How in the F do we not have anything to go to end of game SLOB and BLOBS? How do we know that they have fouls to give and we are heaving it in the back court wasting 5 seconds. We get another crack and we run jackshit and give it to Will in the corner doubled. WTF!
Could’ve used Coleman and his 180 three he hit the other night.

That’s the worst loss of the Underwood “good team” era. That Nebraska team looks like a bunch of rec league IMPE ballers. No excuse to lose this game with the talent we have.

Embarrassing. Never lead the entire game

Brice Williams is solid and so is Juwan Gary. Essegian not bad either. Otherwise, the rest of them are rec leaguers

I'll say it.......that was a horrendously coached game. Why the hell did we pull DGL for Humrichhous at the end of regulation? And why was Humrichhous in at the beginning of OT when the coaches knew he was way off tonight? Only to throw up 2 bricks at the beginning of OT?

I would have won this game as coach. You have to coach the hot hand or pull the hand that doesn't have it sometimes.

A "one trick pony" only works if the one trick they have is highly specialized and effective in a very specific situation or context; essentially, if their single skill is exceptionally good at what it does, even if it can't be applied broadly to different scenarios.

Key points about a "one trick pony":
  • Limited range: They excel in only one area, making them potentially vulnerable when faced with situations requiring diverse skills.

  • High proficiency: While narrow, their single skill is usually mastered to a very high level.

  • Situational advantage: Their one trick might be extremely valuable in a specific context, but less useful in others.

Do we need to revisit how this team almost lost to Washington at full strength? That gift is the only thing keeping us from being funnier than Indiana right now.

We could get a lot healthier and better, but it will be practically impossible for Rez to play his game and also keep us competitive in the B18 with no backup.

It's nice that Tomi didn't break his ankle in November, because we had a few fun weeks in there with him. But this won't work.. can't work without a mathematical coup by our shooting.

The disappointing thing is that this team is regressing as the B10 season unfolds. I know Tomi is out, but there is still no excuse for questionable coaching moves and at best intermittent effort by the players. This team is a complete mess right now, and if things don't improve greatly they are headed for the NCAA bubble and a first round exit. Can BU and staff right the ship? I sure hope so.

This team is hard to watch. I think watching Top Gun for the 100th time on Paramount is more enjoyable to watch for me. And I hate Tom Cruise!

Wow... just wow. At least I don't have to care the rest of the way, not like the team does - we'll go .500, if we're lucky. It's been said before and I've noted as well, but never as prominently as tonight, Brad is a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE in-game coach... I hate speaking in superlatives, but have we ever had anyone worse?

Turnovers, chucking up 3's - NO OFFENSE, senseless rotation, but don't worry Brad will tell us in the presser, this one's on me. We'll get things cleaned up. Then we'll see it all over again within 2 weeks tops.

It is truly a Jekyll and Hyde team. Some games IL looks like a Final Four team. Other games looks like tonight.

I can't figure it out. It appears that BU can't figure it out either.

We’re a really really bad team. We have lost to USC, Northwestern, blown out by Maryland & now lost to Nebraska. It’s time to give up and get excited for football in 7 months.

I'm done watching this team live. I'll tape the games and if we win I'll probably watch but not really enjoying following this team anymore. So many facets of the game are so poorly executed and coached, so many mind numbing turnovers, so poor a level of shot making, so many repeated mistakes. We are so far from an elite team and not having Ivisic is not an acceptable excuse. Why does Ben get anything more than 10 spot minutes a game is beyond me. Not even Booth is any softer out there than him and when he is not making his shot( which is mot of the time) he provides nothing of value. Why was Dra pulled and Ben put in instead- makes no sense.

Plus the elite shooter that he is, missed a free throw in regulation. DDGL was still aggressively driving and taking shots that made sense.

One of these things is not like the others , .... sorry Ben has to go ( back up 3rd big - slightly better than Booth)
Give Riley & DGL more minutes (take some of KB'd minutes)

Ben has to produce more than 1 out of 5 games.

Ugly by all

I agree with whoever said time to reset my expectations. I don't think the season is lost but I don't think we will surpass last year's if the current trajectory continues. However I do feel underwood always has had an atrocious loss where it gets him energized and we see a nice run arise from it. Am I being too hopeful
