Game Thread Nebrasketball Game #31 - Cockeye: Sunday, March 9 11:30am FOX

It’s actually kinda nuts we just keep going back to the Brice Williams ball screen at the top of the key and Cockeye just hedges the shit out of it and nobody else does anything

At least Lovett pounded Parko from Cockeye in wrestling last night.

Team sucks, glad it’s over. Very disappointing season.

It's gonna be worse next season. Unless we miraculously get several really good players in the portal, we are gonna be bad.

I’m halfway hoping that the refs make a couple more really bad calls at home just to see our home crowd absolutely lose their shit on the refs just to get them (the fans) off their seats?

I’ve come to the point that I’ve seen enough loser ball in my life that if Dannen said we are canceling basketball tomorrow, I would 100% be on board and in favor of it.

I know we don't have many offensive options to go to, but to say our coaching has made almost no good adjustments is an understatement.

Look the staff obviously knows more about basketball than I ever will but a few things:

1. Our core defensive principal is doubling when they drive baseline and then we have guys come help/swat when they catch the ball at the top of the post. Cockeye is making an absolute killing catching it getting doubled/harassed calmly skip passing to the corner to a catch and shoot type guy who buries threes. Seems like we should just stick to their shooters and make them beat us 1-1 and deny the catch and shoot guys from catching and shooting

2. They are hedging the hell out of our ball screen action when Brice is the ball handler. Need to initiate with someone else or have another playmaker make the play when we get 4 on 3 (we don’t have this on the roster)

Fucking embarrassing.

 

[Seaofred92]

Gary closing out hand down on the best shooter while simultaneously over closing on his off hand so he gets to dribble into a three to his right the possession after over helping and giving up a 3 to the same guy

Love his hustle at times but not exactly a “blackshirt”

Our roster is really lacking. But opposing coaching staffs have completely figured us out on both ends. Our high energy scrambling defense that was looking good the first half of the season, has been neutered. Our offense was mostly the wheel offense with a big as the pivot at the top of the key. Now it is even more sluggish - just no good actions creating looks. We only have two players who can create their own looks, though, and as I said, opposing coaching staffs have figured out how to beat us with these limitations.

I know people are debating about how much money we are spending on this program, but whatever it is, it’s too much. The return on investment is maybe the worst in P4 sports.

Atrocious take

Totally thought this game was a 1 pm tip off. Looks like my time was much better spent this morning. Actually fine with this abortion of a team being done.

 

[Seaofred92]

Make the push

 

[DrinkItIn]

LOL...crowd gets back into it and Brice trips. What a pathetic way to end the season. Essegian and Brice were both awful.

Yup…… we get a little momentum and we manage to find a way to lose the momentum…..

 

[Juro]

Is the Hoiberg experiment done yet?

I feel like this end of the season is pretty much going to be Nebraska going forward unless there is a change.

 

[The Other Dave]

+1300 for the comeback win. I’ll piss away a few bucks on that
