Minnestoa (17-9) vs. Nebraska (19-8) Game Thread

[Keenan9595]

I don’t understand the 5 years of infatuation for Garcia.  Now I will say with his skill set I actually think he’d be great in our system, but the dude has been hopping from team to team and has been so average, but god people love him and I don’t know why.  

[KZRider]

On a night when neither KT nor CJ are doing much, Huskers are still killing the rodents! Gary and Allick have been tremendous. 

[Red Don]

What game were you watching??

Gary with 4 3's.  The rest of the team has 5.  What are the odds?

I don't like them becausetheir mascot is vermin. I hate all rodents, even chip and dale. those fluffy tails aren't fooling anyone. they poop everywhere and destroy every they can get their claws on. so paint them golden all you want. they're still rats to me. Anyone bring a can of Vermin-B-Gone?

The officiating didn’t affect this game in anyway.  There were a couple of head scratchers but normally they even out. Our team is playing good enough we can stop complaining about average officiating.

The official who made the most questionable calls was actually a Nebraskan.

 

I actually thought they did well.  More so in the first half.  They let both teams play aggressively.   In the second half, they appeared to want to control the intensity; but sort of did it in a rather odd manner.

 

The only time I was rather ticked was when the offensive foul was called on Keisei.  Opponents are allowed to grab, push and punish him, and then Keisei gets called for brushing his arm downwards while trying to protect himself.  Balderdash I say, balderdash.

To me this game was a perfect example of the type of officiating that supports the notion that big ten teams get to the dance and don’t know how to play without fouling. From the tip it was so physical, they weren’t calling anything and they just let it keep escalating. Then they decide to start calling stuff tight right out of half time and you have to adjust how you’re playing the game.

Ya I didn’t see that. We missed 6 bunnies in the first 5 minutes with little to no contact. You can’t tell me Kesei was fouled on the first play, Mast on his normally dependable jump hooks, Sam on the reverse layup. There were about 3 others as well. 
 

There was also the run of two missed KT threes and two other paint shots and a missed dunk by Allick that led to a 6-0 run by Minny. Game could have easily been 35-15 at half and that was not on the officials 

[Vinny]

Of course the officials didn’t miss our shots. I think all eight of our rotation players missed gimmes in the first half. But both teams could do anything on the boards, around screens, to stop cutters. And that won’t always be the case.

I heard today, rumors regarding halftime entertainment.   If true, it will quite the athletic exhibition.   

Hmm.

Such a slugfest. Can’t wait for the quick whistles after the half.

 

The refereeing was uneven, let's just say. The first half was like rugby, and the 2nd half was a lot of ticky-tack stuff.

Our defense is so freaking good right now. And Brice is LOCKED IN on that end. Glad to see it. 

 

Brice has been one of the biggest catalysts for these past 4 games of supremacy. He's been unleashed... a dawg.

Is this a place to say that the refs sucked.

Same, I've loved their complexion and team resolve since the first time NU played Minny. It's been a fierce, fun group.

They've generally been poor as far as "evenness" in the B1G, it seems.

That Fox guy is just out of control. Does not look like a Division I basketball player. 

 

I was thinking that too, he was a total freak out there. A Goofer, for sure.

Cam Christie reminds me of the small head guy from Beetlejuice.

 

He reminded me of Max Christie on the Lakers, probably because Cam & Max are brothers.

In conference play we're shooting 39% from three and 79% from the free throw line. On the season we've made 33 more threes than anyone else in the conference. And we have the best FG% defense in the conference. Some impressive stats.

And, if NU keeps winning, the Huskers could finish 2nd in the B1G. Now, that's going to be hard to do as most of it is out of NU's hands, but attaining a top 4 finish seems a bit more plausible and earning a double bye in the BTT means more Q1 opportunities instead of a possible 'bad loss' without any byes in Minneapolis.
