Which is the worst coach in crunch time? Hoiberg or Rhule?
Why not take a TO and draw something up? I don’t get it?
Another multiple end of game joke possessions. Surprise. Somebody cut to the damn bucket
Damn it Fred! You gotta take that last time out when the ball crosses half court. Don’t you? Man…
Essegian was standing wide open for 3 on the wing earlier for a catch and shoot and they don't give him the ball. More dribbling by our "best" guard. Damn. Forget usiing up the game clock. Tie the score when you have the chance.
I was yelling get over half - call a TO. Instead you get that bad shot and game over.
That crossed my mind but then I remembered we would’ve seen the exact thing we saw anyway, save it in case something crazy happens.
They will have to steal 3 or 4 now. Home court won’t be locked down with this team
We’re definitely going to be playing just to make it. We don’t look that good.
You had the ball in Brice's hands. Two possessions in the last minute he had legit 3 point shooters open on the wing and chose to dribble the air out of the ball. The end was in our best player's hands and he pissed it away. You can't draw up a better play than Essegian standing open on the wing for a catch and shoot. Earlier he had Sam WIDE open and dribbled in to 3 guys in the paint. Brice acted like he didn't care today.
Soooooo, no NCAA tourney or ?? I thought we were once projected as an 8 or 9 seed.
Certainly still early, but this team just isn’t showing it has that factor to win. They gotta turn it up now or they will be outside looking in soon.
We got the bad shot because our best player didn't throw the ball to our best 3 point shooter who was WIDE open. You could draw up all kinds of plays and NEVER get a better look than Essegian was going to have standing on the wing. Earlier Brice did the same thing with Sam standing wide open. I hope to hell they make him watch those 2 plays a dozen times on the flight home.
We’ve been an assumed tourney team all year
Until we lost to Rutgers at home
Now it’s an uphill climb
Not exactly building on last year’s achievements/momentum
Going backwards
I’m not there yet, we’ll still win a bunch of games at home. But the NCAA tournament is fading fast, probably 1-2 home losses away from being completely gone. We lack consistent backcourt play, we got no scoring or athleticism on the wings and our perimeter defense is crap.
I only see 1 of those 3 things (potentially) improving. We can maybe get better at defending the 3 but I don’t see our offensive deficiencies improving much. (PG & Wing play) At this point we’re looking for things we don’t have. Not good…
Had ourselves in a great position. Go .500 or slightly better in conference and we’re safely in. Playing our way out of the tourney as of now. Teams know where we’re deficient on both sides of the ball and they’re attacking accordingly. Fred’s gonna earn his paycheck if he can find a way to mask/mitigate our deficiencies at point guard and wing…
This has been a staple of Hoiberg, not necessarily just Brice and it isn’t just today. It’s every single last possession situation in every half of every game. It’s actually pretty mind blowing how consistently bad it is. Easily a 95% failure rate.
Wow, seems like they just can’t handle prosperity and, like football, find ways to lose. Gets old. Hope they can pull their heads out and get it together down the stretch.
If they play like the past 4, they are going to find themselves at or near the bottom of the conference standings real soon. The recent Nebrasketball Turnaround thread on this site is aging poorly quickly.
