I understand - but it has happened before as well.   Not having Verge in the game at the end vs. Ohio St for example.

Yeah I'm ok with sticking with the guys who got you to this point.  Keisei and Kobe were playing tough and moving the ball. Plus, surrounding Bryce and Walker with shooters is the ideal situation.

Final Stats:

 

Well a lot better showing than any of us thought!

Verge and Trey on bench in crunch time. Kobe turnover. Tominaga doesn't box out. Effing frustrating. 

 

How many games have we lost close because we gave up a crucial offensive rebound with less than a minute left? We don't know how to finish. I'm afraid they are expecting to lose now. It's just brutal.

[Cookie Crumbs]

Told my buddies to turn the game on since we were winning. Mistake.

Wake me up next season.  

[B1G Red]

Now 5-45 in Big Ten play.

I can take losses like this better than I can where we get blown out by 30 and look uninterested

Effort was there just couldn't finish...again. Team looks different with Trey back. Hopefully steal a couple wins if effort holds up.

 

We've said this though... we've had a chance to steal a couple and couldn't do it.  How many more opportunities are we going to have to steal a game?  We're 0/2 in games that we could have stole with Trey back.

The technical was huge. Always finding new ways to lose. It's so silly.

It was. Was a bad call, but the reaction was unnecessary

[HuskerFever]

I haven't fact checked this yet, but we've had a lead in more games than we would think this season.

 

We can't grow leads and we can't even keep a lead.

[hskr4life]

We've lost 14 B1G games in a row dating back to last year and we've lost 14/15.  It's going to take a lot of lipstick for this pig.

Bald-headed Lurch with the assist and save.  That worthless POS is one of the worst 5 officials in the game.  I knew he could be counted on to bail them out.  His mind was made up that he would blow the whistle the second Dickweasel touched the ball.  10 feet in front of him with a clear line of sight and he f's up the call on one of the cleanest blocks you'll ever see.  Get the ball there with a chance to go up 9 or 10.  Instead it's a 3-point game that you know Nebraska will choke away.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

I’m going to say it and it may be unpopular. I don’t fault Tominaga’s reaction. It was a clean block clearly. He didn’t plead with the ref. Earlier a Michigan player ran down the court waving his arms and didn’t get called…

[royalfan]

Can someone explain to me when Wilcher was at line to tie the game, why both Tominaga and Webster remained in the game over Trey and maybe even Mayen.  Get some bigger better athletes in there to play D for the love of God.  Patience is wearing thin with Hoiberg not understanding the little things that should be so obvious and simple.

This... you see guys go up to refs and argue.... you see guys stare down refs and say crap all of the time.  Keisei was running the other way.  Typical reaction you see all. the. time.

Dickweasel… Hahahahahahahahah… Dickweasel…

Played better.  But it comes down to the little things...and yes...one big man.

Amen.  Horrible, horrible call.  Whistle was pre-determined because, how can the great Hunter Dickinson get a shot blocked by someone 6 feet tall?

[brfrad]

It's easy to see where the game was the difference.

 

One team shot 33 free throws, the other team shot 15.

Also thought it was flagrant when Eduardo took elbow. He was trying to impede Eddie getting to the ball. Once again my opinion with my scarlet glasses. Roles reversed and it gets called.

He's probably in line to make some NIL money with these guys:

I think Fred sometimes forgets who brought him to the dance.   Verge and Trey were struggling this half and Kobe gave us a really nice spark - as did Keisei.   But once we made that run and it started to turn we needed Verge and Trey back in the game for ball handling.

 

And defense.  Kesei gave up the back door and Kobe got the ball poked out on back to back plays.  And Trey sits.  Sub on defense at a minimum.  Meanwhile, Fred gets back on the plane with his timeouts.  Excruciatingly bad coaching that last 2 minutes

Lurch, mini Lurch and Mcjunkins didn't expect Huskers to compete so decided to help Michigan.
