Us last 4 years- Why the hell do we end up with less than 10 FT!? Big 10- Maybe try attacking the basket more? Us- Deal! Big 10- That should do it! Us- Why the hell do we get over 40 points in the paint and end up with less than 10 FT? Big 10-

I know that blaming the referees is considered poor form, but Eades has a history with shafting Miles and the disparity, long before we started intentionally fouling was so egregious that I don't know how you don't file a protest with the league and get that crew removed from future Nebraska games.

You know, it seems like, if you look in the program and pick out the gawkiest looking dude on the opponent's roster, he's the guy who is going to have a career day against the huskers.

With a health EM we would have won this game. The last home game is now declared "Pay back time"

He is the guy this year that Miles sits for no defense. He was NOT the only one lacking on that end today

I hate Michigan Nazis.

Which would be fine if all we were doing was taking jump shots, but most of our points have been going to the hoop. The refs aren't even close to calling this the same on both ends

no f***ing sh*t. I am about to do something like drive to Ann Abor and punch some body.

That foul on Fuller was absolute bull spit!!!

Got some hard minutes from Fuller. That last foul was crap.

I would have put Fuller in just to hard foul Wagner at the first opportunity.

Husker fans- "Man what I would give to be able to score like Michigan sometimes." Michigan fans- "Man what I would give to be able to play D like the Huskers sometimes." Who is going to be able to either turn their game up or find some success in a different way is going to win this game.

Also the Avon/Mary Kay of makeup calls on McVeigh

Looks like another year of "every team has their best 3pt shooting game of the year against us" kinda year. Very frustrating. But these last two losses were winnable. If we play the same way against Ohio St at home and @ Rutgers we should win. I believe Michigan and NW are both better teams than the next two opponents.

There's really not much to evaluate in this one. One team settled for a soft, WNBA/Euro-style offense focused on jump shots. That team shot 30 free throws. The other team was the aggressor offensively for 40 minutes, with the vast majority of its points made in the paint through contact. That team shot 5 free throws. We could talk the impact of Ed's absence, missed opportunities, and turnovers, but all of those things combined are not nearly as important as the unbalanced officiating.

I think we got a little buffer. They'll wait until we are back to .500 or have a losing record

And we still only lost by 6. This was a tough one to watch. How many times did we go down by 8 or 10, just to get it back to a one possession game but unable to get over the hump. We were right there!!!

not when it's officiated like that

Two plays in particular show these refs should never do another game. 1) when a true freshmen knows a rule better than you do, it's time to retire. 2) They called a shot clock violation when Michigan gained possession of the ball with 2 seconds left on the shot clock, and rolled on the floor.

True but he was not they only one that struggled

This is the story of the game. Michigan needs to thank the three refs for their gifts.

Tom Eade's goes BOOM again. this time I like it.

19 of 22 from the line for the team that jacks up 3's. 4 of 5 for the team that drives to the hoop.

He defended and let the guy jump into him.

You know, I've always hated Ride of the Valkyries.

There is another gift freethrow. When are the three Magi showing up? Oh, maybe the refs are them.

I wish somebody would make MJ go up with the ball without dribbling once!

Gotta 'nut up' on defense. I'm sorry, is that an old term?

Wagner got away with a left hand push to complete the behind the back and gain position toward the basket. Basketball is easy when the rules are not enforced.

All in all down 4 is not all bad given how poorly we have taken care of the ball.

I want to comment on the photo at the top of this thread. If you notice, Woody is already being fouled by the Rutger's player. Right after this the Rutger's play absolutely floored Woody within 5 feet of the blond ref. She stared at them, swallowed her whistle and blithely trotted up the floor to a chorus of nasty comments for the fans on that side of the arena. If a ref cannot see that as a foul, I don't know what they see. rant over.

Nebraska wasn't going to win that game unless NU shot 65%. 'Boom' made sure of it, seemingly. I am probably more frustrated at the Husker D, definitely not worthy of the Blackshirt this afternoon. Not having Eddie was a total bummer.

Waiting for the TROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michigan outscored us 59 to 31 from 3 and the free throw line.

THANKS TAI I HAVE WANTED TO THAT ALL DAY

SEE HOW DUDES FORHEAD PUSHEDBGLENN DOWN AND NO CALL. MMMAAAANNNNNN

IMO we need to hide Tai once in awhile on D. I get that he's a great defender, but having to be the offense AND a defensive stopper for 40 minutes wears on him.

I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE WOMAN LOOKED LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE HAD A BABY WITH DERRICK WALTON SR. BECAUSE JR IS ONE UGLY MAN. GOT THAT BALLOON FORHEAD AND CHIN WITH THE SMASHED IN FACE THING GOING ON.

I believe VVVVVVVVagner now can officially go on a list with he who must not be named from Creighton, Aron Craft, that Dellvadova guy... any more?

Time to turn loose our foreigners.

Who knew? Fuller was the player we were missing on defense.

Freshmen struggling on defense. When they are in, we have to play zone. Wagner hates playing defense down low. Feed the ball to the post, and let Jacobson and Jordy go at him.

Looks like Michigan isn't going to pick this game to start playing defense. Bodes well for our chances

Tai's scoop at the end of the half was soooooo pretty!

Well, I thought we played poorly but we are only down by four.

Is it possible for them to call a technical foul on Simpson for flopping? That one was ridiculous.

Nice follow by Horne

Diaco is a damn good football coach. In fact the 2009 Suh led defense that everyone at Nebraska considers the gold standard of the last 15 years....Diaco's defense in 2012 was just as dominate. I wouldn't judge his ability to coach defense on his run at UCONN.

Apparently Mich coach doesn't go to the Chicagoland area to find talent. Oh well.

N - 72 M - 71 Roby triple double (points, rebounds, blocks)
