Need a round of shots over here....

 

Just one?

[brfrad]

I'm disappointed that we lost, but unlike Tuesday night I am not disappointed in the effort.

[PeltzFan12]

hey, at least we can look forward to our CBI matchup against Creighton.

The final score would be 31-29, not sure who would have the 31...

[KarlHessEatMy....]

They are God awful to watch.. sad that a div 1 team can't even score 50 in a game..

Well on to Tuesday.

We have to win or at least not look dead in a road game sometime right?

[Huskerpapa]

Petteway continues to set up shooters with open looks and we cannot knock them down.  The lack of shooters is a killer.

And yes the effort was better. The best was probably Tai.

[PeltzFan12]

So, 1:16 to play, down by 15, and we foul 93 feet from the hoop?  

[brfrad]

I think all of us and Miles are at a loss for what to do on the road.  We can't make shots.  We just can't.  If we can't make, we're not going to win.  We can't get to the line, either to help us.

[Huskerpapa]

Stop fouling...please.

Can Shields hit an outside shot over 10 feet? His shooting outside of 10 feet has been horrible this year! What's the deal?

[Huskerpapa]

The first half simply kicked our butt.

you lose 100% of the fouls you don't use.

Whats the deal with Pitch as well.

[PeltzFan12]

With this team's mentality, I'm thinking we're still a little hung over from the Rhode Island game.  Only kidding.

[huskerbaseball13]

Is anyone going to tell Shields to stop shooting outside shots? I guess he can keep throwing up prayers if he so chooses.

That is our outside offense from everybody!!  We don't have a shooter.  We just have guys throw shots up, and pray they go in.

[HuskerFever]

On the bright side our longest losing streak this year is 2, which isn't all that bad. Let's keep it that way.

We have the Wildcats right where we want em!!

I know people have said the effort was good, but I disagree. While we worked hard defensively, we didn't compete at all offensively. That's not scouting the box score or simply looking at point totals, but we have no fight on offense. We had no clue how to attack, and we were incredibly soft with the basketball.

 

I'm at a loss right now. I can't believe how awful we look offensively, and it goes beyond making open jump shots. We make dumb passes. We run the clock down with passive passing around the 3-point line. We're soft with the ball when dribbling to the middle of the defense. It's just awful to watch.
