Hoiskers are 6.5 point dogs visiting the Buckeyes

[big red22]

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)

Enjoy the money, feckless dopes

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.

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.

The ball slam after the foul was an obvious another player had to catch h the ball coming down why that wasn’t a Technical, it amazes me why not one official didn’t call that.

Goes both ways, if the calls on the court were made correctly Nebraska wins the game instead.

If it’s any consolation, Gophers are getting screwed blind at home against Wisconsin.

But it’s all in our imagination, right?

If you can't get a rebound, just flail your arms and you'll get a call from an official 30 feet away who would have to have x-ray vision to have seen anything.

Yeah that no-talent Badger dork really has it down pat. Slide your arm inside the arm of the guy who has good rebounding position, pretend he hooked you, and Big Ten refs will foul him out of the game.

Yep, that was how I saw it. Another reason to hate Wisconsin.

Not missing the conference tournament stop over reacting

lol. glad i didn’t over react

 

[huskermania008]

The three and 4 team tiebreaker is record against all teams tied. Nebraska and Northwestern are in a virtual tie with records against teams they could be tied with. After the initial multi team tie break is settled, the team with the best head to head against all of the teams in the tie will be the highest seed, and so on down the line. As I stated Nebraska and Northwestern are pretty much tied with their win/loss against the teams that are tied. When two teams are tied, it goes to head to head. Nebraska will get in before Northwestern.

Also, Northwestern is not beating Maryland at their place. Nebraska will play in the Big Ten tournament, as I wrote before is a "virtual lock".

Good call!!

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Good call!!

Guess I had too much confidence the team could win one home game against 2 bottom of the league teams in Minnesota or Iowa.

Also look up the term virtual lock.

Just to be able to clear my schedule. What day and time is our first game in the conference tournament?

Piss off you said they would qualify Even in a tie break situation. Just take the loss .

The Omaha Mavericks may well get an NCAA tournament win before Nebraska. Assuming they get that first round or opening round game. Clear your schedule for that.

You didn’t project you said they would qualify even in the tie breaker/

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

I didn't say anything, I wrote it.

Secondly, you have written a ton of shit that either was false, stupid, or incorrect.

Lastly, no one, keeps score on comments made on an anonymous message board, well with the exception of you and @huskermania008

Nebraska basketball blew it, regardless to what I wrote on a message board. ha ha ha

Perhaps Brice Williams or Connor Essegian should have made more than 3 of 23 from the field and 0 for 11 from 3. Maybe Hoiberg shouldn't have told Essegian to not shoot at some point.
