Yeah, killed it with this take, I totally agree. Do you think maybe the loss, as painful as it was, is a better thing for the team, since maybe it'll rattle some of these guys (verge esp), wake them up to the issue with hero ball? They probably already knew and know... But with college kids you gotta experience it first hand sometimes. Hope it worked and Fred's yelling the last few days did its work. Lol

Neb - 80 SHSU - 73

Thank you for being a good fan, sir. When I also saw that missed FT, I thought of worst case scenario too, "ah, the huskers are gonna lose to a desperate heave 3 now, aren't they" Worst way it could've gone. But also my motto is, don't put yourself in a situation where that can happen in the first place(shouldn't be that close in the final 5) - - whether that bad thing is crooked Refs or in this case, miracle rainbow threes by 300lb 7 footers.

A couple Positives and a Lotta Negatives on this night. Still glad I was there, maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, maybe I'm conditioned to it. It now feels comfortable and normal to me to lose like this (which is bad... And shows how long you've been a nebrask(etball) fan, by how unsurprised you are when these Heartbreakers happen) Positives: + we know we have scorers on the team as a fact, and that Bryce is natural at it too. Need that to come at the end of 6-10 other passes, not from hero ball. That pissed me off. + our very own Japanese wunderkind + LOTS of game tape for fred on how NOT to play team basketball. Negatives: - rebounding. But with Fred's style I kind of expect this deficit every night, and Imo it's a calucated loss, not a huge deal if you can run an offense - without trey and Zo playing pure point and not giving a sh** about scoring, we're toast. We need distribution. Dedicated point gawd. - as I mentioned, 90% of the problem tonight was no passing and instead playing hero ball. It's disgusting. It's the opposite of what Fred builds and preaches, space and pace and passing. - we failed the gut check, the "how do you respond to adversity" when you get smacked in the mouth Test. Teams ain't gonna just lay down for you, guys. Grow a pair and pull together. It was clear as day from a mile away, they weren't working together. I can't question effort, but they weren't going with a game plan, that's for sure. They were going with improv, just trying things. Fix a few things and I still have a lot of hope for these guys. Still love the team and hope they improve, GBR.

For everyone talking about their podcast and how they have to stop that and get focused, maybe listen to the pod or something first, because they announced after the last pod before the games started that they'd slow the pod pace down and only do it once a month or so whenever they can fit it in. Calm down.

WHY THO Stupid world we live in.

I'm talking about the first time your team feels adversity. And I could see it in the building. Sorry I wasn't more CLEAR Believe me, the conference will give us plenty of those later on. Won't have to wait that long even. Pretty disappointing night for sure.

Head scratcher... We NEED THAT SIZE DESPERATELY!

I yelled G A T A in fact from 300 lvl tonight. Needed some grit. Didn't help that they didn't run a set or offense all night, try to pass ffs. First test fail.

Wow. Wow wow wow. Last shot was the epitome and example of the horrible offense all game long. Ffs.

The steph curry 3s these leather necks are hitting are INSANE. Wtf. Heartbreaking.

This kinda game is always worthy of heart palpitations, because a loss is DEVASTATING but a close eek out win is one of the best coaching tool gifts Fred could ever get! Let's GET THIS

Slowing the game down with the replays is bs. It's hurting the game of Cbb.

Yeah. That's alright in hoiberg system too, long as you run an offense, move the ball like the GSW... NOT THIS pile of kobe BS we're seeing tonight. Of course I understand verge and Bryce are doing it because they feel they're the only hope now... But it's not the right way. You have to fight so hard for a bucket and it's not a high percentage shot. It's just so much better moving it around and getting it to Shooters!

SOLO DRIVES TO THE RIM AIN'T WORKING, TRY SOMETHING Different, like moving around passing and getting the open 3...

It's definitely a little... Yikes. Not the worst I've seen, but it's sketchy for sure. We have ourselves to blame for most of this debacle.

This.

Theres some truth there... Bryce more athletic. I hate hero ball. I fkin hate it.

Don't worry... I see Creighton is having their own similar issues with Ark - PB. it's okay, other good teams are having struggles too. Gotta shake out the kinks. Might be 5 games of this but I hope we figure things out sooner.... For God's sake

Verge hits the kobe shot. We can clap when it goes in, but that's still a bad bit of O.. Haha I'm starting to like the new tradition people up here have made tonight of yelling "Rebound!!" every time on D after a shot. Gonna be yearlong. Lol

Husker fans love grit. We eat it UP. Maybe this fail performance of a game has forced it out of these guys. We already know we have good talent. It goes to prove to all of us that a team that's well coached and out-efforts ya can beat you any time. We're in a hole because we didn't put it all out there and ran a stagnant offense.

Scrap and claw, guys. A win is a W is a W is a W. But fuuu.... How horrible a L would feel tonight. Knock on wood.

I definitely didn't want a husker struggle bus tonight, but this is the kind of adversity that a team like us (any team) really needs early season. Good to see if they fight through, how gritty they are. Really tests your team. Another little positive : currently 14/15 from the line. Huskers (Bryce) shooting really well there. Need to work on D and discipline on all sides.

You just Knew the huskers had to go with the classic skers and give us a heart attack on night one, who's surprised here? Lol

I'm in the same boat! Bring on the predictions, I love this contest every year.
