GATA

F'ing slop. So damn annoying.

Gotta finish that, TP...

Big tie up! That was close.

As a team we're 6-11 at the stripe...

Shields 5-of-8 at the FT line including a miss on the front end of a 1-and-1.

And a cheapy foul on the other end...

Big miss...

We might have gotten away with one there...

Shields is so tough.

I think we might lead the country in dumb fouls far away from our own basket.

This. A lot.

We had an 11-point lead, right?

Indiana is making some friggin' shots now...

He's finally got some confidence!

There's Ray!

No and-1?

Ouch.

WTF, Pitch? Catch the ball in the post and directly run for the sideline and toss up a soft fade away?

No foul? Eff that.

We really need to win this last minute. GATA!

Bunch of rushed shots down the stretch here...

An assist machine? Webster doesn't have any point guard skills to speak of at the moment.

It's only disappointing because we've been in on some good talent and lost out. If not, I think we'd be pretty happy with Petteway, Pitch, Hawkins, Fuller and Hammond. That in and of itself is really promising. Eventually we're going to get these guys."We've been in on some good talent and lost out." That's the disappointment?! Losing out on hotly-pursued recruits happens to every team out there. Read the Iowa message boards, for example--same song, same verse. Kansas fans complain about this. Louisville fans complain about this, as do Kentucky fans. A better standard is the quality of recruits we are pursuing, whether the best ones we pursue seriously consider Nebrasketball, and the quality of the ones we land. And even then, the quality of a player like Leslee Smith does not become apparent to us internet genius folks until the next season is underway.Agreed, but I think you missed the point of my post. I'm happy with how things have gone. In the past, we wouldn't even have been in on these guys. But that doesn't mean you feel OK with missing out on the top talents. It still hurts to be close to landing these guys. It's great that Miles and Co. have us in this position already. As I said, being in on these guys is a promising development in and of itself. Things are looking up, and we're going to get these guys soon.

Yikes.
