Report reply doc1394 335 Posted March 4 By my count the last made bucket by someone other than Tominaga was with 11 and a half minutes left in the game. Hope we don’t have a crew that lets the game be played like that in the NCAA tournament NUtball, throwback and Vinny 3 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Report reply throwback 3,377 Posted March 4 (edited) There was a long stretch of that game where I was afraid the three blind mice show was going to let RU's efforts to turn it into a football game be successful and do serious damage to our NCAA tourney hopes. I know the refs have allowed a lot of hand checking against NU all season, but tonight was the worst yet, especially at home. Then all of a sudden they blow the whistle on almost every possession the last 7 minutes. Just god awful and definitely not a style that fits what we do. Having said that, we played so hard that RU just couldn't find easy shots. Our half court defense was tremendous and made up for an inability to get the offense going. Rebounding, too - we were as good as we've been on the glass all season. And I know we didn't make any FGs the last 6 minutes, but we got to the FT line a lot (wish we'd have made more). Possessions that end with FTs are just as good, if not better. It'll be good to get some days off now to gear up for the stretch run. What a season so far, but we've got more work to do.

NCAA Tourney? It'll be a first round home loss in the NIT. I can't handle this stuff. Quit saying this won't happen, blah, blah blah. Start saying this will happen. The Huskers WILL be in the Sweet Sixteen! The Huskers will be in the finals of the B1G Tournament! It's not that hard just to say it. Speak it out loud.

Just reread your post and see that you did say “regular season.” Good point, and quite an accomplishment especially considering our recent history (and non-recent history).

Report reply Ron Mexico 1,004 Posted March 4 Fouls were essentially even. Very quite 18 for KT. Struggled from 3 and still found ways to score. Key stretch in the 2nd half. Up by only 6 and KT gets an and 1 then his only made with an and 1. Also, really liked how we played down the stretch. Used up clock. Don’t care if we didn’t score a bucket.

Exactly - I was thinking the same thing as that game unfolded. I gotta think the hand checks will get called tighter in the NCAAs, but who knows. I guess the good news is we've seen all kinds of styles - so we should be ready for just about anything.
