I feel shell shocked

[Huskerpapa]

Well that sucked.

[HuskerFever]

We could have went into half with a 2-point deficit.

[raider40]

[Huskerpapa]

Reoccurring theme it seems when we play opponents

We're allowing someone who looks like an extra from half baked, go Shaq on us. It's not surprising, but it sucks

We suck

No we don't. Just caught in a bad matchup today.

Sucks to have to play at such a disadvantage, both with the fouls and height.  Big 5 point swing to end the half.  It'll be tough to overcome now.  Kids will continue to play hard.  The mountain may be just too big to overcome today, in more ways than one.  Keep fighting is all we can do.

I take it back, we are really good

Dude's got lottery talent, just doesn't always play like it. Today he is. Doesn't help when there's not anyone within four inches of him in red.

[Silverbacked1]

Only down 9 and play a really crappy first half. Hurts to not have Shavon in. Also need to press a bit more. Need to still drive, they will foul or we can kick. They aren't all that better than us. Just bigger.

teams that shoot 3s or teams that 3/4 of the team are taller than xerxes

Tai has made some crucial mistakes and we've had some defensive breakdowns like on that 3 by #14 with less than two minutes left in the half.  That being said, we are not being outclassed by Purdue. And, do Big Ten refs call 3 seconds anymore? Hammonds and Haas have both camped in there on numerous occasions.
