Game Thread Nebraska @ Indiana [Wednesday, February 21 7:30pm BTN]

[SlumpBuster]

Fred is showing what he was at ISU. He took over the roster build & built the team around high IQ basketball players who can shoot rather than star ranking
The portal adds this yr were absolute HRs. Now that he’s showing results AND has gotten guys to professional careers, it’s only going to get easier for him to land whoever he sees fit thru the portal.
God it’s nice to see a team where every single guy on the floor can shoot & isnt dead weight

I think every player on 8-deep rotation has "won" us a game at this point.

Last night was a classic example. Mast is off, Wilcher is off, Tominaga gets assaulted possibly sexually... So JLaw steps up and delivers despite having some tough moments to start the year.

To me that's what makes a team really good. When it's not the same guy that wins it for you every night.

Seriously fun to watch.

Yes, this. A different guy has stepped up and been the difference in pretty much every “big” win this year.

That overturn on the out of bounds call should trigger an FBI investigation into this shithole conference. There was zero way that guy had an angle to make that call that the guy standing right there didn’t have.

The same ref, Tom Eades, had a few different questionable calls that benefited Indiana last night.

Don't forget when he pulled this stunt.

I don't know how it's even possible that IU has been on this run of mostly shit for as long as they have been

Said this for a few years Indiana Basketball 🤝 Nebraska Football

Last night was a Quad 2 win.
our remaining game are currently Q2, Q1, Q3, Q2.
All games "should" be favorable to win.
Almost impossible for us not to make the tourney.
Fuck it, I can even see a bye in the B1G

BOOM! Fred for Mayor!

Seriously how many Indiana fans last night were probably wondering if they could trade coaches? Woodson is hopeless.

Indiana is probably one of the best matchups for us you could draw up on paper. It doesn't matter where that game is played, we're beating them.

Our defense takes away the paint and is willing to give up 3's (rank 347th out of 362 teams in opponent 3 point attempts. We really don't defend the 3 at all).

Indiana ranks 351st in three point attempts per game. We're letting them take shots that they're coached to not take.

When that happens, Indiana starts to malfunction like they did last night and in Lincoln. Implosion is imminent.

Edit: I should also add that Indiana isn't much better than us at defending the 3. They rank 323rd in opponent 3 point attempts. Yet our offense is made specifically for the 3 point shot. It's literally the perfect matchup.

I’m just so tired of watching Big Ten basketball refs. They either clearly have an agenda in favor of certain teams or they’re naturally awful. Either of those things means they shouldn’t be out there.

Now, I will say they were fine until that first part of the second half. But dude, that stretch was terrible and they tried their best to let Indiana back into it.

Just don't fuck up the Q3. Worse than 2-2 s a disaster but great opportunity to sail into the conference tourney shoring up the weaker part of your resume in road wins

If you love schadenfreude then read this article. It really reads like something that would be written about one of Nebraska's teams (FB or hoops) over the last 10 yrs. Thank god this is not us anymore.

That 1 steal was HUGE

His free throws were pretty big too. He's been struggling this year, but he was nails and kept the lead in double digits.

If you're referring to this, you are correct. They somehow recorded it as a rebound, though.
