I'm enjoying me some Husker BBall!

Not Yahooo. Huskers play ok 1st half but fall apart last 10 minutes and lose 64-50. 50% on ft's but make only 7 of 19 lay ups. Finding out that Walker is key piece as comes down ill and plays only 8 minutes, none in 2nd half.
And off topic a little but seeing basketball team will play 16 games in 33 days. But Big 10 is all about student/athlete safety/health? And let's not forget the buffoon running the conference wanted to play spring football. Not sure what good it would be right now with unkind weather facing most of the conference foot print. And yes I understand that you can't predict the weather.

Yep, back to the same issues that have plagued the team all year.
I can't believe we're playing Maryland....again, tonight.
 
Huskers get off to decent start but can't keep pace with Terps in 2nd game of back to back. Fall behind by as much as 20 in 2nd half. Make garbage time rally/back door cover and fall 79-71.
 
Huskers fall to Penn St. 86-83. Gave up too many offensive rebounds and stupid turnovers. 11/15 ft's is a bright spot as well as Teddy going for 41 including school record 28 in first half.
 
3-31 conference record in two years.

Its almost inconceivable that a mere three years ago we went 13-5 and finished 4th in the conference. Yet somehow this is all Tim Miles' fault.
 
It's hard for me to watch a coach stand on the sidelines and throw his hands up. Part of me is upset because he lets guys keep playing after throwing 7 bad passes. Part of me says well you can only coach guys so much.
I want this entire team to come back next year because I think they are much better than 1-13 in conference but then I watch them and go no, this is what they are.
I think if Fred Hoiberg is going to play this shoot first, shoot often run up the court then they should also bring in a full court press trap defense. They have the bodies. They don't seem to do very well playing a ball control extend the play clock hold the ball offense. Too many bad passes and turnovers for that.
Just too frustrating watching this....its like watching the football team as well just continue to look horrid.
 
The thing is, they arent better than their record. They are 1-13 or whatever bad run or segment you choose because that is precisely who they are.

It's tough. I watch and think there are some good players out there. There are some guys that can put up points. Then I watch 7 turnovers in a row, horrible offense and think well they are close to making this thing work even with bad play. Oh, that's right, then they struggle to barely beat and then a week later lose to a 7-15 Penn State team.
They are who they are and that's a team that has won what 3 conference games in 2 years.
 
I get what you're saying Justino. There are good parts of this team. But they have little polish. The margins between good and not so good at that level probably isn't much.
 
This year is basically a throw away year. They were off for a month because of COVID hitting the team. Hopefully they'll be mouch improved next year. THey do have that 5 star kid coming in. Can't think of his name off the top of n=my head. So maybe, just maybe, we'll turn the corner later this year.
 
Teddy is gone - and I expect a few more changes before next season. Gotta get more scoring to play in Big 10 (and depth to play D the way Fred wants - and needs - to play).
