I came back just to bitch about that soft ass tech.

Dont feel like that at all. Of course it wouldve been nice to win, but we fought hard on the road against a good team.

#VegasDoesntKnow #BetTheSkers Refs screwed us... Copeland and Glynn and Gill struggled. Only lost by 12. We can win every single game from here on out. This was 1 game. Let’s get it done against Wisco.

with a different crew to work the game though.

Name of the bald ref? haas clapped in his face afterwards...technical?

I'm on the Haarms hate train.

Man, this feels like a missed opportunity... There must have been more to the story on Cope's T. Not sure if something had been brewing, but it was a weak call. NU have every chance to be in this game. Every time they had a chance to get back in the game and really make things interesting, they literally gave it away. Glynn seemed to struggle today. Frankly, most of the back court did, at least offensively. Roby did some nice things, I thought it was one of his better games, actually. Purdue was allowed to be really physical in the perimeter today, especially early. Really harassed NU into a bunch of turnovers, which may have been the difference in the game. That Haarms kid is skyrocketing up my most annoying player leader board. I'd really like to see NU mix in the press more in the middle of games, not just when they're trying to make a miracle comeback. I'd like to see them ambush teams with it. It seems to produce results just about every time they use it. They don't need to do it a lot, just occasionally. For a team with a dominant front court, NU sure dunked a lot. Jordy didn't play in the 2nd half. He hasn't played much in a bunch of 2nd halves. Why is he still starting? Tanner is solid, but he's got some nuances he's still figuring out. Had a couple chances to pickup some offensive fouls but didn't. I think he'll learn how to pick those up. Thomas Allen going through a few of those Freshman blues? For the second game in a row, the rebounding improved quite a bit after halftime. Let's see if we can get that figured out before the break next time. NU shouldn't fear Purdue if they face them again. Hopefully they get another shot at them in New York. Alright, that's enough for now. Here's to getting back on track on Tuesday vs. Wisconsin.

That's so close. I wish my initial prediction of an NU win had occurred, however.

So isn't that a tech on Haarms?

Good thing Roby didn’t look at any Purdue players after that dunk.

Coming out of relative lurkerdom to note that I didn't think many people could match the jackwagon-ness of DJ Byrd from a few years back, but lo and behold, there in another Purdue uniform, there he is... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

H-A-A-R-M-S. Double A's for a double dose of douchery.

At one point the announcer who isn't Kugler complimented Purdue for elbowing our guy in the head.

How can you bobble the ball, let it hit the floor, regather it, and dribble again? Isn't that double dribble?

Start Borchardt on Haas. 16 minute mark....get the best 5 out there together again

6-2 advantage in the 3 minutes since we put our best team on the floor, with several very good missed opportunities

Hopefully it's not down to $$$ because then we lose

Things are moving quickly in KenPom land now: Projected record: 18-13 9-9

Whether in the B1G Tourney or the Big Dance, the next time we play these pricks, we win.

I am optimistic as well.

And hopefully this is the last sign we need. We need to cut the 3 headed monster at the 5 down. Even if it is for just a few minutes a game...we are better served consolidating those minutes. If/when foul trouble arises...so be it...we'll cross that bridge when it comes. We don't play too many 'big' teams the rest of the way. We need to be playing our best players more, rather than the guys who may fit the stereotype of their position

I think Nebraska had 8 dunks on the day while PU had 1.

Yeah that guy...Vagner or Wagner or whatever.

a lot went wrong and we still largely competed. that's a pretty good sign and the best we were likely to take away from this one. Purdue's a good team, and they're built to go pretty deep in the Dance. now we just need to beat the teams we can beat and I think Fate might be kind to NU this season.

Why was he allowed to take 4 steps?

Think maybe someone needs to hit Matt Haarms somewhere other than in the balls.

Ha. Purdue clock operator tried to stop it early.

I feel like that T was the equivalent of the Kenny Bell block from the Big 10 championship game

What a bogus technical

The only way I can tell a difference between Haas and Haarms is that one is a crybaby and the other one isn't.

Refs have screws us hard. Probably didn’t lose it for us, but we could have been a lot closer and had a chance if it wasn’t for them.

Hey! High-five Copeland! You can do that all day. Keep up the edge, we'll need it the rest of the season.

Umm... Copeland with the mean stare T?

Should have been an one...instead a T...goodness

Haarms sure talks a lot for someone who has been on the ground twice for upper leg pain this game

Oh come on. They’ve been doing what Glynn just did the whole game.

Roby block!

I think I could develop a little Aaron Craft-like disgust when it comes to Matt Haarms. You?

We will see a technical before the end of this game.

NU down 10 at half. Don’t have the stats in front of me but almost certain Jordy was a minus 12 (or worse) for the 6 minutes he was in. Which means NU was was a positive net rating for the 14 minutes Jordy not in game.

How come we scored with about 50 seconds left, and Purdue was allowed to in bounds the ball about 10 seconds later, with less than 40 seconds remaining? That was kind of crap

Nebraska is so much better when Tshimanga is on the bench. This lineup is long, athletic, dynamic and has the ability to get to the rim and finish strong.

I read a story (can't remember the source...) that Daum isn't planning to grad transfer anywhere. He'll either enter the NBA draft (unlikely) or he will finish his senior year with the Jacks.

Anyone have any idea what his plan might be after this year?? Is he even going to have an option to be a grad transfer or not?? Saw he is playing in Omaha today and averaging 22.5 points a game so it got me thinking.... Thought I would see If anyone had some inside info??!!

Purdue has a slightly better record than 10-5..

It's clearly not accurate, since it has only one FCS school ranked ahead of Nebraska.

Puked in my mouth. I despise him.
