They can grab and push...we do it and...whatever, another three

[HuskerFever]

This is getting real old.

One thing I figured out tonight.  You just have to be a wuss in this game, and everytime the other team lays a finger on you, act like you were just hit by a missle and go flying out of the gym.

This officiating is so bad even Michigan got called for a foul during this game.

[Huskerpapa]

...and no contact...right.  Good lord, air ball from 15 feet?

[Huskerpapa]

Welp...let's play it out men. 

[Huskerpapa]

...and another missed lay up with no contact cough cough

[Huskerpapa]

WHAT, wait, a foul on Vitto Brown...finally, his first foul.

[hskr4life]

Even Shields drives probably wouldn't have helped us tonight with us getting no calls.  We have really loved the rim pretty well...

[brfrad]

WHAT, wait, a foul on Vitto Brown...finally, his first foul CALLED!!!!

 

I thought for sure they were going to call that foul on Jacobson.

[hskr4life]

LOL at Vito Browns stats.... ONLY against the Huskers.

Did the fans really chanting Bull S*it on that foul?

[hskr4life]

So... 

 

Watson with 16

White with 10 (COULDN'T AFFORD THIS HAD TO HAVE AT LEAST 16-20)

 

Needed that 3rd scorer and never got it.

Vitto Brown, F 6-7 3-3 3-4 0 5 5 2 1 1 2 1 18

LOL at Vito Browns stats.... ONLY against the Huskers.

6-7 FG, 3-3 3P, 3-4 FT, 5 R, 1 Foul, 18 Pts.

 

he's a 40 percent FG shooter, and 28 percent from 3. He does shoot 77 percent from the line and average 5 rebounds, though.

They're Wisconsin fans, what do you expect? Sadly (generalizing here), they're awful awful people - at least at sporting events.

[Huskerpapa]

Well, nothing much to say.  We went in with limited ammunition, and it showed.

[Red Don]

Shot ourselves in the foot with all those missed bunnies & lay-ups!

[brfrad]

Wisconsin SHOT 22 Free throws in the 2nd half.  Any guesses on what loving the rim got us?  FOUR!!

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that teams shoot the 3 well against Miles defense. There are too many good shooters in college these days. We will never beat teams like Creighton and Wisconsin if we just pack it in and give good shooters wide open looks

 

Teams shoot well yes... but no teams shoot lights out every game like they do against us.  10-15 right now.  

 

 

I would guess a team that has been to back to back Final 4's has guards that can make 60% of the 3 pointers they take if they are unguarded. It's almost as mind boggling as not playing zone against a team with multiple 7 footers when your team's tallest player is 6'8. It's stubbornness and that that stubbornness isn't getting results

[HoiBall]

At some point using all the analytics in the world don't mean a thing. Either you have players that can shoot the ball and score on a consistent basis or you don't.

[brfrad]

I will say if Penn State comes in Saturday and shoots 40% + from 3, the universe hates us.

Disagree... Wisconsin has not shot that good the whole year.  They were not a 3 point juggernaut the whole year like they were tonight.

Showalter and Koening are 2 guys we couldn't leave open.  They shoot 37.2% from 3.  They only made 5 3's.  The other players who took 3's were shooting 31.3% for the season.  They were 6-12 from 3 tonight, with a bunch of misses coming when the game was decided.
