft, soft and softer still.
