Hoiskers travel to Champaign as 9.5 underdog

[mgbreis]

Holy crap, they left the defense in the locker room at half.

 

[BrighteRed24]

lol, Nebrasketball

 

[HuskAir]

Awful start to the half.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

I get what Shine is saying. We waste about 5-10 possessions a game on careless passes and steals on drives. We are shooting well from outside and that compensates for the unforced errors, but we aren't good enough (yet) to give away possessions.

So does everybody

 

[scarletred]

And here we go again. Second verse same as the first in second half games on the road.

 

[HuskAir]

I’m a little out of the loop…where is CJ Wilcher?

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

We had a rough couple minutes, let’s l freak out and bail on the team like the first half of Wisconsin

You can tell very easily who is result based and who is process based in their thinking in how they react in game. “But we’re winning” will get you beat in the long run.

 

[BetterRed]

Seems Underwood told them to get to the rim.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

They have locked him up really good. Playing really tight on the perimeter

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Losing some defensive intensity

 

[mgbreis]

lol, Nebrasketball

Yeah, definitely. Nebraska is the only team that has to withstand a run by a top 20 team on the road.

 

[MargotDeeper]

Oh, ffs, Mast. Really? Point blank range, twice?

 

[MargotDeeper]

Following for answer...

 

[mgbreis]

We're going toe-to-toe vs a top 20 team on the road. Proud of this team.

 

[BetterRed]

Ughhhh….gotta rebound. Phuck.

 

[schuele]

Too flat-footed on the boards. Can’t keep giving away long rebounds.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

We look like the better team. Just need to box out better but what a game !

You BETTER toe the line and talk positive, or you're a low-life douche canoe.

 

[BrighteRed24]

It’s unbelievable the havoc that #3 and #10 for Illinois are creating with offensive rebounding.

 

[MargotDeeper]

Get hot, Wilch.

 

[mgbreis]

You BETTER toe the line and talk positive, or you're a low-life douche canoe.

What? If you want to be negative it's fine with me. Just don't jump back on the bandwagon as soon as we go on a run. Some of you are going to get whiplash changing directions.

 

[HuskAir]

Wilcher is alive!

 

[BetterRed]

Yeah, you gotta give these guys credit for playing well tonight. Illinois is probably the second best team in the conference and our guys are playing with them on the road.

 

[regionsdoc]

We expend a lot of energy scrambling on every D possession. I don’t understand why we double team even against O players who don’t require it. With only an 8 man rotation and being undersized, we are going to wear down.

 

[schuele]

Survived Illinois’ fast start after the break pretty well. Hit the boards harder and get good shots, and this is winnable.

 

[HuskAir]

U uh ttrdfjjhtrrrfg!!!!!

Pointing out easy to fix deficiencies that are holding them back from blowing games like this open isn’t “negative”. The team has a lot of potential. Careless turnovers get you beat on the road. If they want to get where they want to go, those have to get fixed.

 

[mgbreis]

I think we're tired maybe.

 

[schuele]

I would dare Goode to shoot until he shows he can hit one. He’s oh for the night so far.

I don't remember talking to you? I think I responded to a "LOL Nebrasketball" post.

Athletic contests are emotional roller coasters, we as fanatics ride them up & down. We express both thrills & spills on here so we don't scream at the dog. Also, we can be critical of one player's play and still be a fan of the team as a whole.

 

[scarletred]

Give them credit for hanging in there. Much better performance on the road in conference play.

Yeah, but I still don't know what you're talking about? It seems to me for anyone that is critical of negativity there are about 10 of you shouting down anyone critical of negativity. Do whatever you want, as I said before.

I don’t think we have enough height, length, or overall athleticism to play straight up all the time.

Yeah when they are playing shitty you are pissed about it and they play good you aren't. Lots of ups and downs

Yeah, I was playing with @TampaBaySkers mostly.

Yeah this probably won't end in our favor but I like them more than I did earlier going to Northwestern

 

[HuskAir]

****ing bullshit. That was off of Illinois

 

[SomedayHusker]

Getting lazy again on the road
