Sounds like we have another Freddy Valetine reffing.

 

 

The quality of the reffing is only exceeded by our Free-Throw Shooting!

[Red Don]

And NO foul on Yvan on his made basket.

A 7-21 team is 6-21 from the line. 
 

That’s ridiculous.

Another stat of note, we’re shooting a better 3point percentage than FT percentage.

[Bugeaters1]

Welp we finish 2-18

These last 5 minutes...

Just curious... how close are we to being the worst D1 free throw shooting team?

well, the nice thing about NW pulling away is you don't have to endure Hack-a-Husker, so there's that.

Literally 347 of 350 in FT% before this game.

I know people are nervous about Hoiberg turning over our roster again, but at this point it’s a necessity.

I can't believe we're about to lose to NW twice in the same year. And Yvan has played his ass off too. This is crazy

[Bugeaters1]

I guess we are shiter than Northwestern.

Imagine a tie game right now, 63-63, in which we were 13-25 from the FT line. We'd be moaning about how horrible our FT shooting is, right?

 

This is beyond imagining for a power conference basketball team. It's beyond imagining for a Class A high school team. It's beyond imagining for a middle school AAU team.

 

Sometimes, I wish I cared less. This looks like one of those days.

I'm thinking the same thing at this point

I would still do it.  What do you have to lose.  We have a better chance of making a 3, than hitting a free throw.

I can't believe you're not optimistic that we're about to see the greatest 4 minutes of Nebraska's season right here.  As long as we don't have to shoot free throws or layups, we may have a chance.

i'd be far more nervous if they didn't. this is a historically bad basketball team, and our standards aren't exactly high. 

[jayschool]

Even if we shoot our regular horrible 60 percent from the line (15-of-25), we're up by two instead of down by six. It's crazy bad.

@thrasher31 is Right!    We Need to have some roster Surprises!

We're looking to steal a win at home against a team that has lost 12 in a row.  Oh well, let's finish it!

[HuskerFever]

This is a game of droughts. The winner might be the one who isn't on the scoring drought to end the game.
