How does the team playing aggressive handsy defense have half the fouls?

How does your starting PG airball a wide open three?

Because Gavin passed it to him.  He had a clear lane to lay it up but he passed it.

The refs are not to blame for this pathetic start but how in the world does a foul get called guarding Baldwin there when it is so.much more physical on the other side.  Ridiculous.

Needless to say, Penn State has 2 fouls, yet Hoiberg had his jersey torn.  That seems legit.  Now, an absolute awful foul call on Rollie.

[roscoe]

I woke up this morning feeling worried but confident. Figured it would be a tough game. But also thinking we can't get off to a worse start than NW and it will be close to the end.

Exactly. Gavin doesn’t want the ball 

 

Seems more like a low basketball IQ thing

We need to play better, but again officiating inconsistency is disruptive. If we get mugged no call and grazing another team is flagrant (last game example) how do you adjust?

[NUtball]

Gary gets fouled on the shot, no call.

Then Rollie too, that guy was vertical but he jumped about four feet at him from under the basket to outside the restricted area.

[Nebrasketball1979]

Glass half full is we have 9 extra minutes to erase a 20 point lead.

[MichHusker]

Hate watching has started. Can we beat how much Kansas got smoked by yesterday?

[huskerbill85]

Hard to see how this team wins a game in the tournament fellas

[Huskerpapa]

Pathetic basketball.  Are we running an offense or defense?

[hhcdave]

I really regret betting big on Nebraska -1.5. 
 

im a sucker.

 

Also we are firmly back on the mid 10 line if we lose by 15+

 

parhetic pathetic pathetic 

[NUtball]

They ain't coming back tonight.  Complete lack of effort across the board.

[Huskerpapa]

I mean, it is hard not to be negative.  This team called it in so far.

[hhcscott]

I want us to try this clutching defense. Run out the entire bench mob and have them grab, scrape, pinch, slam, chop and see if we can get the same consideration

 

[brfrad]

Can we come out in White uniforms at halftime?  The refs might actually call a foul on PSU.

 

Gary reaches in at half court and gets called for a foul.  PSU has done that the whole game.

 

We need to make shots.

Metrics will take a major hit losing this one big vs Northwestern. We need to find a way to keep this one close ish.

[millerhusker]

Not coming back in this one. Penn State is the better team. Better defense, better ball handling, better at finishing around the rim. Their post player is better than any of ours. Hicks is a sharpshooter. 

[HuskerFever]

[hskr4life]

Brice!!!! WTF man.

[GhostOfJoeMcCray]

There is no way I thought we could ever play a worse first half than we did at NW. 

 

Took us one game. 

[hhcscott]

Fouls 

NU 8

PSU 2
