[Husker] What is with the Husker basketball team?

[Sue Smith]

I went to the game and was embarrassed to be a Husker fan.  NU had 17 turnovers in the first half and 11 points.  Johnny Mathis for Creighton outscored the entire NU team with 14 points at half.  This is a banged up Creighton team and they clobbered us.  How much more time are we suppose to give Collier?

  That was the worst half of basketball that I have seen ANYONE play in a long
time. I lost count of the turnovers, but I'm betting that they outnumber
points scored. Big game jitters? Not ready for the CU's second string?
What is going on?

The Huskers look tentative, unsure of where to go or what to do with the
ball. The lightest bit of a press and Walker and Dourisseau (sp?) lose the
ball. The basic fundamental aspects of the game are shockingly lacking for
NU. This level of preparedness is astonishingly low and if they can't rise
to play a injury-riddled CU, I don't hold much hope for the rest of the
season. Collier said that he's getting the newcomers to the team on board
with the system and that was key to this game. What's key is that they come
out and play. They are lost, with and without the ball.

There was one brief moment after a timeout late in the half where I saw
Wilkinson come out fired up and they pounded the paint, but it only resulted
in a foul against CU.

Egad!!!!
