There's a part of me -- the Husker Hoops PTSD part -- that worries we won't bring our "A" game tonight and that we'll somehow manage to sneak into the NIT. As a 5-seed. For a road game. Please, just win this one tonight so I can rest easy.

 

I feel sorry for Rutgers.

Nebraska is going to make history in 10 days, they will win for the 1st at the Crisler Center. GBR!!

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

 

Tell me about it. It's no wonder how difficult it is to win on the road in this freakin' conference. It's like a different set of rules for the home team as there is for the road team. Now, I know Nebraska didn't bring their best game, but Ohio St. didn't deserve to nearly get a double-figure win either. It's kind of beyond frustrating at this point. Oh well, gotta move on.

I feel sorry for Rutgers for what we're going to do to them.

 

"9-1-1, what is your emergency."

 

Yes, I'd like to report a murder.

 

"OK, did you witness this murder, or ..."

 

Actually, it hasn't happened yet. It's going to happen on Sunday. We're going to kill Rutgers.

Ohio State looks like they want it so much more than Nebraska and that just doesn’t make any sense to me 

 

Certainly that's part of it with Battle, he's good. But the rest of their roster got a lot of the benefit of the doubt on their FTAs. If NU plays OSU in Minneapolis, I think Nebraska rolls 'em by a fairly good margin. Home teams win in this league.

I know what you meant, Normy. I was just sayin' they are at least going to get a victory on Leap Day. Nebraska's now 1-7 all-time on Leap Day. Ughh.

Battle hit him on the side of the face on his 3, nothing.

 

If that happens to Steph Curry in the NBA, they review it for a hostile act. That was a totally garbage non-call on Keisei. I was livid for the remainder of this ballgame, we didn't play really great but we also got homered by these refs in the process. Ohio. St. isn't that great, only Battle is a good player. The other guys who shot a bunch of FTAs were simply gifts by these B1G refs, it was such horrendous disparity, it was of epic proportion.

I still say we are that much better than OSU.  We need to get this done.  

 

If NU plays OSU in Minneapolis, the Huskers will roll the Bucks. Book it.

And Hummel still sounds like he’s trying to work the refs in favor of Ohio State.

 

Gotta realize that Nebraska will forever be the Jr. Members of the Big Ten. It's awful how this game was officiated. Now, I understand NU didn't play their best but there's no way that one of these clown Buckeyes deserved 12 FTAs for playing like a wild animal at times.
