Nebby on a 6 game losing streak so we will see which team shows.
Last 5 common opponent Maryland, they lost by 3, we lost by 21. They can be fully capable but I would expect us to win the game.
-
Nebraska has a huge differential in points scored vs points allowed. A low scoring game is not to our advantage. Fortunately, Nebraska can't shoot but we can't either.
We should win the game with rebounding, assuming nobody picks up 2 quick fouls. Rebound those missed 3s and score 75+ points.
The point differential in conference games only.

"High Knees" is one of the refs. Oh boy.
-
Why the fuck are we watching the end of this shit ass game
-
Brick, brick, brick, brick, brick
-
Our offense is abysmal. This game is brutal basketball.
Looks like shirts and skins at lunchtime at the Y.
1-13 from three.
-
KJ looking like a basketball terrorist with his ball security
-
Man why can we not figure out that driving the ball initially will A) get us some great looks against a subpar team, B) Open up the 3 Pt shooting more for us...
No we have to go 2-16 and still can't figure this out. We keep doing this type of game planning, we ARE NOT "built" for a long run this year. You cannot live and die by the 3 if you are having games like this and NOT mixing things up to get scoring going....over what 5 minutes without a FG??
DGL is the ONLY aggressive driver on this team...White is there but comes up short many times. At least DGL gets it in his head I am going to the rim and does!!! Best player for us right now imo.
Wow
-
Gross. This Nebraska team looks like the Lincoln rec league B squad and they're kicking our asses.
-
3-18 from 3 at half. 9-32 from the field. A/T ratio of 0. Opponent A/T ratio of 7.
-
Humrichous with no points and 3 starters with 10 total.
-
I think the concern is they have had plenty of time to prepare a game plan with this roster without a post.
They thought they could roll the balls out and win.
Need to make adjustments.
In bad extended shooting slump from three and may simply just be a mediocre 3 point shooting team.
-
We go as our defense and shooting go. We gave up 40 to a team that can't score and we're not shooting.
-
Underwood is a awful coach
-
Those last two by dunks by Williams to end the first half were inexcusable defense. They fell for the same fake handoff play twice - one of them after coming out of a timeout. Shows you where are heads are at tonight.
-
Brad Underwood basketball.
-
Which Humrichous did we get tonight? The bad one.
-
Underwood is a awful coach
He's Ray Meyer without the sentimentality.
-
The last 5 minutes of the Northwestern game carried over to tonight.
-
Looking like “one of those nights” where nothing goes right. This team is either all the way on or all the way off. Had tons and tons of open looks tonight from guys that can shoot.
-
Should play Dain Danja more....
-
These complete egg layings remind me this team is basically brand new and when we are down players we have all these oddball rotations with guys that haven’t played much together. They are all trying to run the same stuff, but you can really see the lack of cohesion. Having Tomi out really messes up everything we try to be. Morez is a good “change of pace” big but just clogs things up for us in the half court too often.
-
What we need is an ill-timed step back 3.
-
Someone needs to slap the floor on D
-
Finally playing with some 'oomph'
Two point game.
-
30 shots from 3 for 27% with 17 turnovers and still in it.
-
His 1st pts of the half
-
Boswell chucks a step back with 10 seconds left on the shot clock. Fuck him.
-
Great inbounds plays drawn up

What do you mean? They didn't turn it over!
-

Chuckled
-
This team is confounding. Even without Tomi some things just don’t make sense.
-
Keep chucking 3s fellas
-
KJ gets the offensive board and takes it back out to chuck another 3. This is who we are. It's in our DNA. Threes no matter what!

Good job coach
-
Brad Underachiever needs to yell at the white guys more
-

We have elite 3 point shooters Brad says.
What he really means is that we have elite 3 point chuckers.
-
Tomi should demand more NIL money to return
-
This team has been playing some really straight up garbage....they hustle, they rebound, but damn they are DYING by the shot selection in too many games...2 desperation ones after good solid basketball to get into OT. They had no business even getting to that point.
Nebraska has 1 good player, Williams, and a bunch of hacks that 10 years from now will be relishing their only college double figure scoring output in a bar as if they were all Jordans...my god this staff had better get their s*it together, this cannot all be from just having Tomi gone. MAN o MAN.
-
What's our best win? Oregon?
Bad losses to usc, maryland and nebraska,
Hello bubble?

