Husker BB vs. Maryland
- Thread starter schuele
- Start date
This team is young and talented. Enjoy the ride but don't hop off on the first sign of choppy waters. Huge to get these two wins but every big ten game on the road or at home will be a battle.
Also, outstanding move throwing that zone at Maryland late in the game. Terps didn't know how to handle it at all. Not a fan of playing zone the whole game, but it's a great thing to have in your arsenal because college teams often get flat-footed against them.
Yep. Miles isn't a genius but he's a good coach and he's the best recruiter we've had in a long time.
I turned it off to eat lunch when Maryland got up 59-47 and afterwards I got on here to see Nebraska up by two with 4 seconds left, just enough time to turn BTN2GO back on and see the last shot by Maryland.
The last thing we should be lookIng at now is RPI. Do not pin your hopes on an NCAA appearance this season. If you do, you will be likely disappointed.
He even said, in his post game interview 'I hate playing zone, but when Gill went down we realized it fits our team really well' Maryland looked lost as soon as we threw it at them.
There is no such bet available so those odds didn't exist. I guess one could look at the odds of winning as an underdog and then multiply it by the odds of doing it again. But I don't know how to find those odds.
Love it when a coach selectively uses a zone defense, because teams get so dependent on ball screens that they suddenly don't know what to do. Maryland looked completely befuddled, and the timing could not have been better.
But the Huskers also won this game by playing terrific man-to-man defense in the first half. The comeback was epic, but it doesn't mean anything if Maryland hangs 50 on you in the first half and coasts the rest of the way.
Thankfully their freshman's arms got tired from draining 3s all game so that he couldn't hit a shot late.
He passed up a couple of open looks at the end there after he missed one.
Yeah that kid killed NU for much of the game, but I was still impressed with the overall defensive effort. To hold Triimble in check the whole first half and give up almost nothing in the paint was important. Great use of the 1-3-1 zone late in the game and a great, great comeback, but this was the type of game that's too often lost by halftime. Huskers looked well-prepared and played hard right out of the gate.Thankfully their freshman's arms got tired from draining 3s all game so that he couldn't hit a shot late.
I'm not expecting it. I said before the season NIT would be a good boost and year. But honestly, I hope he staff and team are thinking big dance. obviously lots of games left but if we take care of home court 10-12 wins is a possibility.
1-3-1 zone. Absolutely loved it!!!!!!! Thank you Miles for reaching out to Coach Mack at Xavier! One of my biggest gripes with Miles has been his live or die with Man 2 Man.

I will continue to look at RPI, thank you very much.
Also, quick update: nobody here is on the team, and looking at a ranking is not some kind of kiss of death.
Wild game. Huskers played great D in the first half and shot the ball pretty well - up by 4 at the break. Trimble awakes in the second half and Terps go on a 17-0 run. Huskers fell down by 13 but didn't panic, crawled back in it and finished with a 14-0 run.
Webster was terrific down the stretch but it was a great team effort. Watson shot it well, Jacobson played the best he has all year, Morrow was a beast on defense, Horne and Roby did some good things, and I will happily add that Miles took Mark Turgeon to the woodshed.

My wife and I went to the basketball game today with some Maryland friends. We only saw 5 other Husker fans there. Terps were in total shock after the game. They never imagined that they would lose. They had a 17-1 home record since joining the Big 10. Our guys never gave up. Several fans told me that the Huskers played hard and congrats. Fun way to start the new year.
I didn't refer to a kiss of death but rather not getting hopes up for something that is very unlikely. But of course feel free to look at it.
The only bad thing about our last two wins is that now I need to go back and delete all of my "Fire Miles now!" posts. Or maybe I should leave them up as a reminder as to why I am not the AD
We lose to Gardner-Webb at home but take to IU and Maryland on the road.
I hate that loss, and it still might cost Nebraska a postseason bid. However, college basketball illustrates in season development more than any other sport. Young teams can actually benefit from terrible losses.
Oh, I'm very happy about the win. Think that AW3 missed out on a special year, but addition by subtraction. Someone was super high on Watson early on. Give that guy the "I know my stuff" hat to wear while posting on this board. Still can't be giving up 17-0 runs. I don't care of the excuse.
There were lots of us that were super high on Watson early on. First time I saw him play. Ed Morrow said it best when he told Miles after Watson committed, "that guys a game changer" coach.

Somehow we have to blame Eichorst
