We discontinued the flop rule for the rest of the year?  To be fair, probably only one could be called.

I... don't... think we won that segment.

[jayschool]

How many assists would Mack have with Andre Smith or Dave Hoppen or Rich King or Kimani Ffriend or Carl McPipe or Aleks Maric or Venson Hamilton or Chuck Jura or Mikki Moore or even Brandon Ubel at the end of his post-entry passes? 

 

To myself: "He's just 17. He's just 17. He's just 17. He's just 17. He's just 17. He's just 17."

Wisconsin now 28-of-55 from deep in 3.5 halves of basketball against Nebraska. They shoot 33 percent as a whole, so that means probably closer to 30 percent against everybody but us.

2nd half basketball is hard for this team

It seems like we can put together one truly competitive half a game. Sometime it's the valiant comeback from the terrible first, more often it's the second half disintegration

Official's call aside, how was that "all ball" when Easley got knocked down?

[thrasher31]

Finishing aside, Yvan has looked good today I think

At least Standhardinger never had a problem with finishing...

Shon Morris thinks it's a good call so you know it was bogus.

Who has better basketball fans than Nebraska? Seriously. I watched the Penn State game earlier, and they had a nine-year run of zero sellouts. That ended this year because they're good. Kansas? Duke? Kentucky? Psssh. Real tough being a fan of those teams. Our time will come, but until then, we show up and hope against hope. Here's to at least one more win this year to reward the players and the country's best fans.

Prescient?

I’m just going to start watching the first half of our games.  I’m more happy that way.

We'll win some games next year just by making these <2' shots.

Nebraska 14-of-29 from close. Wisconsin 14-of-30 from deep.

When Fred gets the players in to sun his offense it won't matter how many fouls the refs fail to call!

B1G officials "Hold my whistle and watch this."

2nd half officiating appears to be of the "wrap it up, i got a plane to catch" variety

Glad to see Arop getting some minutes late.  Other than the 1 in 10 games when Cross gets hot from deep, he is a total loss on both ends of the floor.  I'd like to see what Arop can do when Yvan needs a breather.

Wisconsin 177-of-552 in its 23 games against teams not named "Nebraska." That's 32 percent. 

Wisconsin 33-of-65 in its 2 games against Nebraska. That's 51 percent.

I'm really getting tired of this.  I thought the game on Tuesday was a step forward.  Now... just another step back.

[Husker Hoops Penitent]

By far the worst NU team (and there have been lots of bad ones) I've ever seen. I started watching/listening in earnest inn 1976. Even though I am accustomed to it, like jail-rape, it never becomes comfortable.

 

That said, Coach Hoiberg will get this team to the promised land.
