Nebraska (13-9 5-5 8th) vs Penn St. (14-9 2-812th) Game Thread

[Huskerpapa]

I am simply mystified by our offense or lack thereof.  I just did not see this coming.

[PeltzFan12]

Shavon's hands are slightly better than Leslie Smith's....maybe.

[Silverbacked1]

NUTS, GOT TO EITHER GET FOULED OR NEVER MIND.

[Mr. Red]

We scored over 40 points today on the road.  Moral Victory

[PeltzFan12]

Why in the holy !@$@$ are we fouling now??  

[Huskerpapa]

This game was decided in first half.  Now it is going to be a blow out.  I am simply having trouble coming to terms with what happened to our offense.  Puzzling at best...frustrating for sure.  Baffled...

[Bugeaters1]

My wife said the fat lady has sung

[TomEadesSucks]

Unacceptable.

[Mr. Red]

Walt please don't foul and make this "game" last longer than it needs to

[hskr4life]

Well... sucks to lose.  NCAA's aren't out of the question, but we would have to win out the regular season.  Disappointing.

[PeltzFan12]

So, our team isn't ready to play on the road.  Bo always got nailed to the cross for that the past few years.  I'm hopeful it isn't, but I really hope this isn't Coach Mile's team's MO...

If Walt doesn't get off to a good start you might as well sit him. A 6'9 kid with only 1 rebound in this game is pathetic. You almost have to be running away from the ball to only get 1.

that won't happen scoring 43 points.

[Silverbacked1]

why are these guys still talking about us in the NCAA? we ain't going right now. I am hoping for,the NIT.

Oh well on to Tuesday.

[northwillriseagain]

We are out of the ncaa's. This team, this year, will not be winning the combo of Maryland ×2, Wisconsin, & Ohio State.

Nope... the only thing that would help us get in by winning the rest of our regular season games is the schedule we have coming up. Thats the ONLY reason we still have a shot by winning them all.

[huskerbaseball13]

Hskr4life...are you series? We know what this team is and it isn't a NCAA team this year. We will be lucky to make the NIT. They need to take the next step and that's scoring over 50 points on the road somehow some way.

[colhusker]

Horrible loss, we just can't score.  Hard to believe a Div 1. basketball team is this bad at shooting.

It wasn't last year but certainly is this year. What's frustrating is that it is virtually the same team.

Yeah... I'm serious.  If you don't think there is still a chance, I will take your tickets.  I'll even give you my mail address.

Even at home at times that has been a struggle to score 50 at home.

[huskerbaseball13]

And I have a chance to win the lottery tonight. What makes you think this team can win 3 road games down the stretch? Because that's what will need to happen if we want to be in the discussion.

[Silverbacked1]

Always a chance, slim but weider things have happened.

This is the kind of team that could maybe win the B1G tournament and get the auto bid, who knows.

I know it isn't likely but...

[PeltzFan12]

Our mental toughness is probably the main thing that has disappointed me this season.  Veteran group who had success last year, and Coach Miles blames slow starts and bad games to previous losses.  After a slow start vs. UNO, he said it was all because they were still affected from the Rhode Island game.  That should have been a major RED flag.  What did they think, they were going to win them all?  It's not like in football, where the Rhode Island game knocked them out of the BCS playoff....but they acted like it.  Then when we lost to Incarnate Word, Miles said it's because of the Creighton game still affecting us.  Got to have short memories.

[huskerbaseball13]

I won't tell you that you can't talk about it. Sure nobody has been eliminated from punching their ticket. But it's just not in our cards this year. Hopefully in the offseason we can find some offense and get in next year. I'm afraid this year we may not make the NIT.
