What happened with the T on the bench? I was driving home when it happened.

Miles was pleading his case because the refs won't call a foul when Nebraska takes it inside. Miles wasn't out of control.

Who is the douchebag doing color? He just said "Nebraska doesn't have the volume of shooters needed to hang with Maryland," as we were going up by 3.

Well we don't really but with Maryland extending their zone with their big guys we've been able to penetrate and get buckets in the paint. So far so good. That was a HUGE non-rebound by McVeigh. Potentially a 5 pt turn. Dang it.

This team will be pretty solid if they get any size that isnt just taking up space....1-2 big men would be huge

Outside of White we don't have good outside shooters..... That's my point.

Your point isn't valid. It doesn't matter if they have NBA Hall of Famers on their team. You don't say that ******** when Maryland is down by 3, you say it when Maryland is winning going away.

Why does Shavon insist on jacking up 3s that everyone knows he can't make? Jacobson is playing far beyond his years tonight

I understand you're not supposed to penalize players for being bigger but Nebraska is getting mauled everytime we go into the paint and there are no calls. We bump up against one of their 8 7 footers we get called. I don't get it.

We HAVE to take every open 3 we get. Period. Its basically our only chance to beat these guys now that they've pulled out of that extended zone.

The game has become all about point guards, but you still need a couple guys taller than 6'7" who can play. Amazing that NU has been competitive.

Unfortunately you are right. The chances of them missing from the paint or not going to the line isn't very good now

Serious brain fart by Miles leaving Watson on the bench in the closing minutes. It was essentially playin 4 on 5 on offense. But that's why he makes the big bucks!

Hang with Maryland the entire game, and than go full moron during the most important possession of the game.
? Full moron? Had our best 3 pt shooter with the shot clock winding down and he tried to tie the game. Whatcha gonna do. IF it had gone its a tie game.

Great effort against maybe one of the most talented teams in the country. I didn't think we could keep it within 15.

I'm not arguing with you, but was he able to play after that spill he took? Just wondering if that was the reason?

Hard to watch. Looked like White thought there was 1.1 left on the shot clock, rather than 11. Yowza. I know he's a good perimeter shooter, but that's not a 'good look'. Dang. Good effort against #4. Need a big, still!!

We aren't far away from being a really good team. We desperately need some posts to help out Jacobson who is really coming along and shooters to help Andrew, which we will get next year with Anton Gill. Where was Ed tonight?

He was pretty gimpy the next time down the floor. Dunno. He didn't do much while he was in there and threw up a prayer on one shot that Miles couldn't have liked.
