Nebraska 19-12 Vs. Baylor 24-11 Game Thread

Wonder how much zone we'll see next year?  I'm guessing quite a bit.

We carved up their zone except for making shots in the first half.

 

 

That's the problem. We don't shoot that well from outside.  Especially away from The Vault.

Yeah Norm they get to operate with impunity. That's not right! They should have to answer some questions after the game. It doesn't have to be televised or anything just a few questions from each teams beat reporter would be nice.

Not sure if this was already mentioned, so please excuse me if this was. I am not the most Twitter-savvy guy. Did Karl Hess really tweet this?

No it is a fake account.

Here is an example of the work product from Hess.  How is he still working college games?  Is college basketball short of refs?

 

Asked about the incident during an annual student rally on the eve of NC State's home game against rival North Carolina, Gottfried did not hold back the way he did in his news conference after Saturday's game. He called Hess' decision "weak" and said "the official was completely out of line 100 percent."

"I'm disappointed quite frankly in the ACC because not only did he throw out two of North Carolina State's greats, he threw out two of the ACC's greats," Gottfried said. "The league is supporting an official rather than supporting former great players. The former great players, in my opinion, were embarrassed and wronged when they shouldn't have been. I don't think you can have rabbit ears like that if you're a referee and start throwing people out. I was disappointed in the whole thing."

Hess drew the ire of the NC State community Saturday when he instructed a police officer to have Gugliotta and Corchiani removed from their courtside seats after they mouthed off about a few calls that went against the Wolfpack. Corchiani and Gugliotta have since acknowledged they were critical of Hess but insisted they were not profane.

"We were taking the game in, cheering, yelling like I've done the past 20 years," Corchiani, a former all-conference guard, told Yahoo! Sports radio. "Never once did we say anything that was threatening, any profanity, anything that was even on the line. That's why it was so baffling when we were asked to leave."

The ACC publicly reprimanded Hess on Monday, but the official reason was failing to follow proper procedure. According to league rules, Hess only had the authority to ask the home team's management to remove a fan rather than having a Raleigh police officer escort Gugliotta and Corchiani from their seats.

It's highly likely Gottfried did not expect his pep rally comments about Hess to spread via YouTube and social media because they could result in a fine and at minimum will further strain relations between NC State and the ACC. Nonetheless, they will win him popularity among his own fan base because they reflect the sentiments of most NC State supporters.

The feeling at NC State is that an ACC ref would never have had ex-North Carolina or Duke stars removed from a game for hollering at the refs. And while most of the time the Wolfpack's redheaded stepchild complex is unwarranted, in this case they may have a point.

As a result of the uproar surrounding Saturday's incident the ACC cannot have Hess officiate another NC State game the rest of this season — and perhaps even longer than that. Fans have long memories when it comes to referees they don't like, and fair or unfair, Hess is not a popular man in Raleigh these days.

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.

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

based on the statistics - not really

you mean the statistics that had them shooting as bad or worse than we are? those statistics? the ones that were already posted a bit earlier?

or maybe another set of statistics that I might have overlooked.
