We have got to improve at FT’s next year...

[REDZONEDAN]

Poor free throw shooting this year has cost us anywhere from 3-5 games this year.  Hopefully we can improve this next year, 

[brfrad]

How can a Division I team shoot 5 - 15 from the free throw line?

Glad I posted the reffing crew. 

 

 

It must not be a good sign when I know the ref by name.

Pure mental weakness on our FTs. This is embarrassing for college athletes.

How can a short, skinny point guard who likes to take the ball the hoop miss three in a row?

[Red Don]

Jeez, Even Robin Washut hasn't Tweeted the Halftime Stats! (Maybe they aren't keeping 'em for this game )

 

[Nebrasketball1979]

 Basketball was not designed by Naismith to be as hard as we make it.

Don’t think we need to worry about any of these records being broken by this group.

The Summit Conference called. They're no longer interested in expansion if it involves Nebraska or Northwestern.

That, and probably running onto the court.  But, given the fact Larry Station is the worst ref in the country, they might have figured it was justified.

[Nebrasketball1979]

So this is what's its like to watch a game between two teams that have lost a combined 25 in a row.  I feel like wearing a paper bag over my head in my own house while I watch this.

[tcp]

holy cow, took a chance to check out the stats and score and......6 of 18 from the stripe? gott in himmel. that should be grounds for disqualification from Div 1. 

[Cazzie22]

Nice that Burke decided to be a factor.

Combined, 26 turnovers to 15 assists. Ugly with a capital UGH.

[brfrad]

Why do I not feel confident after this run?  Maybe because eventually we have to make free throws.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Cheatham and Burke are playing hard, nice to see! 

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Great reaction by the boys. 

 

Next year though, really need to intensively practice and workshop free throws. Honestly 50% sure whether or not it's a nebrasketball curse that's causing this, or just poor tradition or practice. I'm SURE they practice this, but how does anything explain how we're so terrible at the line???? #1 frustrating thing for husker fans(at least a decade in now) 

[HuskerFever]

Regression to the mean.

[Bugeaters1]

Sounds like we have another Freddy Valetine reffing.

 

[HuskerFever]

How many second chance points does Northwestern have??

Yvan pushing 20 boards.
