Nebraska (16-17) Vs. Maryland (24-7) Game Thread

I know it wouldn't have counted, but the way the 1st half went, I'm surprised the 3/4 shot didn't go in.

[Red Don]

Nothing to worry about, it's only a flesh wound!

What is the ncaa record for highest FG % in a game?

Well whaddaya know it is Maryland who's was 15/18 (83%) vs South Carolina in 1971

 

That sounds like a really boring game.

I hate Maryland...enough said.

Their pace on offense was unreal. We have to find a way to disrupt and slow them down.

[brfrad]

One positive, our free throw defense has been pretty good, tonight. Maryland is 5 - 9 from the line.

[Blackshirt83]

Considering how they shot, we got a chance here. Gotta play for single digits at the 7 min mark and go from there.

Maybe their entire team being hot at the same time means they will all go cold at the same time too. Gotta stay in striking distance and capitalize when they do.

[Red Don]

(About) Now would be a good time to start the comeback!  

[brfrad]

We just need to be + 5 during each media break. We do that, we win the game. Get it to 12 by the under 16 and we have a chance.

[brfrad]

Well, that didn't take long.

[atskooc]

Well, at least we can't complain about the refs.

[atskooc]

For fuck's sake!

This is unbelievable..... Only the hand of god can explain what I've been watching

[Huskerpapa]

The good news, our offense isn't the problem...but goodness, we have no clue how to stop their offense.  They spread the floor and are beating each and everyone of our defenders...every time.

[HuskerCager]

Sorry folks, but I think that we are going to have 100 laid on us for the first time since Billy Tubbs' TCU squad beat us 101-89 in the NIT on 3/15/1999.

[jason2486]

Oh I can complain about the refs! Mainly that they are so damn inconsistent on Legal/Illegal screens. Otherwise, nothing much to complain about.

[brfrad]

Well, let's see first media timeout, and we were - 8. That should do it. Now, it's about pride. You know it is not your night when the other team shoots a 3 and it's rolling off the rim, but somehow goes in.

[The Polish Rifle]

Who wants to bet Maryland shoots below 35% from the field tomorrow

[Huskerpapa]

Tim just yelled 19 lets go.

[HuskerCager]

Did Tim just "Boo-o-o" the ref?

[Huskerpapa]

Tim just booed...almost earned a T.

[Huskerpapa]

Well, we are working!

[Ron Mexico]

Just an incredible effort from the Huskers to not pack it in.

[hal9000]

I think Benny's legs are tired.  Melo is beating him pretty good on the drive, which I don't think he could do as well against fresh Benny. 

[Huskerpapa]

Making an effort.  Keep fighting men, keep fighting.
