Game Thread: Nebrasketball @ St. John's -- 5:30 CST on FS1

[Jack_John_Mark]

We get a nice little early test to give us an idea of what this team might be capable of.

Opened as 9 point dogs. St. John's don't mess around.

Gonna be a real tough one on the road.

Nebraska needs to win this game. Time to start acting like a team that is tournament bound and those teams find a way to win games like these on the road.

Yep.

Time to fucking grow up and show the investment in the Nebrasketball program is paying dividends.
Big 10 tourney teams don't lose these games. St John's is middle of the pack Big East at best. They literally play in an arena the size of a high school gym.
Rutgers beat them in exhibition 10 days ago.

2013/2014 - (20-13) First Round loss NIT.
2014/2015 - (21-12) First Round loss NCAA Tournament
2015/2016 - (8-24)
2016/2017 - (14-19)

There are no 'early game' excuses here. It's game 5.
Time for sMiles to start winning or GTFO.

Let's go university of nebraska-lincoln Cornhuskers

St. John's has a couple guys that are flat out game changers.

We're gonna have to get better on defense to stay in this one. It might get ugly quickly.

Pretty much what I expected so far.

19-13 St John's

Miles needs to teach his players how to sell fouls like that

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Copeland still can't make 3's.

The first ever game I watched Tim miles coach Nebraska basketball team. he ran halfway out in middle of the court and yelled "geta fucking rebound"and we still can't get a gawd damn rebound to save our life.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

So, my early concerns are that we don't really have that one guy who stands out as the leader on the floor.

I thought Glynn would be that guy. Might just take him a few games.

This is the arena we're playing in. It's little more than a high school gym.
Compare that to the investment in Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Huskers with 6 turnovers already

 

[HuskerPower52]

Sloppy

 

[Red_Alert]

Wide open 3 for St John's. Nebraska player stood there 4 feet away and watched. Didn't even have his hands up.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Yeah Joe I think you're right it'll take Glenn a few games to get hot but I think he will. 4/5 feild goals. Lame ass goal tending. Just slop slop slop

WTF is going on. If I’m Miles I’m ripping assholes at halftime. No reason we should be out phyisicalled and out rebounded tonight.

Oh and not fucking turning the ball over fucking helps. I’m no expert but just a thought
