james is absolutely terrible tonight. 

[hhcscott]

I might have figured it out...East Lansing is nearly Ontario and these refs don't look like geography scholars, so they may be applying the Canadian exchange rate of one foul called for three committed

winston murdering our butts. 

[NUtball]

man, a lot of shots have been in and out.

[NUtball]

Eat it, Ward!

I guess when you wrap both arms around the guy, the Stooges have no choice but to blow the whistle.

I wouldn't bet money on it

well....shit. 

[HuskerFever]

I really can't stand it when our low shot clock go-to play is just to throw up a 3-pointer.

[The Polish Rifle]

We can complain about the refs all we want but this has come down to us just not hitting shots. 

[NUtball]

Luck is definitely on MSU's side as well.  Banked 3.  Ball deflected right back to the guy for an easy layup.  NU can't buy a basket right now.

I've seen worse referee squads, but this is bad all the same. Lot of no calls that palmer usually gets. Doesn't help that we're shooting like ass. Hard to win with 28% and under 50 at the 7 min mark.

I hope we will look back on these final seven minutes as the moment we went from good to great!

and a lot of that is their defense has been rock solid. our shots have been harder than theirs and that's the difference in the game to me.  when they're running their offense into the paint with passing we've struggled to defend it. 

 

they're just better. that's a really good team.

Yes. I think we are finally seeing it for what it is as fans. Problem 1A: no shooting. Problem 1b: refs.

Guys are gassed also.  Going to be hard to come back.  MSU gets down the floor so fast.

Oh they’re damn good. I’ll be encouraged even if we lose this because it proves to me if we hit shots - we can beat anyone. Here’s to hitting some over the next 5.

they were slow to rotate earlier in the season on the 3pt line. they're way better at running off the line now, and that's the biggest reason we're struggling. there's always someone in the shot. 

 

I can live with this loss more than 3 of the other ones. 

[NUtball]

Make the &^$&^%*&^_)*)(*)^% free throws!

[HuskerFever]

1-1 bonus with 5 minutes to go. How do you not capitalize off of that?

[PimpMario]

That Wisconsin game seems like so long ago.  . I just want to beat a top team
