[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Courtney Green is officiating OSU/Wisc., don't have to worry about him. Terry Wymer and Terry Oglesby other 2.

 

[BillyC80]

Wanna see our guys step up and punch Nebby in the nose right out of the gate, to show them we will take charge without our leader tonight.

 

[JQRU91]

If we can win convincingly on the road without Baker, that would be a huge step in this team's growth and development.

I'd take a 1-point win, they just lost their leader, I can't be optimistic

 

[JQRU91]

I'd take that, too, but I think we're capable of more.

This game was always going to be won on the boards. That was true before the injury and it's true now. No second chances for Nebraska.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Deflated

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Thank u Harper

 

[RU848789]

Nice start by Harper!!

 

[PatrickRU92]

oh my!

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Thank u Harper

X2

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Myles a different player the past couple weeks

 

[RU848789]

ok, let's not chuck up all 3s now, lol

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Sigh

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Larry Scirotto and Lewis Garrison reffing.

 

[kcg88]

Turnovers are gonna be a problem. Nebraska loves to get out and run.

 

[Caliknight]

Miles Miles Miles...

 

[BillyC80]

Great start and yet we’re down 2. Get it to Myles inside. Maybe try Paul in there with Myles.

 

[ScarletDave]

After we made the early 3s we should have put them in the bank and ran an offense. Good timeout

 

[RU848789]

2 straight shot clock violation - not good

 

[koleszar]

We do realize there's a shot clock? We look completely discombobulated.

 

[Mikemarc]

Wtf are we doing????

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Thank u Mulcahy

 

[BillyC80]

Paul with the nice assist.

 

[bac2therac]

Nebraska isnt good. Baker or no Baker we are better of we bring it mentally

 

[bac2therac]

The defensive effort isn't there

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Got to be kidding me with that 3

 

[RU848789]

How the hell does that trey go in?

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Gold from Carter

 

[Rufaninga]

Softest 3pt brick I have ever seen

 

[RU848789]

The defensive effort isn't there

Agreed - our defensive intensity just isn't there, as they're getting all the loose balls and some rebounds...

 

[kcg88]

Look for the dang ball, guys!

 

[bac2therac]

Terrible job rebounding there

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Young still out of control.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Defense, defensive rebounding, and effort to loose balls has been terribly slow...another ho hum road effort so far. Get it together guys.

 

[BillyC80]

That shot clock violation was a direct result of subbing guys in with 2 seconds on the clock.

 

[RutgHoops]

Down 3 with the ball after our first 8 minutes without Geo on the road is not a bad start.

 

[ScarletDave]

2 3s for Harper

6 points the entire rest of the team with 11 mins to go in the half. SCORE THE BALL !!
