Put Peltz in!

35 made free throws to 8.

What really sucks is Baylor isn't that good.

[colhusker]

46-12 at the FT line now

[KZRider]

No way there should be a nearly 30 point difference just in free throw scoring. Hate to say refs cost a team the game ever but they did cost us this one.

I wonder if there's a protest mechanism for the tourney. If there is, we need to lodge one. This is an outrage.

[hhcscott]

Huskers still not in the bonus

[Huskerpapa]

I can understand and come to terms with getting beat...but how we lost, with the free throw disparity is simply hard to fathom.

[jayschool]

Cripes. Miss a free throw for once.

[doc1394]

Well now I can't enjoy the rest of the NCAA tourney

[jayschool]

Great news, guys!! I just heard we held Austin to 2 field goals, Heslip to 0 for 6 from the arc and our two scorers, Petteway and Shields had 18 and 16 each, while Ray awoke and dropped 15 on Baylor!!!

 

By how much did we win????!!!!???

I have to disagree.  They are an upper seed in the NCAA tournament.  They are one of the top thirty-two teams in the country.  One of the top ten percent teams in the country.  They are good, but for the fouls and terrible start, we can play with them.  That tells me that our foundation is built.  We need to build consistancey and bring in a couple more players...we are right there.

[HuskerCager]

I feel bad for Rey and Mike.  The other players have next year.  This hurts for everyone though.

Put Peltz in!

With 27 seconds left, it was too early. He would have fouled out.

[tcp]

and you know Drew's going to be yapping about how good a job his guys did in drawing contact.

[extremehoops]

One thing I feel good about is Coach Smith is also a really good coach too.

[The Coach]

The problem is, if we are ever on the bubble again, we will probably not get the benefit of the doubt.

Well you know more about them than I do but they sure didn't look that good today. But it was an ugly game controlled by the refs. I hope your right though because I will be rooting for them Sunday. IF the rajin' Cajuns fail today.

I don't think so. A lot of people are seeing this game for what it is right now on some of the national boards. We're not just being homers doing the sour grapes thing.

[cozrulz]

I'm not usually one to get on officials too much...But these refs shouldn't be allowed to officiate another game.  It was god awful.

 

I will even put the loss on Husker shooting.  Still doesn't make up the jobbing officiating.

We got in because we earned it.  

It will be the same scenario going forward.

Duke just lost to Mercer.  Stuff happens.

I've seen them only today, so here's what I can surmise: they're really tall, and they're awesome free throw shooters.

baylor shot just as bad if not worse. the sole difference in the game was the whistles.

[hhcmatt]

I'll take 50 NCAA losses over all the NIT wins we could ever rack up.

This was a magical season.  No one can take that away from us.
