Sparty comes into the Vault as 3.5 favorite

[mgbreis]

Yikes.

 

[schuele]

Need to get Walker going. Can’t afford empty possessions.

 

[leodisflowers]

They can’t miss and Izzo now gets every ****in call

 

[BetterRed]

Basketball is a simple game. You gotta hit shots. Our guys haven’t in awhile. MSU has.

 

[king_kong_]

winning time, boys

 

[mwulf]

Too many empty possessions

 

[mwulf]

Well if they are going to shoot 70% from 3 that's tough to beat.

 

[mgbreis]

Well if they are going to shoot 70% from 3 that's tough to beat.

Took the words out of my mouth. That's hard to match.

 

[schuele]

Gotta get Lawrence back in. Wilcher is a sieve on defense.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Well if they are going to shoot 70% from 3 that's tough to beat.

Yup.. disappointing

 

[BetterRed]

Well if they are going to shoot 70% from 3 that's tough to beat.

Even easier when you’re shooting them damn near uncontested.

 

[TheNewNU]

Down 20 this half...Total collapse.

 

[yunginsNU2]

That and getting 3 steps in the lane... playing 4/5... and every ticky tac foul

 

[king_kong_]

wouldn't mind seeing izzo keel over on the sideline about now

 

[schuele]

Jesus, let’s take 10 minutes to add half a second to the clock

 

[mgbreis]

That and getting 3 steps in the lane... playing 4/5... and every ticky tac foul

The big goon right before he dunked it? Yeah, I wasn't aware dribbling was optional.

 

[bigboxes]

This is taken too damn long

 

[king_kong_]

f*ck this conference & f*ck tom izzo

can't wait to see this NIT team get boatraced (again) in the tourney

 

[yunginsNU2]

Did i mention how bad these friggen refs are

 

[mgbreis]

Getting fully bent over now.

 

[bigboxes]

Well, back to hockey

 

[schuele]

Welp, so much for the winning streak. Still a great finish if they can take down the Frannies.

 

[TheNewNU]

Total and complete collapse by Nebraska in the 2nd half. Really disappointing. Gotta go to Iowa City and win and get a win in Chicago now.

 

[cubsker]

Was really fun for awhile, but this was probably their worst half of the season.

 

[mgbreis]

I really appreciate them showing the replay of that highlight dunk where the guy took 3 full steps with zero dribbles. I could puke.

 

[cubsker]

Why are their moving screens never called?

 

[schuele]

Kind of like when the guy carried the ball for 5 steps but Shon Morris assured us that it just “looked awkward.”

 

[king_kong_]

Why are their moving screens never called?

everyone on the planet knows why

 

[BrighteRed24]

We look like Nebraska basketball again

 

[yunginsNU2]

Big refs never dissapoint do they?? Every single game unreal

 

[king_kong_]

someone get izzo's ugly kid some rogaine

gross

 

[mgbreis]

Well. That f'n sucked.

 

[schuele]

Easy to forget sometimes how underwhelming NU’s talent level is, because they’ve been playing so hard and smart. But they have no margin for error, like going 7 minutes without a FG.

For too much of that time, we had no walker and no KT on the floor.

 

[weiddj]

Talent level difference on display that second half and also another Neb style scoring drought. MSU shot lights out 2nd half.

 

[spartanhusker]

Epic meltdown

 

[BetterRed]

No question. They lack shooters and athleticism. And when your damn guards can’t hit free throws, you’re really fk’ed.

 

[king_kong_]

that's basketball

at its core, it's a girl's sport

 

[TheNewNU]

Was really fun for awhile, but this was probably their worst half of the season.

That second half against St. Johns may be worse. Not really a fun thing to compare.

 

[schuele]

No question. They lack shooters and athleticism. And when your damn guards can’t hit free throws, you’re really fk’ed.

Yeah the Huskers have been playing over their heads for about a month. Awful second half, but not all that surprising. Bounce back in Iowa City.
