IcyHot Huskers fall to the Aggies

The Huskers lost last night 57-55 on a last second shot. The first half the Huskers were on fire and dominating the Aggies but it was a different story the second half. The Huskers were cooler than cool (ice cold) in the second half which cost them the game. The Huskers shot 48% from the field with 45% from behind the arc in the first half while A&M shot 39% from the field and 40% from behind the arc. Turnovers were the story of the first half. A&M had 9 turnovers to the Huskers zero. In the second half, the Huskers shot only 25% from the field and 16% from behind the arc. With no threat inside for the Huskers, they struggled when they couldn't hit from the outside. One of A&M's best players, Josh Carter, finally turned it on in the second half and hit the game winning shot as time expired. It was a heart breaker because the Huskers had the lead since 4 minutes into the game. They suffered an eleven minute drought in the second half where they didn't score a field goal. This is the reason the Husker aren't great yet. They can be a good team and most of the time are a good team but if you have no inside threat, you cannot be great. The Huskers have some great shooters but when you are struggling from outside, you have to get some easy buckets inside and when that is not an option, that's when the Huskers collapsed. The Huskers really need to win at least two games if not more in the Big 12 Tournament in order to even be considered for March Madness. I enjoy watch the Huskers play, but it was a hard loss to take last night, especially for the players.
