Bro. That last play

[Woody Boyd]

No field goals last 6:20? Did I hear that right?

[cipsucks]

All tied up at 36 at half.  Would you guys knock off the negative vibes?  Huskers win by double digits. 

[Bugeaters1]

Just let the BUTTGERS COACH walk all over the court.

 

[Huskerpapa]

Here's the deal.  You can't let just one team play physical and not get called for it and then turn around with ticky tac fouls on the other end.

Clearly in this conference, you can. You have to learn to win in spite of the disadvantages of being the new kid on the block (conspiracy theories notwithstanding to my friend whatshisname). 

 

no ref alive can stop you if you make your shots. i had a coach when I was a kid tell me that and it stuck with me all these years. Make your shots, you'll win. 

[cornfed24-7]

We're lucky they suck at free throws. 

[roscoe]

Maybe have someone not in foul trouble commit hard clean foul. These 3 refs will then want to be the show and take control.

[cipsucks]

First 8 minutes of the second half will tell the tale of the game.  One team will make a run, and the other team might or might not answer.  I feel good.

[hhcmatt]

If it was easy to win at Rutgers, Piekell wouldn't be the coach.

Gotta want it more.

[roscoe]

Even 1st half. Both teams with 13 fgs, 5 3s and 5 fts. Surprisingly only getting outrebounded 20-18. Seems like it should be much, much worse.

Missed the first half with a meeting— what do I need to know?

Everyone in conference play hits 3's against us. 26.6% 3pt percentage defense out of conference (9th overall) and 42.9% in conference (last in Big 10). Rutgers actually has the same problem as they were 20th in the country in 3pt defense out of conference (28.3%) and 13th out of 14th in conference play currently (41.8%). I would be willing to bet our numbers look a bit better after the game as Rutgers only shoots 26.7% from 3 at home, which ranks 339th out of 361 teams 

 

[Huskerpapa]

If I recall, Rutgers is an elite 3 point shooting team, right?

[Huskerpapa]

Quit complaining!  That was a clean foul 

[cipsucks]

Here we go!  Let's see who gets the momentum after the technical.

[roscoe]

They want the foul and Cliff was in lane longer than CJ earlier!!

[hhcmatt]

Hope my kids can't read lips because Piekell hit all 7 words you can't say on TV

[cornfed24-7]

How's it feel to be the newby Rutgers

[hskr4life]

So does Rutgers get allllll of the calls now?

[hhcmatt]

which of us hasn't cursed out Kelly Pfieffer?

[REDZONEDAN]

Pikiell just went 3/4’s McCaffery.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Jo giving us some nice minutes 

KT is clutch at the line

 

[cipsucks]

So far, so good.
