I don’t see us winning this thing if Bryce continues to be invisible on offense.

USC is 6-50, in fouls called vs fouls actually committed

looks like the refs will call it if we are working inside

I think Saint Thomas may still be holding AU clothes during the timeout. That was a brutal no call on his handsy D.

Yeah I agree, but I hope he doesn’t force it. I have a feeling he will get his in the 2nd half.

Meah is no Mast. Missing a wide open cutting CE!

I feel confident he’ll go off a bit in the 2nd half.

Can’t believe Fred actually used the use it or lose TO!

Would have loved to see Berke kick that to Gavin in the corner there at the end. He was wide open.

[HuskerBB]

Glad we are ahead and half - but going to have to play better in the 2nd half to win this one.

Did the USC coach, coach in the NBA?

USC will make a few of those threes this next half.

Another contender for understatement of the year :)

Yes a while back.

Warriors and Kings

This team does not value the basketball. If they would play under control and not take bad shots on offense they could easily have a double digit lead now. Would be great to see that happen in the 2nd half.

Hopefully no more than just a few.

We've had at least four turnovers trying to drive when nothing was really there. Gary had one, Essegian, Rollie. Those are the ones where you just have to recognize and pull it out.

And I think the frustrating part is that we worried about this team at the start of the season and wondered where the offense would come from. But they got some good wins over the Bluejays, flushed a bad loss at MSU, and startied to play more consistently. But now they are anything but consistent. Not even for 10 minutes in a game let alone a whole game. How can they find that consistency again?!

TWSS!  Cue the Michael Scott GIF!

Not sure what to think about this performance.  We have to take care of the ball and keep Gary from shooting threes.  We will have to battle to the end to pull this out.

Part of it... we're just pressing I think. When the losses start piling up, you tend to press more. Especially since we've had some success this year.

Looks like we get high knees tonight.

 

Officials:

Jeffrey Anderson, Earl Walton, D.J. Carstensen

 

Signed on late so could not comment on this before the game - but is there a website somewhere that keeps track of how many times a team gets each Big 10 ref?    Ridiculous how many games we get DJ Carstensen as a ref.   Has to be intentional by whoever assigns the refs at the conference.
