Nebraska (6-4) vs Loyola Marymount (3-7) Game Thread

That block Tarin Smith just pulled off -- Benny couldn't have done.  Tarin resembles Sek Henry to me....

Benny probably wouldn't have been in that situation and would have denied the pass with his eyes closed. Just sayin.

Well, earlier in the game he most certainly got himself in that position, got screened and then came over and their guy scored the second basket of the game over the 5'7" Parker.  Look, I'm not busting on Parker at all.  I love Benny's energy and defense. But 5'7" is 5'7".  And yes, I know he's listed at 5'9", but I'm 5'9" and I'm considerably taller than Benny. I'm just a fan of bigger guards, that's all.

I was just talking basically didn't take as picking on Benny. Anyway that fouls was bs on Terran.

 

I hear ya man.  Right as I typed it, Benny blocked a jump shot, haha.

Round ball in the round hole! Walt P for 3!

[Silverbacked1]

Man...we get a little something going and then we go into a funk.  I just don't get it.  It is like putting a square peg in a round hole right now.

Gotta say it,

That's what she said.!!!!!!

[Huskerpapa]

Shavon is simply going through the motions...what the heck???

[Huskerpapa]

We are playing these guys like they are something special...we need to simply put the thump on them...comeon man!

This reminds me of a Iowa Girls JV basketball game.

With fewer media timeouts. That actually sounds more appealing right now.

What a snoozer in Hawaii. Two bad teams going at it.

[HuskerFever]

This is like watching the Buccaneers play the Titans right now.

Pitch took a big tumble there

[Silverbacked1]

Usually the popcorn is really good at high school games. Oh, oh...and hot dogs are the best. Have had some good pulled pork at a couple of small college football games.

Also remember Shavon rolled an ankle on the last play last night and I think it is in the back,of his mind.

[HuskerFever]

We're leading at half. At least we have that....

[The Polish Rifle]

What an absolutely thrilling half of basketball.

[Huskerpapa]

Wow...could we play any worse...and yet still a five point lead at the half.

[ajb5856]

That's it! Officially a blow out! 5 point lead feels like 25!

Haha with that 3 Benny wins

Just wait for the drought. It's coming.

[HuskerCager]

OK, so where can I look up Div I team avg PPG over the last 10 years.  We have to be in the bottom 10.

[gobigredbrah]

i think benny is around 5'8

[PeltzFan12]

I seriously have to wonder about Shavon.  He seems so distracted.....girlfriend issues?  I know he has a heavy school load as far as classes go, but my goodness, he looks completely despondent out there. 

[PeltzFan12]

I've stood next to him numerous times....I can assure you, if he's 5'8", I'm 5'11", and I'm really 5'9"

[PimpMario]

At this point I am happy with a half time lead. We may not break 50.

[gobigredbrah]

Wish we still had Ubel

Did he just burn himself out? he was playing like a man possessed at the beginning of the year.

 

we'll have a week off after tomorrow's game, so hopefully he gets things figured out.

[PeltzFan12]

He's a great kid and I agree, at the beginning of this year, I thought he and TP were going to run rough shod over the Big 10 as a duo.  Now, I think that can still happen, but should we be paging Jack Stark about now?
