Basketball: Nebraska @ Rutgers 11:00am ESPNU

[TheNewNU]

If we play this we the rest of the game I wouldnt be surprised if Miles is fired after the game. Just embarassing

 

[schuele]

Interesting strategy to start the second half. Put Watson on the floor with only one other guy who can throw the ball in the ocean, so he has to shoot. So far it's working.

 

[Bill_Callahan2.0]

5-13 conference record was my prediction before season and I'll stick to it. Please prove me wrong by plenty of games.

 

[RealHusker]

Seems like making shots helps

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Rutgers starting to look like Rutgers. Not sure why they got out of the zone.

 

[scarletred]

Watson looks like he has that eye of the tiger look now..
Keep it going boys.

 

[schuele]

Rutgers back into the zone. Need to get the ball into the seams and not just throw it around the perimeter.

 

[cubsker]

glynn is playing some ball now

 

[huskerbaseball13]

5 Rutgers fouls to 1. Huskers need to find a way to get in the bonus

 

[schuele]

Webster and Watson back into form this half, especially driving the ball. Gotta keep that up, and avoid the It's-My-Turn-to-Shoot jumpers.

If nothing else, Huskers playing with a lot more energy and urgency after the break.

And shoot better at the line then last Wednesday night which contributed to the loss.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Watson has woke up. And Rutgers is still Rutgers. Up 5 with nine to go.

 

[TwinsRRUs]

Took some time to play with the kiddos... come back with around 11 mins left and we are winning?!?!?

 

[scarletred]

Should have been a charge towards McVeigh but not playing at home.

 

[schuele]

McVeigh is apparently our designated momentum-killing-3-point-heave-early-in-the-shot-clock specialist.

 

[Harry Caray]

Good comeback, though if it comes down to free throws again, I'm not holding my breath.

I'm surprised at how large and rowdy the Rutgers crowd is, considering they are 0-6 in the conference and we're not exactly a big-name program

 

[schuele]

It must do wonders for Tschimanga's confidence to do something positive and then immediately find himself back on the bench.

 

[bigboxes]

How does Taylor miss that layup? Watson with the great move and last second dish.

 

[Harry Caray]

I swear that the short young-looking ref officiates every single one of our games

 

[cubsker]

How does Taylor miss that layup? Watson with the great move and last second dish.

how does he not even hit the rim

 

[scarletred]

Going to need to win this game at the free throw line coming down the stretch I'm afraid.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

That looked like a pretty iffy call on the charge call against Watson

 

[bigboxes]

how does he not even hit the rim

He should at least have gone to the line. Frustrating.

 

[cubsker]

mctray

 

[cubsker]

these refs let em play inside.

 

[RealHusker]

McVeigh...couple of big shots, I would say.

Making shots makes a difference. Who knew?

 

[scarletred]

McVeigh shooting like crap again.

Now what the hell do you have to say about him.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

McVeigh showing up down the stretch. Huge shots

 

[bigboxes]

McTray!™

 

[dinglefritz]

now play D. McVeigh has found his stroke. Confidence back for now anyway.

 

[TruHusker]

Heating up a litte here at the end but my goodness this team is frustrating to watch.

 

[schuele]

Now what the hell do you have to say about him.

If they can get McVeigh 3s off penetration, that's great. But that's not what was happening earlier in the game.

 

[schuele]

Good Lord, how is that not traveling wayyyyyyyyy before the block call?

 

[RealHusker]

OMG...up 3 with the ball with under a minute to go, and we turn it over.

 

[dinglefritz]

stupid play by Tai. Why wait til 6 seconds to start your offense then dribble in to the middle of a zone. Stupid.

 

[bigboxes]

Good time out, Tim

 

[dinglefritz]

Would rather have an NBA 3 than a turnover in the lane.Tai. Cmon man.

 

[scarletred]

Not F'IN again damnit

 

[kaz36]

Crap!!!

 

[schuele]

Ugh. Webster has been brilliant down the stretch in so many games. But today? Ouch.