I am not sure the Coach knows what Elite's definition is actually
-
Brad's love affair with Humrichous is disgusting. Dude has hit fuck all the entire game and he's starting OT chucking up more shit. Accept it, Brad. You fumbled that one. 1-2 good games lately doesn't change that.
-
If I were DGL, I think I would ask for a ONE on ONE with the Coach....this kid at least plays balls to the wall at all times, but I mean if we are going to be okay with sloppy turnovers and ill advised offensive sets, well at least do it with an EDGE!
-
23.8% from 3 again sub 30%, just keep chucking, don't drive to create anything Hoiberg knew they wouldn't change so why defend the drives. Just make the 3's more difficult and awkward...it worked.
Oh yea lets make sure we at least get 20 turnovers next game...that will show em.
-

Hello bubble?
Yes it would be Oregon. We hit 16 threes in that game. Have we even hit 16 threes in all the games combined since?

30 for 126 last 4 games
-
We get the Bucknuts up next. Winners of 3 in a row with wins at PU, vs xxxx and at PSU by 19 today.
It was nice of us to get Nebraska a win tho. They needed one.
-
30 for 126 last 4 games
We might sneak into the top 5 nationally in attempts.

Shades of 2022-23

Are we still in the Golden Era?

oregon got destroyed by UCLA last night
Our resume isn't that great
Best win now against Wisconsin?
There's a good chance we could go 4-6 in our last 10
18-13 10-10
-
4 out of the last 6 games lost...
Me thinks the recruiting game might get hurt regardless of $$$ to give if we keep this up.
We were not supposed to be good early due to youth and mix of guys, we were, we all get set up to think it was to be a great year and run, and now it looks as if we are a middle of the road B1G team at risk of losing seeding strength and rightfully dropping out of the rankings.
Why can't we have good things...It's gonna be a good day anyway.

If this is what it's going to be like every year trying to gel a team due to Transfer portal and NIL it's going to be easy to stop caring
-
how do you go 10-42 from 3's and say your fine with it?
my gosh
-
The last 3 games ......
Points in the paint. Opponents 134. Illinois 94.
Points off turnovers. Opponents 68. Illinois 15.
3 point shooting. A dreadful 25-102.
I'm told that we make up for all of the misses with 2nd chance points. Opponents 30. Illinois 38. An 8 point advantage, with 6 of those vs NU.
Our 43 rebound advantage is good enough for a 1-2 record and being outscored 245-227.
Morez spends a lot of time on the bench in the 1st half with his 2 fouls.
It's time to play some 1st half zone and play 40 minutes of basketball.
Nebraska and NU have 3 conference wins apiece.
And this is for you, thePAMan. I swear I watched 2+hours of shitty men's basketball last night but I must have been miswatching men's hoops.

Should I send you the opinion column written by a Dem immigration lawyer who is a state representative ? The Republicans have shown up every day to govern the state. The Dems are, as they say boycotting 🤡🌎 , because they ran somebody not eligible to represent the district and they got caught.

Post it here! Maybe the Dems in Washington should not show up too! Actually, it would be great if the terrorist supporting scum that Tempo likes did not show. Round them up and send them to Gaza!

how do you go 10-42 from 3's and say your fine with it?
my gosh
That cracked me up. How many of the 42 were actually good shots? Maybe 10?
They rebounded a lot of their misses. Great. But if that leads to chucking up another bad three, then what good does that do you?
-
Boswell chucks a step back with 10 seconds left on the shot clock. Fuck him.
This right here is the problem. Awful shot. Knew it was coming from somebody. But, Brad has given them all the green light evidently.
-
There weren’t that many bad ones taken until the end. Nebraska was content to clog the lane and let us shoot threes. We obliged.

And that's how you end up shooting 2-4 from the free shot line in the 2nd half. Not a good recipe for a win.
