Hopefully BU lights them up at half. Sloppy ending to the first half.

This is just a terrible feeling.
Up 8 with 2:30 left in the half and you give up an 11-0 run. Not the mark of a championship team there.
That’s our worst 5 minute stretch of basketball all year. I feel for the garbage can that awaits it’s fate in our locker room.
Thanks, didnt know that
Hold another mirror up to it
Pretty certain there has never been a Belo hater on this site. Go to Ann Arbor, Columbus, Iowa City, etc. and you may find one.
Frazier gets a lot of praise for his D — and rightfully so — but it wasn’t very good the last few minutes of half.
Makes sense. But it would be interesting to watch if that wasn't the case and post players could just obliterate defenders inside the circle. Kofi would rack up the fatalities.

Really just sleep walking through most of the half. Goode showed some great hustle and intensity.
We lack a killer instinct at the moment. A championship team stretched it to 12 before half. And 15-20 shortly after half, effectively putting the game away. Instead, we fell asleep and now have a dogfight on our hands.
They played out of their mind and our seniors especially Williams stunk it up.

Reminds me of the last 10 minutes of that game with Kofi on the bench , but tonight Kofi was on the court.........Podz and Goode need some more tick...
Mental lapses and missed shots. We beat ourselves those last 4 or 5 minutes.
We do struggle against intense ball pressure teams. Should still win by 10+ if we're as good as we think.

I wish Trent would share the ball a little more. He seemed to be forcing some of his shots.

Clearly the lesson is that your children need to wallow in filth until each postgame show.
Common theme last two years unfortunately
Got up what 8 and then a bunch of 1 on 1 slop. No worries, BU will handle it in the locker room. Inside out in the 2nd half and a double digit win.
Ball movement is slow. Lots of dribbling to nowhere. Kofi not being decisive when he gets it. Defense backed off the last 4 minutes - after the bench players went out. Goode, Podz and Payne had great defensive intensity, but zero on offense. Overall - ugh.
Ayo isn’t here to save us at Nebraska this year. Need to pull it together
