Basketball: Nebraska @ Rutgers 11:00am ESPNU

[TwinsRRUs]

Nebraska is 9-9 (3-3)
Rutgers is 11-8 (0-6)

My predictions:

Nebraska gets out of its recent funk.
Huskers win by 15... 78-63ish
Watson gets back in his groove and scores 20+
Webster keeps doing what he has done this year and scores 20+

It IS a road game by the way

GBR!

Rutgers played Iowa very tough right after we beat team and RU lead most of the game and then Iowa and Jok went on fire and ended up pulling away...

Really hate to say this is a must win game but let's be honest after losing to bucknuts the way we did this one looms huge if we want to play post season Basketball.

 

[TwinsRRUs]

At least the foul calls are going both ways so far.

 

[TwinsRRUs]

Somewhat boring so far...

Rutgers is either really careless with the ball or the Husker D is being aggressive with their hands and knocking the ball around quite often.

 

[scarletred]

Big fella needs to use his right hand and go up on the other side of the basket and would have scored.

 

[schuele]

Tshimanga active and playing with confidence today. Sometimes it's ugly as hell, but he's not going to get better sitting on the bench.

 

[scarletred]

McVeigh shooting like crap again.

 

[scarletred]

Does it look like we are playing down to our compation today.. Missing too many bunnies.

 

[RealHusker]

Just painful watching Nebraska shoot the basketball...ugh.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Another snooze fest from Nebrasketball. 24% from the field

 

[schuele]

I thought Horne and Tschimanga were pretty productive when they were in there. Some kind of alarm must go off that says they must return to the bench.

 

[huskerfan66]

My goodness. Since we seem to play only one half lately, hopefully today it's the second half
.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

15 consecutive missed shots.

 

[RealHusker]

Rutgers is winless in conference play so far, right?

Even Watson is shooting bricks...

 

[RealHusker]

15 consecutive missed shots.

Unfortunately, that covers their last 21 possessions.

You didn't read the first thread.

Haven't won a game in more than a month. But you wouldn't now it based on this game - Huskers are making them look like Kansas.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

This may be the worst offense I've seen all year...out of any team.

 

[RealHusker]

It's just as well that NU doesn't even get shots off on so many possessions...hate to see someone get hurt rebounding the miss.

 

[Harry Caray]

Jesus, this is the type of performance that gets coaches fired. We have no answers right now.

 

[scarletred]

My God what a turd feast..So much for beating INDIANA AND MARYLAND.

Oh yea and Iowa.

 

[schuele]

Those people who squeal about the HATERS only showing up when the Huskers lose - I'm interested to hear what they have to say about the first half.

Anyone?

 

[bigboxes]

Yes I am watching. No, I am not happy. Lame effort.

 

[RealHusker]

NU's last made FG came at the 10:25 mark of the first half. Against Rutgers.

That is not normal.

You do realize we are the only team in the B1G without 10 wins right? 3 straight conference upsets really has Husker fans thinking we are good.

 

[huskerfan66]

You've got to win your home games and pick off a few road games and win the obvious ones like this. Failure to do so = FAILURE.

 

[cubsker]

woof

 

[kaz36]

17 straight missed FG. This is beyond bad. Hopefully Watson and Webster can get hot the second half.

 

[nudan92]

That may be the worst half of basketball in the Tim Miles era. The last 10 minutes of that half may be the worst I've ever seen any basketball team play ever at Nebraska.

Thats probably what Rutgers coaching staff was saying too.

Of course I do by the way we were a slight favorite over Iowa so two upset wins not three.

 

[TwinsRRUs]

At least we got our two scoring droughts taken care of all at once!

Now we can score consistently the whole second half and kick some butt... right?

 

[donahues17]

Of course I do by the way we were a slight favorite over Iowa so two upset wins not three.

Even though we were the slight favorite I still consider it an upset with adding no major wins in non conference games and a loss to Gardner freaking webb. Lets pray for a much better second half.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Need a good first 5 minutes here

 

[Archie Graham]

This is pathetic.

 

[newAD]

First chance I've had to check the score. Boy I'm glad I'm working.

 

[cubsker]

good start to the 2h

Iowa starts 4 Freshman and lost to UNO.. Back at ya.

 

[kaz36]

Good start so far. Watson with 5 points and an assist to start the second half.
