Sort of funny...now they will have to foul to try to close the gap...so fouls will even up

Worster should have been on the line there. This is absurd.

That foul is called EVERY game. Literally being displaced. Textbook definition of a foul.

Brice is going to the league.

Brice. Dagger.

[Huskerpapa]

Once again, we played nowhere close to our best game.

 

But we won.  Nicely done.  Much better second half.

Hope he gets a good shot.   But in this game he and Gary are just way better athletes than anyone on the floor.  In the NBA everyone is big and athletic.

I don't where they found the zebra crews for this tournament, but their next stop should be Midway Island.  Don't let them back on the mainland.

 Two of the refs work the B1G.

The white dude is a SEC/ACC ref...truth

I get it.  But I’d add:
 

He’s smart and mature, 3 level scorer, elite ft shooter, and luxury perimeter defender at 6’7”. If he can keep putting clutch closer on tape, he’s getting drafted 2nd round.

Two Huskers fall to the floor...is the ice sheet for the Rainbow Warriors Hockey team under the hardwood?

When you say 'work', I assume you mean 'work' Nebraska.

Another friggin 30 piece for Brice. 
 

Anyone remember when we would get our asses kicked by Hawaii every single time we went out there?  

[hskr4life]

They’re going to keep fouling us.  MAKE YOUR FTs. #Metrics.

[Bugeaters1]

Funny Gary sticks his ass into a guy and gets called for a foul.

That was a textbook blockout.

Win and move on

[Cazzie22]

I like that we overcame a lot in this game.  Our guys were clearly frustrated by the officiating but we stayed tough and notched a victory.  It will be interesting how the Oregon St game will be officiated.

Yes absolutely. 2014, 2006 (doc got tossed), and 2004 NIT when Conklin went nuts against them.

Feel like this was the most important/difficult game of this mini-tourney. Think we roll OSU.

Feel like that one is going to be a tightly called game that should benefit us as long as we keep loving the rim.

Phenomenal defense for the win.  
 

Don’t really care how ugly it looked offensively.  We kicked their ass by 12 in the second half because they couldn’t score.  Hawaii had 5 assists and 15 TOs.  
 

41% from 3 to their 25%
90% from FT to their 67%
38 points in the paint to their 26

10 assists to their 5

8 steals to their 4

4 blocks to their 1

12 TOs to their 15

 

Lunch pail, Nate Loesner win.  

 

Let’s go.

38 paint points but only 3 fouls in 17 minutes for them just doesn’t add up.
