The Nebraska basketball team lost yet another game on Saturday afternoon and there are some rather key takeways from a game that couldn't come at a worse time.
The rest of the season will be Copeland-less
Not only did the Huskers lose again, they lost one of their best players. After being called for traveling, Isaac Copeland finished his drive to the hoop. After his jump, he landed funny and left the game. It turns out he tore his ACL.
Husker nation thank you for welcoming me with open arms. Unfortunately my time here as a player was cut short due to injury. Keep me in your prayers and keep supporting our team ! Love ❤️ #GBR

James Palmer's game has changed
JPJ had a decent game against Ohio State. What has changed from earlier in the season is the way he's scoring. He used to be a guy who went to the line a lot. Last game, he only had 9 FTAs. On Saturday he had three. Palmer's game changing is one of the reasons the Huskers are struggling.
James Palmer leads all scorers with 8 points at halftime. Despite that effort, Nebraska trails Ohio State 29-24 at halftime. #Huskers pic.twitter.com/S9kbVH61XG
