FUC#ING REFS

So getting McVeigh and Horne in the game helps the offense.  Who woulda thunk?

[HuskerFever]

I wonder if they're going to add another second on the clock at the end of this half.

[atskooc]

By the looks of the box score, it appears McVeigh is doing some things.

[Bugeaters1]

So do you think Purdue's sout had Jack on it?

[atskooc]

Seven total free throws.

 

Not complaining, but that's not very many.

Their scout probably said that if McVeigh plays, then Horne won't, and vice versa.

4 of 4, and had a foul not been called he would be 5 of 5.

It is kind of a 3 point contest.

2nd half adjustments: Go down the floor, and park Jordy, or Mike in the lane for the entire possession.   If they let the Purdue big do it, then they have to let Nebraska do it.

Trying not to be realistic with a side of pessimism right now... I just don't see this momentum lasting. Based on past performance, Purdue will likely come out strong in the second half and give us a run for our money.

 

But let me say, the fact we're up at half is fantastic. Trying to keep it together and stay strong! Let's win this for Avery!

Also, letting both teams play down low.  My only message to the refs is, call it the same way in the 2nd half.

Yeah a no call on a charge, and then charge that should have been a no call.

One stat which has been a struggle is 2nd chance points compared to offensive rebounds.  Today, we have 11 points on 8 offensive rebounds.   Against NW, I think we had 9 points on 16 offensive rebounds. 

[atskooc]

I think it's pretty impressive we're winning the rebounding battle.

 

Considering their size and that our best rebounder is out, I like to see that!

[atskooc]

And there's the quick start from Purdue. 

[HuskerFever]

It looks like we switched shoes to a half size larger, because we just went flat-footed in this second half.

[PimpMario]

We need purdue to keep turning it over

[brfrad]

So, the refs back to their old tricks.  Foul on one end is not a foul on the other end.  Call Jacobson for a foul, and the Purdue played does the same thing and it is not a foul?

Well... you can't say my hesitations were unsubstantiated. Sigh.

I had the exact same feeling...almost posted it until I saw yours.

 

It's almost like clockwork.

[PimpMario]

We are still playing active defense. Keep turning them over and we should be in the game

Does the young guy with the bad haircut officiate every single big 10 game? If I turn a big 10 game on I swear he's doing it.
