Nebraska 5 point dogs against Illinois in today’s Semifinal game

[SomedayHusker]

wtf is that tie up??? Bullshit

 

[rrdd2021]

The game has been officiated completely different than 1st half. That limits how we can play defensively and how well we can rebound.

This COLLAPSE has nothing to do with the officiating

 

[huskerfan66]

Fix is in guys. We're not b1g protocol

 

[cubsker]

We're rushing when we don't need to

 

[schuele]

Jacking too many contested 3s now

 

[Huskers123456]

Run our offense!

 

[cubsker]

We need to get f’n violent on the board. They are just playing bully ball and it’s working.

That's what's funny. Play more physically and you somehow foul less.

Well, this afternoon was looking pretty fantastic. Illinois has been doing nothing but driving to the hoop this second half. And they're finishing. I wish we had an answer. It's like we're trying to hard to keep up the same Pace as the other team and then not looking for the best shot.

Shannon is a dude. We haven’t gotten bounces late, but Illinois has found a gear that we couldn’t match.

 

[Huskers123456]

We get so unfocused and forget what we do when we are successful. Driving and chucking up rushed shots isn't our thing. Chucking up terrible 3's. Settle down.

 

[schuele]

This is right where the score was in Champaigne and it went OT. Don’t wave the white flag yet.

Yep had to shoot better to beat them and the refs. We got the Ohio state treatment. Beauty is we won’t have B1G officials in the big dance . Teams like IL and PU will suffer

 

[Husker4real]

This a definitely a disappointing loss - especially after leading by 15 in the second half.

 

[Muskyhunter16]

Beat our ass physically the entire second half. They turned their D and rebounding up significantly, totally took away our offensive flow we had in the first half

 

[cubsker]

A&M blew an even bigger lead if it makes anyone feel better

 

[bama_husker]

Illinois shut our offense down cold in the second half. We got a bunch of decent players but other than Tominaga they disappeared in the second half.

We are tired. Gotta get healthy for next week.

 

[DerHusker]

Jump ball, lol

^^^ THIS ^^^

Bummer

 

[cubsker]

1 of 2 every trip ain't helping

Have you seen teams in the Big12 like Houston and Iowa St play? They’re just as physical if not more so

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Another garbage call

 

[cubsker]

Seen that dame thing let go lots of times.

You completely missed the point musky

 

[cubsker]

Missing wide open 3 after wide open 3 this half

 

[Huskers123456]

I hate when Mast thinks he's Steph Curry and jacks up bad 3's.

Officiating started it, now we can’t hit anything

Purdue will be better without a bad whistle. The rock fights are when Purdue struggles. Purdue and Nebraska need a free flowing, up tempo game to be at their best. I think both make fun runs.

 

[Muskyhunter16]

You completely missed the point musky

I guess I did. I thought you were saying that physically dominant teams will suffer from tighter officiating in the dance, and I don’t think thats true, but I probably missed your point

 

[Husker4real]

This happened the first time we played In Minnesota this season…15 point second half lead turned into a double digit loss.

30 point second half swing by Illinois

 

[huskerfan66]

Holy cow foul on Illinois

 

[cubsker]

I guess I did. I thought you were saying that physically dominant teams will suffer from tighter officiating in the dance, and I don’t think thats true, but I probably missed your point

The one sided officiating is what will be different.

See cubsker response. B1G favoritism leads to wins that these teams don’t enjoy in the post season… why they get bounced early

 

[SomedayHusker]

I hate when Mast thinks he's Steph Curry and jacks up bad 3's.

He’s shooting 34% from three as a center. I’ll let him decide when to shoot it. I haven’t minded any of his shots today. Just not falling for anyone in the second today

Good God. NU had a 15 point 2nd half lead and with 1:00+ left they were down 15. That's a 30 point swing. You can spin this anyway you want, but that's way more than officiating

 

[huskerfan66]

8 minutes in the half that would have been a foul on us

 

[schuele]

This wouldn’t be so surprising if it had happened right after the break. But NU came out of the locker pretty strong, then got manhandled for about the last 16:00.

Sure. But that dynamic alone COMPLETELY changed the way the game was being played. They allowed Illinois to push and bully and we breath and get called for fouls

 

[king_kong_]

Mildly disappointing result

Next stop, big dance

Need a full 40 mins

I didn't say it was
