Nebrasketball @ Purdue

[St. Anger]

Purdue favored by 12. Would love to knock off another ranked team on the road.

 

[Redscarlet]

So would I but we have a matchup nightmare with Purdue skyline.

We also play them at home later in the year.

 

[beerdawg69]

We are gonna need Shavon, and White to be lights out.

 

[maplesyrup95]

What does Nebraska need to do to win at #21 Purdue?

A. Glynn Watson and Shavon Shields need to complement each other
B. Get Purdue's bigs in foul trouble
C. Have stingy defense and get steals
D. Lots of Bangarangs
E. All of the above

 

[Redscarlet]

Purdue knows our weakness and they will pound it down low all day.

 

[Harry Caray]

Purdue is going to be in the Bonus before the first media timeout. They are a terrible matchup for us.

GET A DAMN BIG MAN TIMMY!

 

[tpmcg_rivals137159]

yikes. this could be a long day.

 

[schuele]

Looks like Miles went shopping at Lou Carnesecca's House of Sweaters again.

[Soda Popinski]

We need to play zone D and force them to beat us from the perimeter.

 

[GretnaShawn]

GET A DAMN BIG MAN TIMMY!

Easier said than done.

 

[Redscarlet]

Need to start shooting better if we want to win this game, and Webster been turning the ball over ever since he was elbowed in the nose.

 

[Hoosker Du]

It would help if Webster would turn the turnover machine off. Cripes, is he concussed?

 

[newAD]

Very unfortunate last 60 seconds.

 

[Soda Popinski]

Refs are whistle happy.

 

[Hoosker Du]

Refs are whistle happy.

Yeah, pretty ticky-tack from what I saw.

 

[maplesyrup95]

Jess Settles, former Iowa player who is in the B1G studio, was not kind to Nebraska for the Huskers keys to the 2nd half. "No chance." It's looking a little bleak after that last minute in the 1st half but sheesh someone's butthurt about something and didn't even sugarcoat his words against us.

 

[Redscarlet]

No answer for Hammons.

 

[newAD]

Just afraid we are going to run out of fouls before this is over.

 

[Frostontheegrass]

Way to hang tough.... cut it to 7; no size and refs calling it like a jr. High game.... honestly, can we get a couple of big men, jeez

 

[Shimmer003]

Short of landing one of the "one and done" type talents, good centers are the hardest position to recruit in college basketball. Building a program with no tradition or local talent is tough and takes time.

You have that right and then again Purdue has 2.

 

[Shimmer003]

Purdue has traditionally been better than Nebraska. Nebraska is one of the 5 worst power 5 programs. Purdue has been competitive the last decade or so and has a much better local talent pool to pull from. Remember, Indiana is a great basketball state and has Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Detroit all within a day's drive. That's a huge advantage.

 

[Frostontheegrass]

And they can't miss a three either.... good grief

 

[keithleyb]

Why does Benny Parker get this much playing time? It just makes no sense when he is no threat on the offensive end and let's face it is not as good of defender as certain people think he is.

 

[Redblood23]

Huskers playing hard but Purdue just too big inside plus the 3's are falling also. I give it to N though, there's not much quit in them..

 

[Redscarlet]

Purdue is one of the top 3 or 4 Basketball powers in the Big 10 all time.

 

[Redscarlet]

No answer for Hammons.

Do I need to say it again.

 

[Frostontheegrass]

F ing sickening watching their big men trash us... same sh@t different year... always a weak link somewhere

 

[schuele]

Waited too long to go to the zone. Not saying the Huskers would have won had Miles gone to it sooner, but I think it would have at least inconvenienced Purdue's big men.

 

[Frostontheegrass]

Really????? A three with under a minute....mmmmkay Purdue

 

[Redscarlet]

No doubt we will see more zone the next time we play them in Lincoln.

I've been asking this all year. He's zero threat on offense- he's a good "on the ball" defender out front but anyone without the ball can take him inside or catch and shoot over the top of him. He's good at exactly one thing and that shouldn't be enough to garner major minutes. I just saw the last 12 minutes or so of the game but Webster and Watson should take most of the minutes it appears to me.

 

[newAD]

Seven points and five assists.
