Nebraska 19-11 Vs. Ohio State 24-8 Game Thread

[hhctony]

Sunday should be fun! We'll see what happens. 

[HuskerCager]

Dang.  That stinks.  We just couldn't finish them off.  My hats off to the Buckeyes.  Delle Valla and Craft were money down the stretch.

That said, we should be in the dance.  Still a lot to be thankful for this year.

i need nyquil.

Thad May be the biggest dumb a$$ in the league.

Della Villa is so smart.

I just puked all over the place.

[huskerbaseball13]

Players and coaches have nobody to blame but themselves. Miles needs to learn how to draw up an inbounds play the players let OSU take it to them at the end.

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

Whatever. We are still in the big dance. Now we get more time to rest up for next weekend. (Searching for positives)

[Boots]

We better hope the bracket projection with us playing VCU isn't true because with they're pressure they would f***ing kill us after how we handled OSU's press.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Nice saving face on the Craft calls at the end.

Horse shit reffing this game.

[a0t0w0]

Fucking fouls.

 

How are you supposed to play when there's a foul every possession?

 

That 55 minute stretch from the 15:00-8:00 mark completely took us out of it. 

 

Destroyed our momentum.  Destroyed our flow.  Just as frustrated with this game as I was the UMASS game. 

 

The calls went both ways for the most part, BUT THAT TYPE OF REFFING SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE.

not necessarily. we've been pressed before, but what we've done is draw fouls on the passes. today, we never got whistles on all the contact on the inbounds coverage. i think that made a huge difference. this is only the 2d game I've seen this season where I thought the refs were a major factor in the outcome.

[Ron Mexico]

Time to forget this one and change the focus to dance preparation.

[berlinblackshirts]

I am really disappointed and yes the refs sucked. But it's over now and will most likely be a very good learning experience for our guys. They will get the monkey of the back next week.

[GoBigRed]

This is going to have us so ready to play next week. It sucks now, but this team always plays better with a chip on its shoulder, and it will now have a big one.

It seemed like it, didn't it?

[hal9000]

I'm so fucking sick of what they always let Craft get away with. All refs that give in to his style of play are shams and a disgrace to the game of basketball and mock the memory of James Naismith.

[huskerbaseball13]

I think we are in. But we have no idea what they are thinking. We wouldn't be the first team to get screwed over.

[gobigredbrah]

Hate how craft reaches in the entire game and the refs swallow their whistle

 

Terran did it to once della volley, his hand came down while della valle flopped backwards and refs still called it.

 

Also, why did we stop going to Pitchford? Coaches deserve some blame on that one. Pitchford was keeping us ahead.... until we stopped getting him the ball.

[TheKamdyMan]

The game was over when Us Always went out the door and Me ball came out up 18.  They got away from their principles and it cost them.  The back breaker was Walt's showtime failure.

[cozrulz]

No more Petteway as the inbounder.  Actually, don't let him touch the ball until past half court.  He has been bad all year with press break and today it came back and bit us.

 

Also, get a few more inbounds plays.  The one we ran was something you would see in little kid basketball.  Guys running in circles and no screens isn't going to get it done in college basketball.

[nuled2dance]

Just hurts....we have to rebound better and also have to beat the press

[nuled2dance]

Can't blame the refs guys we chocked in the monent . hope we clean the press break

Given the new foul rules, Craft should foul out of every game.  He is the only player allowed to still touch and bump out front.

[a0t0w0]

I really don't think Walt was going broadway on that.  I looks like he caught it awkwardly.  Either he could have just landed and laid it in. 

[Silverbacked1]

Both teams were in the double bonus at by at least the 10:00 mark. We were shooting two at10:47 I think.

Just think the B1G was a driving lay up from Ill OSU in this side of the bracket.

They really happy with the OSU Mich. though.

I think I will use way less the needed for the 24. hour rule.

Do we have any details on Sunday yet?

[brfrad]

The announcers talking about the hatred for Craft, saying about all the stuff he does. Yes, he does good things, but he is a dirty player that has a reputation as a great defender. In realty he is not. He does move his feet, but he also slaps the opposing players arm a lot.
