Bright side: Our Defense is obviously back, and in a big way. Look at how close we were to beating a top 5 team at home, even despite all going on. A little offense, a OK game from palmer, and another 3 (basically all equating to shooting 40-45% from the field instead of 30), and this upset is ours, and we're rushing the court. keep the line, guys. This team is good (with it's faults). I'll take a close loss with good D any day over a 95-90 loss.

Wait, HOW THE HELL did JPJ end up with 24? He had a horrible night, I thought!?

4 points, folks!! This is why you dont leave early. Support your team. Seriously, though: literally never any reason to leave early. You probably wont "beat the rush". Only reason would be if you had an event or work or something. 99% of the time you should stay.

Time to improve scoring margin for the stats. So we can say "only lost by 4 " ?

Fuck out of here no signature wins my ass

Shoot. Missed opportunity tonight. Had the d to win this. Really really blows to shoot this poorly. Every time. Not the deathnail people may make it out to be. We can win most of the next 5.

ASSHOLES LEAVING OUT THE FRONT BEHIND COURTSIDE What do you think that does for morale? Fuck you.

Yes. I think we are finally seeing it for what it is as fans. Problem 1A: no shooting. Problem 1b: refs.

I've seen worse referee squads, but this is bad all the same. Lot of no calls that palmer usually gets. Doesn't help that we're shooting like ass. Hard to win with 28% and under 50 at the 7 min mark.

Get a stop. Start fastbreak. Hit FTs. Rinse and repeat. Really gotta start shooting the leather off the ball tho. Sub 30% isnt good enough. You arent winning big ten games like that. Honestly I'm amazed its 3 points. They have a 15% advantage shooting and they're not killing us. Stick in there and hit a few shots and the crowd will push the momentum in your favor.

Lol yeah, I mean at 28% right now that ain't so hot. Might get back to 45% for the game we shoot well and I can see that happening. ? fingers crossed

I'm gonna have to sleep 2 full days after this one. So high energy! I love it!

Now build on this lead! Loving the D and limiting on their most physical players we've showed so far. We have a great team here!

Boy... nothing gets us husker fans going more than good D and a shot clock violation! ?

Zone worked beautifully there. Nice coverage

Great To see nana and tanner early

That blackshirt D is back! Great poss!

Man Winston is something. This is a good state squad. But this is our opportunity. Cant be mad if we lose to this team though, I'm convinced it's a title contender.

Cool. We can risk it. Im never going to deny how great we are when we can be... But I'm also not the only one saying this. This coming from a scarred Timberwolves fan when thibs was there. Much happier now. My concern is entirely in the players' health, it's a holistic basketball conviction I have that 30-35 minutes is fine, but 35 and more starts to have a parabolic strain effect on the human body. This is all observational ofc. And with the caveat that college hoops is different than the NBA. I just strongly believe in team and rotational balance. That said, I couldn't agree more with you about the fantastic position we find the team in. I just dont want to hit march, and we havent experimented as well as invested play time in anyone outside of those 6, and we still have no depth and are one dimensional, and get ousted. We probably are fine, but it's just a lingering worry for me

Nebby: 68 Sparty: 62 Probably taking the L on this pick, but just in case... GBR!

A loss, and we're talking a lot more about the bad refs and FT differential. Not as atrocious a night of refereeing, I've seen worse. But its ignored because we dominated despite.

Yes. This has had me really worried the past few weeks; can we please run the rotation as deep as possible? It angers me when we don't even try to fake more than 6. C'mon. We're too easy to gameplan and it's not good for the long run obv playing guys nearly 40 minutes

Exactly. These are the types we lose, but the only kinds we lose at the vault. Michigan a couple years ago? Only loss. But I can see us winning this. Gonna be a tough one but I'm super excited to be that this game. Fingers crossed we dont have a sh*tty environment again. I'm guessing not. I feel like the PSU debacle was due to fan morale being low after 2 straight losses. You know what pumps up sker fans? GRITTY WINS ON THE ROAD. Gonna be rockin'.

A sure sign of progress will be when a Nebraska team beats you, it's a quality loss to a good team, and not what it's been for decades: which is losing to Nebraska is sign of program collapse and crisis (Ofc I cant blame them for all these years)

Such an impressive entire performance, especially holding strong and putting a quality team away with a lead on the road. ?
