they really need to add some sort of incentive to win this tournament.

We are losing every hustle play...

[tcp]

dawgs are just a bit more into this one than us. we look almost bored. 

[Huskerpapa]

Missed bunnies will be my post-season nightmare.

I know 3 seconds is rarely called - but it is being completely ignored in this game.

seems to be a lot of things completely ignored in this game...like the game. 

[HuskerBB]

Seems like we are getting a lot of cheap fouls called and then they swallow the whistle when a real foul happens.

 

[HuskerBB]

I think I figured the new rule out - if you are inside the lane no offensive violations can occur - no traveling, no 3 seconds anything goes inside the lane.

Hey!  Just lose the handles, get it back for a Bucket And One!   Easy Peasy (for them)!

So far all the  NIT games I’ve watched this year have been brutal. Just bad for the game of basketball.  Hopefully the level of play picks up across the board

 

To be fair, nothing says meaningless basketball games like changing all the rules of the game just for kicks.

What’s the point of having a wider 3 Point Ln. if you’re not going to call three seconds?

[Bugeaters1]

So ADO is 51% from the line, tonight he is 100%

[Cazzie22]

It would be nice if Roby would wake up on offense.

Looks to me that a zone may be in the cards.  They like the lane more than we do.

 

They're holding it until after half so Miss St doesn't have the half to game plan it

[NUdiehard]

Copeland’s defense has been atrocious so far

[brfrad]

And, why have quarters, if you still have 3 media timeouts?

lol kind of a toasty take after just one quarter, dontcha think? 

 

I’ve felt this way since Sunday night. If we win this it will be incredible considering our defensive effort and shot selection are what you would see at a pick-up game at the park.

Nice little 4-0 run here. 

[tcp]

well, no road team has won yet, but a couple of possibilities tonight. temple being the closest to breaking that streak. 

 

pretty sad tourney so far.

Media timeouts are the worst thing in sports.

Auto bid to the NCAA for the two finalists?

“5 quick ones for Nebraska” the announcer says after two dunks.

i hear ya. I figure we can give them the halftime break to see if that can't decide they want to win or not.
