Hoiskers are 6.5 point dogs visiting the Buckeyes

I wouldn't be able to take it. I would have run out on the court after the travel, taken the ball from the ref, and kicked it into the stands.

Me neither. If I had to do these pressers after games played on a conference darling’s home court, I would just set up a wire transfer beforehand to pay my fine.

One OSU player loses his mind at a critical time and spikes the ball - and they give him a pass. Another is too much of a brain-dead dipshit to know the inbounds rules, and they give him a pass. Great job, B1G.

Perhaps. But you gotta hit shots, including your free throws. And our guys just didn’t when they needed to and they did.

Nebraska scored a combined 111 points against Minnesota and Michigan... and they scored 114 in this game alone. This one was not about missing shots

Remember when our defensive metrics ranked inside the top 10 nationally?

I do

O well

We aren’t NExt year U for nothing

Perhaps we will surprise in the conf tourney (lol)

Also - all you B1G lovers deserve this

Enjoy the money, feckless dopes

Bobby Knight would have in the same circumstances

The Big Ten will probably dust off this meaningless, platitude-filled apology, make a few tweaks, and send it out to the media today:

You got hosed and we feel really bad about it.

 

[Baxter48]

Should have gone much further. Its the only way you draw attention to it outside nebraska. People in general hate bad officiating and get it out there and make the big ten answer for it.

As long as the official protect the big 2 nothing will change, and we thought Texas got favored by the officials

I totally realize and support UNL's decision to go to the BIG. Monetarily, academically and long term future it is a 50-100 year decision that needed to be made when we had the opportunity. A lot of big time academic institutions would kill to have that invitation. Unfortunately we tend to be looked at like the dirt farmers to the west in the plains and the red-haired step child by a lot of the long time conference members to our east with much larger alumni and population bases. This perception filters down to many of the officiating crews we have to deal with and it hasn't changed in over a decade. We see it constantly in the athletic events we all watch including last nights basketball game against "The Ohio State". Maybe we can get it to change over time by somehow earning their respect. We can only hope.

It's less about Nebraska than it is about the Big Ten always protecting its darlings. That's why I despised the Blowhard Ten long before it expanded.

Like you, I understand the decision to join. But NU being part of the Big Ten never made me hate this self-important band of thieves any less than I always had.

Nobody misses a clutch shot vs this Neb team. I havent watched a lot of Husker Basketball but every team seems to shoot 85% when they matter most.

The banked in 3 in the second OT from way outside the circle is proof that we're cursed.....

 

[cubsker]

Bobby Knight would have in the same circumstances

He would never need to. I watch tons of college basketball games and the only team where the rules consistently don't apply is nebraska's opponent.

Brice could have won the game by making a free throw from what I think was in regulation. It’s when they missed is my point. Just because they scored over 100 doesn’t mean they didn’t have their chance to win. They did, and they blew it on a few occasions. Osu, otoh, made shots when they had to. Our guys didn’t. They were more clutch. But I won’t disagree on the officiating however. We did again get hosed there. Multiple times.

Respect is earned. Nebraska needs to start winning even if the big bad refs are against us.
