Yeah...follow this logic. Let the ball roll to half court to preserve precious time (?), then pass it back and forth on the deep perimeter and chuck a 30-footer with tons of shot clock left. We are so hard to watch, at times. Thought we were better than this. This happens with a coach who is more weak than strong . We play well if mojo happens to be there and the street ball is working. If not, I don't feel at Al confident that answers are coming from bench instruction. Hope we can find a way to win.
Incredibly bad offense. The idiotic way we handle fast breaks is mind numbing. The player with the ball ALWAYS tries to finish through contact rather than a simple pass to your bud for a wide open layup or dunk.
We could very well win this game or get beat by 20. We are so Jekyll and Hyde . Unfortunately mostly Hyde
Yep. Copeland's 25 points is nice, but when he rebounds like he is in junior high, with 3 minutes left...kinda takes the shine off.
Yeah with all the crying in this thread about Miles, the worst thing is how much we just get outworked physically. Guys not exerting themselves when blocking out seems to always cost us.
Kinda sounds like football.
Just another tier 1 loss. Hard to stomach Miles talk about “getting no respect” when he’s what...1-13 against tier 1 teams the last two years?
I would say the loss is absolutely bad when it is a game you need to play with real focus and urgency (at least make it a point to defend well and hit the boards, hard)...and don't. At least Palmer wore yellow shoes.
Look at Maryland and Minnesota. Unranked and in the top half of the BIG. Common denominator? Wins over nebraska.
Terrible 3 pt shooting ....terrible offensive sets and yes out hustled on the glass...loose balls.. and refs didnt help.. perfect recipe for the schit show we saw tonight
We are in a crap situation for getting rid of Miles. Obviously if we dont make the tourney he's gone but we likely only need 6 or 7 more wins to get in the dance. Hopefully then Miles leaves us for greener pastures. I have my doubts though.
We needed a win but Incarnate Word is a bad loss. This is a loss to a ranked team on the road.
This team is going to have to be flawless at home yet again. Margin for error is razor thin with Miles on the road against good teams.
I've resigned to having them on in the other room. I cant watch them close my eyes would just bleed.
Why why why do I EVER get excited about Nebraska BB thinking this year may be different??????
Taken to the woodshed by the Hawkeyes in yet another major sport.
My biggest takeaway from this game is that the Huskers - especially Palmer - HAVE to cut back on the non-productive pissing around at the beginning of so many possessions. I'm frankly amazed they were able to break 80 points considering the amount of time they "Sadlered" away.
Also have to cut down on the stupid reach-in fouls. Watson got one 80 feet from the basket and another about 40 feet from the basket - and what do you know, he ends up in foul trouble. When you don't have much depth, you can't waste fouls that way.

Correct. But I said one week ago. Even being in the discussion is a big deal for Nebraska basketball by historical standards...
It's gonna be a struggle every time they don't shoot well. Which is probably every road game. I also feel like their issues on defense are really starting to effect the offense. You can see how frustrated they are with their inability to do anything with guys like Cook, Murphy, etc. etc. They have no idea what to do. I don't know how this game was as close as it was, actually. It felt like a blowout even though it wasn't.
We never deserved to be in the Top 25. We haven't beaten a good team yet.
I get what you are saying, in one sense, for sure. The problem with this loss is that it illustrates that, in some really critical areas, we still don't get it. A coach with a heavier hand at the wheel would help, IMO.
Incredibly bad defense. I know Iowa’s good but we can’t be giving up 100 points to them.
Come on Miles!
Stop blaming the refs, bB is all about bs, go win and beat a team you were favored over on the road. I would fire Miles tonight, Moos knows he is gone
I can’t even figure out why Iowa is ranked. There is no way they finish the year ranked. Unless the refs keep bailing them out like the stats suggest they have been.
Miles is gonna be Miles. I was never excited about this year. He is who he is a 500 coach
