Report reply Nebrasketball1979 1,953 Posted March 1 At the end of the game I understood why Lawrence was called for his offensive foul. But then on the very next play,.that same call is not made against Battle. That summed up the officiating for the game. huskerkid21, brfrad, BigTate and 9 others 12 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Report reply hskr4life 11,038 Posted March 1 This loss doesn’t put us in the last 8 in the field category just yet. However, we aren’t cemented just yet either. Thankfully most bubble teams are taking losses right now too which is helping us stay out of the most bubbly group. Win Sunday and then take the week off to rest up before we go win in Michigan. basketballjones and roscoe 1 1 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Report reply CanadianHusker 195 Posted March 1 OSU wanted it more tonight. Love this Husker team! Love these coaches! And I would also love to see them play TOUGH home and away. If they can do that the rest of the way, there is a Sweet 16 coming soon. If they don’t, they are going to have to shoot lights out to win. And they didn’t tonight. GBR!!!

As long as it is called the same, I can live with it. Tonight, that was not the case. And, it seems to involve having one of the following refs, DJ Carstens, Curry, and/or Kelly Pfifer. I never heard of the refs Sunday, and I thought it was a decently called game. Jock Farmer 1 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Report reply HuskerFever 10,953 Posted March 1 Very much a "I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed." type of outcome tonight.

Report reply throwback 3,375 Posted March 1 If you're going to go minus-17 at the FT line, you have to do better from the 3-pt line than we did. That segment at the end of the first half killed us. Probably a different game if we're up 5-7 pts at halftime. BjoeHusker 1 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Report reply nuhusker7 414 Posted March 1 Quad 1 game on the road against a team playing as hot as anyone. More than a few shots that rolled in and out of the rim. Questionable at best officiating. And we still had a real chance with 3 minutes left in the game. That being said if we don’t take as many bad shots, don’t make dumb fouls on the far end of the court, and don’t get mixed up on defense a few times we win that game dispute the bullshit. Very frustrating, but not a big deal at the end of the day. HuscurAdam and HuskerMB 2 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were at least 3 plays where we were in the right position, but the ball went right to Ohio State for an easy put back. Combine that with poor shooting, not a good recipe.

Report reply HuskerMB 12 Posted March 1 Although we had a few chances to steal a win, B1G officiating is so frustrating to watch. They are intimidated by home crowds. It's hard to overcome that kind of free throw discrepancy. Also, I hope we never see Battle again. He seems to always play well against us no matter what team he is on. I told my buddy earlier today that Battle was going to have a career night and sure enough, he shot lights out. I'm not sure why we didn't put more pressure on him, but it is what it is now. With that said, it's one game, move on and beat Rutgers. Still have plenty to play for. GBR! Norm Peterson 1 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Report reply Norm Peterson 14,129 Posted March 1 Big Ten officiating is embarrassingly bad at times. The inconsistency from game to game and even half to half is so frustrating. And there's zero accountability. So, they can remain bad and never get called out. Who among us can be that shitty at our jobs and still be confident that we will be protected from criticism?

Report reply Busch Light 155 Posted March 1 I rarely drink on the weekdays but I was slamming blue yummies ready to celebrate when I seen their PG was out. All we had to do is not let Battle go off. So now I’m drinking my sorrows away. Not overly worried but tonight would have clinched it in my opinion - a quad 1 road victory is cash money. Have to win the next game. I think we will.

Report reply roscoe 359 Posted March 1 I've been saying for quite a while that pressure doesn't start until 9 conference losses. If only get to 20 wins in regular season need to win 1 or 2 in B10 tourney. And maybe it's just me but sure seemed like broadcast was pushing for tosu to get into tourney.

Report reply tcp 2,859 Posted March 1 I was really unhappy with what sounded on the radio at least as a team that kept hitting the cruise button on the steering wheel way too early with too small of a lead. you can't play that passively and expect good things to happen. we win when we're the aggressor. tonight we never really were. I'm actually surprised OSU didn't beat us by more. Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carstensen, Doug Sirmons At risk of belaboring the bad officiating take, we had 3 guys with 4 fouls; they had no one with more than 2. Final foul disparity was 21-9. Ohio State got whistled for half of their usual foul count. One more thing: If Lurch was bald, he'd look like DJ Carstensen.

Report reply AuroranHusker 7,803 Posted March 1 Of the last three regular season games, that was the one Q1 opportunity so it was a bit of a chance to get a B1G win but it doesn't kill NU either. Oh well, gotta take care of business in the final two Big Ten games, though .No question about that. Oh, the refs were garbage, there I said it. Ohio St. will get boat-raced by the Huskers when the Bucks are not given a 20-FTA advantage, that is, if NU were to play them in the BTT.
