MBB @ Nebraska Game Thread, BTN

Neb playing well on both ends

Get it to single digits for half and adjust

Whoever posted the thread about if we win tonight we move up in rankings should have a minimum 1 year ban.

Oh how I hate playing at hillbilly Nebraska. Much like going to Iowa the husks best players are holding whistles.

We're gonna need another 7 minutes of perfection to open the second half or Nebrasketball is finally gonna beat us.

Great hustle, Charles.

Matthews seems to be the one guy really competing - but he can't shoot, either.

Hopefully this will be a tale of two halves like last game. Unfortunately I have work in the morning so I won't be seeing the "good" half.

Law of averages?

Playing like a white collar team. 

Rahk with a little embellishment!

Lots of iso and half ass two man game

That was a brutal last 10.

Michigan came out flat as Kate Moss.

Will not cut it in the last 11 mins. Lucky to be down only 11.

FG in 11 minutes??? Come on......

32-21 Nebraska.  Half

WTF was that half? Couldn't have looked worse. 1 FG in the last 11 minutes? That's almost impossible.

One fg over the last 11 minutes? Holy shit

1 field goal in 11 minutes. 

 

That is practically impossible to turn into a win. 

Michigan played atrociously...and are down 11 on the road.  This feels like a game where Nebraska wilts in the second half and Michigan pulls it out.

Did we score at all after the 10 minute mark?

Joke of a half. Nice job playing mo all 20 minutes and giving teske 0 when they were scoring at the rim the entire first half. Holy shit

0 bench points

Wagner playing like trash and giving up layups. JB says play him more minutes than Teske.

Only saving grace is that they might get into foul trouble in 2nd half

N 32-21 at half. Awful M offense, sloppy with lots of turnovers. Few touches for Moe. Good D by Nebraska, and the crowd is really into it.

That cheerleader tho

1 field goal over final 11 minutes of the half. Down 11 points to a team that prior to today we had never trailed by even two+ possessions since they joined the conference. 

to come back on the road in this one.

They had the crowd behind them last game to fuel the comeback.

This is going to be a lot harder, especially if Wagner doesn't get involved.

Another game with a dismal first half.

Defense is not the main problem although it wasn't great. We shot 8 for 25 as a team. You can't beat anyone with that percentage.

Hope they rest up at halftime because they look tired.  Hard to come back with the 3-ball if they don't have their legs.

Not sure we could have played worse. Clean it up at half, can get back in this.

M has some open looks but hasn’t pulled the trigger. Pump fakes and Nebraska is doing a really good job closing out.

This is the first game I’ve seen a team get out in transition and hurt M.

....will get you beat every time. 

not sure if everyone knows yet but we had 1 FG over the last 11 mins. 

Nebraska hasn’t beaten Michigan in like 55 years (literally), so I guess they’re due???

Road games are so tough against any team with a pulse. Not a great half obviously, but that’s probably one of Nebraska’s better halves of basketball and you have to assume we’ll at least make a few more shots in the second half, but someone needs to spark something. Matthews looked good but everyone else hasn’t shown up yet.

playing well. Aggressive and fast.
