Ohio St. (17-10) vs Nebraska (14-13) Game Thread

[49r]

That was the most horse shit officiating I have ever seen. That was an embarrassment to the Big Ten conference and the GD NCAA.

Thad Matta should be embarrassed to claim the victory tonight.

We need to get stronger.  We have to deal with the inconsistency of the calls down low.  Lyle was just way too big for us to handle in OT.  We have to learn that contact is called differently when we take it to the rim.  If we don't get a foul called, we have to learn to finish.

Poor coaching down the stretch.  Two timeouts and two horrible plays drawn up

Can't argue with that. Plenty of chances to win this one.

Wouldn't have mattered. Don't kid yourself into believing that this game was on the up and up. There was no way the officials would have let Nebraska actually win. They were going to do just enough to give this outcome.

 

Some one else the same as you do.

I should not have listened to Miles post game show.  Just said on the last possession of regulation that Benny was trying to call timeout, and the ref said he didn't see him!!!!!!!  He didn't see much else.

[brfrad]

White couldn't make a shot.  We can't have him 3-17 from the floor and 2-10 from 3.  The 3 W's (White, Webster, and Watson were 10-42.  That's not going to cut it. 

 

We need Shields back, big time.  (However, his replacement, McVeigh was 5-11 from the floor.)

I have a tough time blaming the officials when you have a team that shot 27% from the field and half of their attempts came from three point land. Just brutal. And ugly...ugly basketball. It's looking like another year of under .500 ball.

It's a young team that hasn't found a way to win the close games.  Outside of MSU in conference (which we gave Valentine way too good of a shot at the end to beat us), we've ran away from teams.  We've been in every one of our losses, I think Dirk said if we can avoid a 20 point loss in the last 3 games, it will be the first time since Barry's 1st year where we didn't lose by 20+ points in conference play.  That's a positive.  Now, we just have to learn what to do down the stretch of games to win.  Watson isn't big enough to get to the rim, yet.  He is not big enough to shoot 3's over a team like OSU for a last shot.

Well, that will make five years out of seven as well as nine out of seventeen seasons at 0.500 or below. At least we should be used to it.

Would like to see a screen shot of Watson's last shot in regulation

[brfrad]

In that video, you can see Benny talking to the ref right in front of him, I'm assuming trying to call timeout with 5 seconds left.

Most likely the same ref, who didn't SEE it!!

 this play made the not so not top ten on ESPN.

Couldn't happen to a bigger prick.  Man, I wish we were able to shoot 2 more free throws, when Thad Matta is flat out yelling at the ref.  The ref just yelled right back at him.

If you turn up the volume on this you can hear whom ever is taping say"oh my goodness"

[Silverbacked1]

Not sure but my son who was at the game said the guy who rang up Tim is the same guy from the other night. Not sure if that is true, but that would be interesting wouldn't it?

Miles took the heat, said he earned the t. 

 

We seem to go as Watson goes.  Watson is shooting 29-58 from the floor in our 6 conference wins.  3-9 from 3.  6-8 from the foul line, has 20 assists to 7 turnovers.  In our 9 losses, he is shooting 35-99 from the floor.  6-28 from 3.  6-9 from the free throw line.  16 assists to 10 turnovers.

If it wasn't a foul, it was a travel by Watson.  There is no way this OSU beats MSU or Iowa.

[brfrad]

White's stats in conference games

 

Wins:  44-76 from the floor, 20-42 from 3, 19-26 from the line.

 

Losses: 49-115 from the floor, 22-58 from 3, 18-26 from the line.

Miles has to get his point across to the refs without getting a tech.  He cost us a point, which probably cost us the game.  I understand the other coaches get away with crap.  I think they could throw a chair across the arena, and the refs wouldn't give them a tech.  Miles has to learn he is getting a rep as a whiner.  He does not get a long leash with these refs.  It cost us a game tonight, and very well cost us a game against Maryland.

Uhh, no it didn't. The refs started calling more fouls on OSU. In fact, the T helped NU stay in the game with the variance in FTs being altered in NU's favor after the technical.

[brfrad]

Our guys on the floor in OT:

 

Benny

Glynn

White

McVeigh

Jacobson

 

Benny is the only guy with positive experiences in close games down the stretch.  We need to close out these winnable games (NW, Ind, Mary, Mich, and now OSU)

It seemed pretty close in the 1st half on fouls being called.  I think OSU had 4 1st half attempts, Nebraska had 0 attempts to that point.  It should have been a defensive foul.  It didn't seem to have that much of a difference, as OSU was in the bonus with 13 minutes left.  You can get your point across without getting T'd up.  I'm not saying these refs were even average, they were terrible, but this is now the 3rd game in the last 6 when he got a technical.  That one made free throw could very well have made the difference between us winning and losing.

 

These refs were extremely inconsistent.  White gets called for a very questionable moving screen, because the OSU guy flops.  Later, I think it was OT, when Watson gets screened, does the exact same thing as the OSU player did when White screened him, and no call.

It was obvious the calls were favoring OSU. Miles probably told the ref "call it both ways." That's nearly an automatic T. It was earned. And the calls did get slightly better thereafter. That single point did not cost NU the game. Remember White bricked 2 FTs when OSU was called for a technical. Many times tonight I commented during the ballgame that it was a miserably called game by the referees.

 

Both coaches were not pleased, and both coaches get T'd up. I doubt that Miles truly is targeted, I took it that Miles *knew* that a T was forthcoming. It didn't 'cost' NU the game, that's extremely inaccurate to suggest it did.

Like most close games, you can look at a number of plays that "cost" us the game. I don't remember when it happened, but I think it was OSU'S last possession in regulation. They missed a 3. We had 3 guys with a chance to secure the rebound, none of them could. They go onto make 2 FT to force OT. What happens if the refs actually call the foul when OSU bear hugs Watson on the last play? What if they call the obvious flagrant one on OSU when White went for the lay-up and the OSU player never went for the ball? Miles' last 3 t's have been questionable, but you can't do that to the team. I love Miles passion, and energy. I love it for the young guys. He needs to tone it down just a little bit.
