Wasted such a nice start with lazy turnovers, a couple of bad fouls and an inability to defend the 3. Sigh...

We should be up 10. So frustrating.

You must have put some money on the game.

Defense.Thats an old argument in my opinion. His last two games he did not give up a single point. That is including playing an all big ten player in White and playing like 18 minutes vs Rutgers. Miles himself said it.We're on track to give up a shitload of points tonight.Might as well try to score some of our own. I don't disagree. I was only answering the original question.

Defense.

That little shove happens every drive to the hoop. Lame.

Ball game.

Shields is worthless on D with those fouls.

Four guys there...

He's on fire. I'm good with that shot. I know he was on fire, but it also was either on dribble, a step-back, or a pull-up. It wasn't dribble down the court and chuck up a 28 footer. It led to a 6 point swing, as they came down and hit a 3 off the long rebound. I know he is the only reason we are within 10, but it still doesn't mean you should be okay with that shot. I'm more than OK with that shot. He was ballin' and hitting tougher shots than that.

What's worse is that the ref flat out blew the call and then felt the need to sweat Miles for the final 5 seconds instead of doing his effing job. What a tool.

That was a really crappy finish.

We're playing really well and have little to show for it.

Pressing does a few things to your team though... 1) Leads to more tired legs as you are a constant on the go team. 2) May lead to easy buckets for Nebraska. All it takes is for us to break the press and we have a 3 on 2, 2 on 1, etc. That is something you may not want to do. We are not the best in the half court, and points can sometimes be hard for us to find. Why would you want to press us and possibly allow us easy buckets? Besides that if you allow us easy buckets then you have to come down and try to find a bucket against our tenacious D. 1) Valid point, which is why you only do it in spurts (I was exaggerating about pressing for 10 minutes, but I'd make it a point of emphasis in my game plan). 2) I don't remember a whole lot of easy buckets for us against the press. I bet we've given up a lot more than we've gotten vs. the press. Seriously, we're really bad at breaking the press.

If I coached against Nebraska, I'd press for at least 10 minutes a game. It's crazy how bad we are at breaking them.

I hope Petteway finds his FT stroke. Sure, he's an inefficient volume shooter, but you can make up for it by getting to the line and knocking them down. He gets to the line 6.6 times a game, but is shooting only 67 percent from the stripe. Last year he shot 82 percent. That's basically a point per game difference.

That block by Tarin!!!

Tarin!!!

What happened to Petteway's FT stroke?

His boring interview sucked the life out of the defense.

Well that was a really annoying stretch...

Nice finish to the first half, until the last 5 seconds.

Followed up with the person, and he said we have not offered a scholarship, but that Miles wants a guard in the 2016 class. Sorry I don't have much more to go on.
