I wasn’t sure that guy was going to call standing up with a loose ball

You don't have to put it so nicely.

Is Meah the softest big man in ncaa history? 

[No Place Like the Vault]

+3 in TO margin and still  down 16, sad

[Cazzie22]

Meah and the floor seem to attract one another.

Northwestern is pushing our guys a lot on rebounds.  Finally got a call.

So is that flagrant? NW player undercut Meah more there.

[GhostOfJoeMcCray]

14 offensive rebounds allowed in one half. There is no better stat to signal your lack of effort than that.

[MichHusker]

They already have FIFTEEN more shot attempts than we do. Unbelievable

Yep, Kelly wasn't.

[roscoe]

At some point you have to tell yourself "I'm not letting them get a rebound!"

[HuskerBB]

Not that he would have made the next one - but the NW player was in the lane way early on that last FT

It's not the refs right?

[Huskerpapa]

How do you give up 13 offensive rebounds in one half?

Sometimes I wish I was a fan of literally any other college basketball team 

[cozrulz]

Brice needs benched.  Pass the ball.

[Huskerpapa]

That is our worse half of the year.  This team has to wake the heck up.

Hopefully these first offensive and defensive possessions aren't indicative how the rest of the game will go.

Oh. Well…..

If this ogre is a terrible ft shooter I'd start "hack an ogre" as soon as he comes in game. I don't care if Grace and Burt have to guard him.

[Cazzie22]

It’s not the refs.  It’s total lack of effort and execution by us.  Why are we trying to feed Meah when he isn’t looking for the ball?  We are fortunate we aren’t down by 25.

A lot isn't though.  Gary threw the ball out of bounds and had Meah for a dunk.  Brice doesn't pass the ball when he had a guy wide open for three at the end of the half.

[HuskerFever]

Hate to say it, but it seems like we were doomed to lose this game the moment a spelling error was made to this game thread. The nerds are taking it personally and punishing us for that.
