I get sick of seeing well coached offenses like NE, NW and Purdue get a half dozen uncontested layups on us off a high pick and roll while our guys stand around drooling because their defensive coaching blows. And that’s the tip of the iceberg.

Hats off to Hoiberg and Nebraska. They schooled us in our house and controlled the game. And it pi$$es me off. Inexcusable.

Defense is a joke, team is soft, and Brad has another loss at home.

I cannot get behind these underwood teams defensive schemes. This is bad for my mental health. We let teams get in rhythm more than any other school. Our philosophy is more based on 'lets hope they miss shots that aren't high percentages' and we bite on way too many pump fakes. I just think don't think we develop guys defensively enough. This Nebraska team isn't terrible but they're not going to beat most good teams.

Basically, different year, same old situation with a loss at home we needed to win. Brad is an excellent coach, but we'll never be a top tier team under him unless we stop losing games we should win.

Go take a nap, chill out for a bit, then come back. He's got a lifetime contract....live with it. Great shot by the kid from Nebraska in an incredibly entertaining game. Wisconsin lost by 30 to those guys, so they should probably shut their program down.

God this fan base is dramatic. That's a ~top 15 Nebraska team that had a real good shooting night. We aren't a defensive team and we knew that. But we weren't up and down or let their runs kill us (like people here were saying whenever it got to like 8). Both teams made plays, they just made the last one. Tomi missed like 4 weeks of any physical activity. He's going to get it back and we will be very good.

We did not deserve to win based on the effort we played with, and we did not

Big Z needs to sit a half and then maybe he will quit chrping and get a T that kills a big play and leads to a 5 pt trip for Neb. Just selfish and stupid ND too away from a great play. Mental and immature plays can't be tolerated that give opponents free points are just stupid and selfish.

After watching the Illini today they will probably have 7-10 Ls this season. I like our Bigs but they kinda soft this team has no Dogs on the roster. Bam Bos is semi Dog but he disappears at times. I thought Tomi had some Dog in him but I'm rethinking that evaluation now sadly.

The talent isn't there on that end IMO.

I lost all hope for possible zone when it wasn't practiced during those buy games

I wouldn't blow the redshirt if I'm him but Rodgers return would be huge. Surprised we're not seeing more of Lee for solely defense possessions

This was a game to pound down low. That didn't happen. Don't even know if we saw Mirk in 2nd half
