Husker Hoops Game #21: Nebraska at Colorado Open Game Thread

we lost to Iowa State. See if Doc can keep the team focused when we aren’t playing one of the league bigwigs

this is another game that isn’t shown outside Nebraska – Colorado.

But then again, why would it be?

are in OT…hope this gets over soon

although Colorado was good at the start of the decade, and we were really, really, really bad

NU board

2-0 NU

Balham gets called for the foul

for this game?

still 2-0 NU

3 pointer!

5-0 NU

FTs coming after first Media TO

5-2 NU

Harley’s first FT bounces all over the place and goes in!…then hits the other

ugly pass gets taken away and dunked…

7-4 NU

Answers with a 3!

Still, we need to drive the basket!

ends with a missed Velander 3

13-6 NU

score bar is behind – normally that’s because the live stats feed is slow.

And they’re doing a good job of moving the ball on the perimeter…

NU up 13-9.

We’re hitting 3s, but being sloppy with the ball.
Forcing turnovers and bad shots, not getting killed by rebounding

Feel like we should be up more than 4 right now

McCray PLAYS!

and it’s 15-13 NU

but we don’t get back on D

gets the points and the foul

CU answers with a 3…

the empty seats look like Colorado fans…

NU up 2 at under-8 TO

we should be beating the snot out of these guys.

Harley called for the charge under the basket… Probably shouldn’t have been one

turnovers so far this half.

This team is infuriating

after CU ties it on the set play

and an easy bucket

have stopped updating – score?

with the 3

Shouldn’t have taken that shot

His playing time needs to be cut down

there’s internet radio.

just in time for a Velander turnover.

NU somehow up 2, or up only 2, depending on how you look at it

we’re ahead!

right?

whatever hippie that was running the live stats got off break, woke up, or ran out of doritos.

We are shooting quite well, when we get shots off…so I’m not sure if we’re due for the big drought or not

my brains hurt. too many late nights. working on computer systems, lots of off hour work lately. a few trips coming up to Wisconsin.

but, hey,, it’s work.

we scored. they turned over.

Every possession

occurred to me that Chris Balham’s name sounds just like what a guy from New Orleans told me when I asked how they cook their shrimp.

we’re still ahead.

28-27 after CU scores.

we’re trying very hard to lose

called for the charge

!!!! 28-27, 15:55 to go.

And stop TURNING THE BALL OVER!!!

30-28 CU

0-4 this half.

we’ll get the scoring drought out of the way early this half.

12:28 left.

hits a 3!

And its 33-30 NU

I’m really behind, aren’t I?

Velander start shooting well, that would be good.

Hell, anyone I guess.

thinks Velander was fouled on the 3

Ade scores and draws the foul…

extend the lead……

He plays! He scores! NU up 7!

Timeout – 9:03 left.

39-32 – Doc really does a good job after time outs.

called for the foul…and Colorado is hitting FTs…

39-34 NU

Another Turnover!

they score a three – 39-36 now.

6:56 left.

say they are 2,000 fans there.

need points!

by CU – 41-37 Nebraska – 6:11 left.

starting the second half with a six minute scoring drought, we’re now 7-17. that’s not bad.

Puts us up 9!

maybe CU will go away now!?

46-39 Nebraska.

They’re shooting 5-15 second half.

for the SEVENTEENTH time…I think that’s the season high in turnovers

and left him too open to score that

46-41 Nebraska.

Gets the defensive board deep inside! Way to hustle, little man!

still giving us problems…

but before his shot…at least he heads to the line

Harley hits the first. 47-41 nebraska

Hits the first FT

making those FT’s at the end of the game.

NU up 5

NU up 4, 41.3 to go

keep the quick fouls from happening

before Anderson is fouled

Fortunately, Anderson not called for the block he easily could have been called for

23.8 left, CU scores, 53-50.

11-18 from the FT line.

CU hits a 3

what’s happening the dude running stats has passed out again.

Now, we can’t hit FTs, and Colorado can’t miss.

NU up 1, 15.3 to go. I imagine CU will foul as soon as the ball gets across half court

and is headed to the line…he needs to hit both

hit one,

Must play D out of this FT

2.6 to go, Sek shooting 2

Doc calls time

Force CU to take a 3 JUST to tie…

come on, for crying out loud.

13-23 FT’s now.

misses, but CU can’t hit a shot

 i guess it’s a win.

that doesn’t completely suck.

NU somehow holds on, despite 18 turnovers…

We win 2 consecutive road games in league for the second time since 1999, and manage to somehow be at 4-4 in league (although we could easily be 6-2)

Why does that happen in every game?

Nice in by the team.
