The one thing we couldn't do was let them get any sort of lead at the end of the half. Ref blows the kid shoving gene, then we give up a last second 3 because of **** shot selection.

Can't catch a break

Guys im really starting to question pike.

1) Issa comes out and harper replaces him and we go on an 11-0 run, this should not surprise people. Wake the f up pike.

2) we inbound with 54 seconds after a timeout and we dont even attempt to go for a 2 for 1, no urgency, wake up pike. Wake the **** up

Not sure but did we have a 30 sec to we could used there

Great comeback, but wtf was Harper thinking, taking that shot with 5 seconds left? Should only be down two. 13 friggin TOs also. But in the game.

Caleb did same thing about a week ago. Last shot of half and shoots with like 13 seconds on clock. The other team did miss though.

Also the pushoff on Omoruyi was clear as day. We cannot get a ****ing break from the refs this year.
That one is a catch 22... it is a foul but it's never called unless you sell it. But if you really sell it, it looks like you're flopping and you don't get the call. They should start calling pushoffs without guys having to act.

Let me say again because I am so pissed...end half plays go to coaching...that was a huge swing...selling for 3 with 4 seconds is pathetic
Lol yea that was pikes fault there.

Free throw shooting (7-7) is the reason we're still in it. So there's that. Shooting otherwise has been poor and the turnovers are absolutely brutal.

Harper and Mathis run the break better than anyone we've had in a decade.

BIG BIG BIG final 2 minutes here. Can't allow the 8-0 run we've done before halftime in a few other games.
Fail ... was only a 7-0 run ... PROGRESS!!!!

Geo..3 pts no rebounds no assists 3 turnovers.
Mac 2pt on 1 for 1 and 5 mins, carter similar stats.
Doesn't somebody keep stats on the bench? I know it gets crazy..but come on.

This thread is proof of the inconsistency Pikiell has to deal with. Other than a few guys who are consistently not producing, who the hell knows who will show up on any given night or even between any two timeouts

Sadly expecting a "signature" 10-2 run allowed to open the half. We'll claw back to make it 7 or 8 later on in the half, and they'll hit an open 3 to basically ice it.

13 turnovers huge stat

Baker has only 2 shots

Nebby 5-9 from 3..I think they are normally 36%

7-7 at line shows you how making free throws keeps you in game

2nd half to do list:

1. Take care of the freaking ball. I’ve never seen such carelessness with the ball. 13 TOs in 20 minutes is absolutely disgusting
2. Clamp down on Copeland. He killed us at the RAC last year too.
3. Feed the post, especially Myles. Nebraska doesn’t really have much size inside.
4. Can somebody, anybody, actually get hot from three? I’m so sick of seeing 4-18 stat lines on 3-point FGs.

But that's his job as a coach and his assistants. Its in game coaching and decision making. And adjustments.

In a way, the defense we saw in the 1st half is a preview of what you need to be a good team... when a team is 5-9 from three and you can still suffocate them for long stretches, that's what you will eventually need to beat teams that regularly shoot the lights out

slick move by Palmer getting his arm caught on Harper as Harper's trying to slide with him

Nebraska is tied for 8th, we're tied for 11th.. Huskers have 12 games left and maybe 5 wins.. brutal end of season.. which means if they win this and 5 more they will have 19 wins and 12 losses before the Big Ten Tourney (where they will search for their 20th win) and will likely be NIT material.. having lost something like 5 of the last 6 or 7.

While likely an exercise in futility.. we have maybe 6 very probable losses left.. and maybe 7 games we could win.. so we win this we are a 500 team at 9-9 and could end up 17-16... that's a win on the season for us.. but the guys have to dig down and win this one. hmm.. my math seems off...
