[Silverbacked1]

Okay getting in at 4 this morning couldn't have helped any, I know lame but they look like the are sleep walking some tonight.

Dekker's do is nothing like Kaminsky's.

What are you talking about?

Kaminsky's isn't horrible I guess but a couple of them have Sesame Street cuts. Mainly Dekker and a couple others.

Your joke fell flat.

. Not really flat but a euro-style steeple cut. That's what I call them anyway. They're awful.

Refs didn't lose this game...they may not have helped us...but this failure is on us.

 

Yes... Yes... Partial Yes.

Did TP get half our points???  It had to be close right up to the end.

[atskooc]

He had 27

The last bucket by Smith gave TP 27, the rest of the team 28.

Seth Greenberg has a surprisingly accurate analysis of our team and area's that we need to improve in.  His take on Benny was pretty spot on.

And for those of you who do not think Petteway is a special player, he could very well pass Franky boy in career points.  Franky 1,018 and Petteway 997.  And Frank has played 3 and a half years, and Petteway 1 and a half.

First off, I did not expect us to win...I wanted us to win, hoped we could win; but did not expect a win.  But I did expect our full team to show up and play their collective a** off.  That did not happen, and for that, I am disappointed.

I do think they played hard, Wisconsin is a real good offensive team.  We are still a good defensive team, but if the other team is hitting their outside shots like Wisconsin did, we aren't going to win.  We needed to hold most teams under 60.  I think if we play a crappy defensive team, like Indiana, we might score 65 - 70.  Other than playing a team like that, we won't score much over 60, especially on the road.

FWIW I think they are counting the points TP scored at Texas Tech as a freshman.  But he will get over 1,000 in 2 seasons at NU.

Here is my counter-argument...and I should apologize for not taken a cooling off period.  But how many 50/50 balls did we get to?  How many times did we have the basket surrounded, yet did not get the rebound?  How many times did the offense break down and simply hope that TP would make it happen? 

 

Hey games like this occur.  But I was not at all happy with tonights effort.  The early fouls took Shavon out of his game.  Walt did okay, but nothing really special.  TP was a stud.  Benny and David left their games back in Lincoln.  TSmith was great the last two minutes, but otherwise, nada.  Leslee and Moses were okay but nothing special. 

 

Yes, Wisconsin is good, if not great.  But their students were not back, their PG was out, Frank was coming back from a concussion.  We had early opportunities, but struggled defending and (but for) TP was offensively challenged.  I am blathering, but I am disappointed with the collective effort tonight.

I see your point there.

I believe he scored about 88 points his frosh year total...so he definitely filled up the majority while a Husker.  He also cold cocked Connor Teahan from KU during a game his frosh year....saw it on youtube.

If they didn't call a double technical on the initial elbow to Petteway's head, they missed out.
