Maryland led 66 - 57 with 5 minutes to go. We tied it at 66 with 1 minute to go. They let us back in the game.

Maryland wasn't much better at 10 - 18

Nebraska 78 USC 65

Our transition defense in the last 3 games has been abysmal. If that gets fixed, we have a chance to turn this thing around.

More than that. It was letting Harper get to the middle of the floor and going to work on us down the stretch. We needed to force him baseline. Forcing Rutgers to take 29 3's is a good plan. Some of those are by a 6'10" player with a step back, hand in his face draining them.

Live, I didn't think much of it. I thought Rollie had made a poor decision. I rewound it and it was obvious.

Worster with a solid game. 10 points, 7 boards, and 5 assists. With 1 questionable turnover. Where Bailey reaches over the end line and takes the ball out of his hand.

I agree with you this will be a blemish. However, we have to get this figured out right now or we will be figuring out how many wins we need to make the Big 10 tournament. We need to get back to playing on the defensive end.

That sucks! Not boxing out and missed fres throws in crunch time did us in.

Nebraska 60 Maryland 76

3 1/2 minutes to go to save the season.

A poor time for the refs to swallow their whistles.

10 offensive rebounds on 21 missed shots from Rutgers cannot happen.

BOX the f OUT

Good start to the 2nd half.

Most surprising stat Rutgers 8 offensive rebounds Nebraska 11 offensive rebounds

Why not a 25 footer turn around with a guy in his face to end the half. Our last 75 minutes of defense has left a lot to be desired.

They are crashing the boards on the offensive end. They have little interest in keeping us off the boards on our shots.

My favorite from Major League. "For the Indians, 1 run on 1 hit. That's all we got 1 god damn hit. You can't say god damn on the air. Don't worry no one's listening anyway."

The last 2 times we had guys playing against their former teams, they did not play well. Berke was 1 - 8 with 4 points and 3 turnovers. He did grab 9 rebounds. Uhlis had 1 assist and 1 turnover against Iowa.

We actually held Iowa to their lowest point total at home in regulation (76). Overtime was another story.

Early in the game, we struggle to get out on shooters, throughout the year. They get good looks, and usually make them. Today was that times 10. We also let that dictate our close outs the rest of the game, today. We missed some 3's and were unable to get in the paint. We became very reliant on poor 3 point shots. A lot of hero ball occurred. All is not lost. The last 2 years, we have played our best once we get into February.

Nebraska 75 Rutgers 64

If we look at our games away from home St Mary's 15 turnovers close loss Creighton 7 turnovers double digit win Michigan State 11 turnovers blowout loss. MSU made 12 3's to our 4 Murray State 15 turnovers double digit win Hawaii 12 turnovers double digit win Oregon State 12 turnovers double digit win Iowa 14 turnovers overtime loss. Iowa makes 17 3's to our 9 Purdue 17 turnovers blowout loss. Purdue makes 19 3's to our 6

We have went from what seed are we getting in the Big dance to are we going to make the Big 10 tournament. We have struggled all year with ball handling with pressure on the road.
