Just lose these games from the start. Enough of this leading for 30+ minutes only to choke late crap.
This is exactly the kind of game a veteran team should win.

We’ll get another shot at Maryland at home in another month..
Now we need to play better and beat Ioway..

I hope to Christ some mediocre Power 5 program takes a flyer on him and he bolts after this season.
Having a good chuckle at the bile being spewed. Haven't seen any mention of the free throw shooting. Or is that not mentioned because you can't blame it on Miles?
Take it down to 12 then run that play. But they should have got the rebound on defense and then they would have had the lead, the ball, and no shot clock!
Missed free throws and not capitalizing on Maryland turnovers late doomed them tonight. Maryland has some bad possessions late and turned it over a few times and NU just couldn’t make them pay for it. On to Iowa I guess.
Actually when you are down 1 (or more) you shoot early like we did. Tied you play it down. Going early is the correct call. Now I hated the zone defense on a final possession.
Free throw shooting would have been better and there would’ve have been so much bitching tonight
That wave of turnovers early in the second half was a momentum-killer, as were the missed FTs. Really shouldn't have come down to the final minute, but that stretch let Maryland back in it.
God I hate losing to Turgeon* - what a whiny, petulant douche.

I agree but 21 was too early imho. If they had grabbed the defensive rebound they wouldn't have needed any points. Ifs and buts
This is cool, I've never quoted myself before! I asked this on Monday, and the early returns are not good. Even when we win it's going to be frustrating watching bigs brutalize us game in and game out.
I’m afraid this year is starting to look like 2018. Luckily, our Big Ten schedule should allow us to go dancing if we finish .500 in league play. But, with this group would should strive for more.
Unfortunately look at what we have left on the road. Could have certainly used this one when you look at the ones we have left. I don't see a road game Nebraska couldn't potentially find a way to lose.
Miles is a really good “Average” Coach. Nebraska doesn’t have a killer instinct. Reflects the coach. My prediction is we are a bubble team but will get in. Disappointing if I’m right, but I guess In is “in”. I was hoping for a 6th seed or better if they played to their potential. Unfortunately I knew Miles would choke this. Lotta season, I can still be proved wrong.
You made a valid point but Fernando has 6 turnovers too and Cook is a bigger turnover machine so we will see moving forward..
Yeah it's not that this loss or the one at Minnesota are fatal blows - but they are missed opportunities. Gotta cash in these second-half leads, on the road or not.
Iowa, Rutgers, Penn St and Illinois are all not as difficult as Maryland..
Let’s keep losing these winnable road games and see how that impacts selection Sunday.
Tim Miles loses a winnable road game. In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.
Yeah, it was pretty good. I would have had Palmer get the ball instead of Allen. One his size to get a pass off and two it would have attracted the D more and made it more likely Roby is open on the lob. The Terps guys stayed home on their guys because the likely hood you drew a basic full court penetration play for Allen was slim.
Everyone knows this game was a winnable road game. It doesn’t make it less easy to swallow, but the B1G is going to be a grind all year. Home games too.
I will say that Maryland’s two big guys are most likely NBA guys who made some really good plays - in particular the floater for the win.
Copeland was woefully quiet in this one. Is that on the coach? Maybe. But I can’t cry when a team loses a game they were underdogs in on the road. It is basketball. Happens.

15-23 a lot of missed FT to win that game boys..
And a couple of those were the front end of a one-and-one, so you're really leaving two points at the line.
Disappointing loss (again). Even more disappointing that my good luck trash talk failed.
I think its pretty easy to assume, Moose is not a fan of Miles. That extension was..... well, the least possible way of saying "you are STILL my coach."
One of the things all of the announcers and other experts keep talking about is our complete lack of depth. What happens when our seniors leave next year? Is next year to be another "rebuilding" year? I mean, does it really matter if we win a game in the tourney this year just to have to wait through the Tim Miles process again? Moos is a smart guy. I just hope he doesn't let one season of potential success dictate the next 5 years of Nebraska basketball.
Miles ball strikes again, never , never wins a close game.
The month of January could decided Miles fate. 8 games and 5 are against ranked teams.
Winning record in this stretch and we have hope for him.
4-4 record and there will still be a lot of doubt but also still some sunshine pumpers
Losing record and the wheels on the bus fall off.
0-1 to start with and that was against one of the unranked teams. Got a lot of work to do Timmy

The jab in the eye really messed with him. I also had heard that he had an injury but I don't remember for sure what it was. High ankle sprain maybe?
Responing in general. This team is NOT good. They did alright last year in a weak BIG. Luck to be .500 in conference play this year..
I would have to disagree with you whole heartedly..
Not a good team, I take it you haven’t seen the majority of games they’ve played..
So IF he goes 3-5 with 5 games against ranked teams "the wheels on the bus fall off"? Really? Maryland is a good team and their big man is a really bad matchup for us. Palmer didn't set the world on fire and Copeland didn't look 100%. I actually thought we played better with Borchardt in the game than with Cope tonight.
We need more production out of Copeland like we have in the past if we want to finish in the top 4 in the conference..
They won 12 games last year by 10 points or less. But enjoy wallowing in hyperbole.
I've seen all but two. No deprh my friend. Poor FT shooting. No way in hell they go 12-4 again. I also think Creighton would spank them again. Just my opinion brother.
