We drive... like we haven't all year... and aren't getting calls.  Man... its tough to watch the team do what we want to do and not get fouls called on the drive.  I can see why we settle for threes.

[hskr4life]

Roughish first half... Down 5... Certainly not where we want to be, but we are right there.  Need to come out with energy the second half.

[Red Don]

34 - 29 PSU @ Halftime.   Petteway with 16 pts; Shields - 10; Rivers - 2; Benny - 1.

 

FTs:  PSU  4-6;  Huskers 7-11

PSU was called for 12 fouls compared to our 5.....

[HuskerFever]

Five points, folks. Five points. I don't care if Petteway and Shields are the only ones that score this evening, just as long as we score more points than Penn State.

[Red Don]

This game is embarrassing! Seven blocked shots and o for ten from non Petteway /Shields teammates!

PSU is a veritable blocking Machine under the Basket!

Yep... saw that... a lot of those came early, and then we kept driving and the whistles went away.  Not saying we got screwed like other games, just pointing out it could of been a lot more.  Seems like they would drive and get the call.... they just settled for jumpers.

I have never, ever seen a media timeout between free throws. How dumb. But that's what happened.

[hskr4life]

Also another irk of mine... the Newbill push off is about as bad as the Petteway push off sometimes.  They called it once and swallowed on the other two.

Too many turnovers. They have 9 blocked shots...an occasional shot fake would be great.

 

 

(That's also Benny's problem when he steals and tries a lay-up)

[huskerbaseball13]

Nice Petteway. Real nice.

[hskr4life]

Damn Petteway... I know we aren't getting calls but ya gotta shut up.

[Red Don]

A lot of non-calls, finally TP gets a Technical due to being tired of getting fouled.

Something has to be done about the inconsistent officiating!

[Huskerpapa]

Well...crap!

[huskerbaseball13]

One team wanted to play today.

Terran cost us this game with his bonehead tech.

Our season in a nutshell right here...

 

We can't hit our shots... Don't get a call or two... get a dumb T... Other team is on fire... They shoot lights out... We play D... they shoot and still make it... Game goes down the drain

[Noah121]

It's not over yet, but it is looking more and more doubtful.

[Red Don]

Petteway's complaining isn't doing us any favors.  Opponents (and refs too apparently) know if you keep frustrating him he'll beat himself!

[49r]

Fortunately, we'll be able to avoid being embarrassed by Iowa twice in less than a month.

 

Unfortunately, we won't avoid being embarrassed by Penn State.  Which might be worse.

There is always next year. This team needs to practice shooting in the offseason.

I am not all convinced that a T cost us anything at this point...check out the offensive stats for us vs. Penn St...that is what is causing us grief...just saying.

[brfrad]

Why don't we press? It worked too well the first time we played them?

[Huskerpapa]

...and we are only down by a dozen

The score was 40 - 35, and when we got the ball back it was 45 - 35, then we have to sit him, and have no other offense.
