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

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.

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.
 
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.

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!!

Just to be able to clear my schedule. What day and time is our first game in the conference tournament?
 
You didn’t project you said they would qualify even in the tie breaker
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.
