Terps visit the Vault as 5.5 favorites

Seems like even the slightest threat of making a 3 makes teams have to account for the outside shooter? That’s all i can think of. Keeps defenses a least a little bit honest.
Keita makes himself useful on offense by screening for guys who can actually make a shot. And, he knows enough to stay out of Walker's way. I'll take that over the off chance that Breidenbach might throw one in every game or two.

On the defensive end, with Walker and Keita in the game, I love the fact that Walker isn't the last line of defense. Helps keep him out of foul trouble. I don't think Walker picked up a single foul today when he and Keita were both in the game.
 
I'm wondering how a twenty win team with a five hundred conf record and a win over purdue would look.

Wtf are you yammering about this time? I don’t bet what? What in the hell could you dream up to be offended about this time?

Seriously wtf is wrong with you? It was a comment that even though there was OT, it still only barely went over.
You seriously need to get checked out.

I’ll apologize but I’m sure you have read the whole thread what my prediction was being a UNDER.. later you laughed at the fact it went over by1/2 point..

Why would you care if the O/U went over? and made a comment about it?

Leave it at this, God know‘s what your intentions were….

Can’t disagree at all. Just observing why they probably don’t see action together much. As much as I appreciate what NU has done this year with Hoiberg, this is the one situation where it doesn’t make sense.

Dude…. You really need to do yourself a favor and get some help. It’s time. This isn’t funny anymore.
 
I see Minny plays at Illy tomorrow, then at Maryland on Wednesday before coming to Lincoln on Saturday. Meanwhile, we have all week off. A chance to climb over .500 in Feb for the first time in what feels like forever. Crowd should be rockin.
 
I think we are going to punch a ticket to the NIT. But had Gary and Bandoumel stayed healthy there's a good chance we could have gone dancing this year. Team has had shit luck with injuries, Walker's 5 game suspension to start the season hurt too.
We lost a potential starter to injury before the season too didn’t we.

Yes, Quaran McPherson I'm not sure if he would have started but he's definitely a rotation guy. Fred really has done an incredible job with the adversity this team has gone through this year, he could have very easily packed it in like Scott did and taken the buy out.

Definitely picked the right game to take the family to this year, that was fun! Really thought that Reese was allowed to absolutely bang all 2nd half with no fouls, but I guess it worked out.
That's the way it looked on TV as well

Maybe. This team is sure playing hard together

Nothing against Gary and Bandoumel, because they are good players, but I think NU's record is as good or better than it would have been if they had stayed healthy. The injuries forced Fred to get creative and do some actual coaching, rather than just give the ball to Griesel, plant Walker on the low post and have the other three guys stand still on the perimeter. They're actually playing high-level basketball now, with good ball movement and movement without the ball, instead of just a my-turn-to-shoot scrimmage.

Frustrating that it took this long, but it does give me some hope for next year and maybe that the Huskers will make some noise in this year's B1G Tournament.

It also helps that Keisei finally got hot. I think he has had 4 or 5 in a row now over 20pts? People HAVE to account for him and understand they cant let him do his thing, takes 1 guy completely out of the defensive plan, that dude cant help on someone else's guy or switch off screens, etc, he will get burned like the dude did last night.

Yes but Tominaga didn't just suddenly get hot. He's thriving because he's now moving without the ball instead of just hoisting threes from the corner or occasionally off a curl at the top of the key. In the stagnant offense, he was very easy to guard. Now he isn't.
 
He almost has to play now just to give other guys a blow. Hard to question what Fred has done these past 3 weeks.
They have played hard, and as a team lately. Wilcher getting the minutes he has the last 2 years has been completely unwarranted. A while back someone on the board was talking up how he plays because he’s such a good defender. He’s always been horrid on D

Announcer said it’s 5 in a row, and the last Husker to do it was Ty Lue

He was brought here for his shooting prowess and he's shooting 32.5% behind the arc. Last year he was at 40% which was solid but last year we were down 20 points when he was making those shots typically

wrong

he was brought here because he had a 5* brother
 
Hell of a win and play at the end by Sam (H). That officiating was one of the worst jobs I’ve seen all year, especially in the second half. They straight up ruined that game for any passive fan.
This may have been mentioned somewhere else, but I just realized the bald ref is Kipp Kissinger who played at Wesleyan in the 90's. Probably doesn't mean anything to a lot of people but I was at Doane around the same time and he was a guy you loved to hate! From Sandy Creek HS, @huskerfan66 might recognize the name.
