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.

Damnit!

Clearly winnable. Just didn't make a shot when we could take lead or tie it up.

This game is summed up pretty easily. One team went 4 for 5 from the free throw line. The other team goes 26 for 30.

It's a "Blues Brothers" allusion, but sure, why not?

We are playing short of players and Horne doesn't see the floor in the second half???

This was a disaster game. We just were never on top of our game. We were playing just good enough to stay close. Three pointers and free throw differential was SIGNIFICANT. Sad. Sad. Sad.

Tai forced that

Bout time they call that crap! Been doing it all game.

I have one of those.

This game is really pissing me off. Between Wagner's stupid smirk and the refs' not-so-hidden agenda, I'm getting pretty mad.

True, but it is good to see.

Another wide open three given up

Apparently there are gravity vortices in Ann Arbor because the Wolverines cannot stay on their feet.

I wouldn't mind the scoring - I just hate the cheap play.

Also, what happened to verticality? Jordy went straight up on his 1st foul, the offensive player bumps into him and it's a foul?

Webster is keeping us in the game but turning it over at an Andrew White pace

We got this

Sounds like our defense is a pile of stinky do-do.
