Game Thread: Nebraska @ Minnesota

[Brasky]

Minny on a 7 game win streak looking for a tourney bid.

Eichorst's beady eyes are gazing on Tim directly behind the bench. Literally.

Jacobsen hit with a personal, bench hit with a tech. Eichorst currently:

Wonder if 'ol Lue will come home

Only took over 22 minutes to shoot a free throw

If they can cut the lead to 10 here they may only lose by 15

 

[Skerpokes]

I give up. I don't care anymore

God hates Nebraska

Tim has lost the team.

The last 3 games have been the worst 3 games of the season......each one being worse than the one before.

All 3 worse than our loss to Garden Weber.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

That was seriously a pathetic effort by Nebraska.

Piss poor effort.

And then at the end, I was sitting behind the Nebraska bench, and Miles turns around and points at the bench and tells a player to go in. Chewmonga stands up and runs over and says "me?" Miles goes, "fuck no, why would I put you back in the game....Nick Fuller get in there!"

What a circus.

The end is near. Team has obviously given up. Hope we get someone good. I hope Tim showed potential candidates you can get some decent recruits in here.

Don't like that at all. Seems to me that if you are a successful NBA coach, you fail miserably in college and visa versa. Of course there are the very rare exceptions.

Miles is a joke. What was his tweet at halftime?

He quit tweeting earlier this year in attempt to save his job.

Looks like he's gonna have to do more than that. Like probably win 3 or 4 in a row in the B1G tourney.

the espenis summary even had quotes from players saying they have no idea what to do out there and there is no leadership.

SLUMPING HUSKERS

With only two upperclassmen receiving regular playing time, the Huskers have been going through plenty of growing pains.

"Their confidence, their sense of history goes about as long as their timeline on Twitter," Miles said. "It's one of those things that you have to constantly manage. There's no doubt that when one thing goes wrong, there's kind of a feeling. I didn't see one strong voice out there trying to steady the ship."

Miles, perhaps realizing he's at a football school, said his team needs a "quarterback" to emerge on the court as a leader.

"We don't understand what's going on right now," sophomore Ed Morrow Jr. said, "and I think we're getting a little bit out of ourselves."

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I think Morrow is saying that they're dumbfounded by how all of a sudden they just can't put anything together.

I don't think he's saying that they don't know how to play basketball.

Miles has obvious trust issues between himself and his players.

You can see the way he talks to them when they come off the floor. He'll treat them like they're retarded. You watch a guy like Izzo, he is rough on his guys, but he doesn't bury them in the dirt like that.

I don't like when the camera gets up close on Miles and I read his lips saying "what the fuck is wrong with you, you worthless piece of shit?"

I've seen it too many times. With that said, if he wins the B1G tourney he's alright
