Nebraska (20-8) vs. Ohio St. (16-12) Game Thread

Frustrating game right now.  We should win this by 10.  Gotta stop the second chance points.

[tcp]

We gotta be in the last 5 mins of the half aren't we....

[HuskerBB]

Now they make a traveling call on Keisei that they could have called 5 times on other players already this game.

Slap Mast, nice steal

 

[tcp]

 

dicking around with these small leads for 10 mins comes back to bite you...

Mast doesn’t look even half mast tonight. Love his offensive game. But his defense and rebounding is…..

Not sure why I keep think reffing will change. I'm an idiot for thinking that.

IMO, officiating should never be a topic - it has been, is now and always will be inconsistent at best. Everyone knows it and it won't change. Play in a way that minimizes the possibility it will have an effect on the outcome...you know, like win by double digits!

[WhyDoIWatchThisTeam]

Mast has been such a liability these past 10 games. SO SLOW, makes stupid decisions, misses every jump hook

frustrating half all in all...need to refocus at half and mayb get the lollygagging speech from Bull Durham

Easier to win by double digits when refs call things consistent.

Creighton played last night

[Red Don]

A See-Saw Battle of Runs going on in the First Half.
Big Foul & FT's Discrepancy (9-4 & 5-12)

 

Didn't expect anything different; with DJ Carstensen on the crew, nothing good is going to happen for Nebraska.

Call it even in the 2nd half. 

[HuskerFever]

We got this.

Hard to when the other team can just run into someone playing good defense for free throws every time. 

[brfrad]

I am 100 % shocked we were not called for a foul on that last possession.

Won't happen 

[Vinny]

This interim coach has a little jack wagon in him. 

[Cazzie22]

We need Williams and Josiah to stay out of foul trouble this half.  Offense was more efficient with Brice.  We have to rebound.

[WhyDoIWatchThisTeam]

Gary has 1 good three point shooting game and thinks he's steph curry, 1-5 from the floor. Mast continues to struggle to do anything on offense for what feels like the 100th game in a row, also 1-5 from the floor with 2 turnovers. Other than that, we got this lol

CJ’s 3pt shot is MIA. 

I still don’t really want him to stop shooting, but at some point you have to quit wasting possessions. 

[northwillriseagain]

I don’t think refs have it out for Nebraska, I just think they are always stuck looking at the name on he jersey.

Of course it is - but this is reality, not fantasy. Refs have NEVER called it consistently. Quit bitching about it. Play better - minimize the reasons for the whistle to blow to the best of your ability.  That's the point.

Need to treat Wilcher like we do Tominaga. If your should is off he provides almost nothing.

Totally agree! If we can play D like the middle stretch of the 1st half and Tominaga shoots when he’s open, Sam will come up with a big defensive stop to seal the victory for the Husker road warriors!!! GBR!!!
