What Is Wrong with these Refs????

Good Charge, (but not quite good enough, the Kans player got up.

We can't miss those shots (and put-backs) and win.

Thomas Allen Ties it UP! GBR!

Ref are not going to give us anything; we are going to have to Earn this the Hard Way!

Why are the refs so Blind when Husker Players are Fouled? (Maybe they are just so amazed at our (unexpected) play they are just oblivious!) (or Kent & Jake are such Homers they see things that aren't there)

Post-Grad?

What! You only have One TV?

Thank you for the perspective @Miles ahead of the rest. Being out-of-state and not knowing anything about the parties involved, I would be all to ready to believe the worst just based on the picture printed by the LJS.

Heres A Second to Hud's Post.

Here ya Go! I do like it better!

Looks like a lot of folks seem to think there's going to be an upset @ PBA this Saturday! 18 of the 35 entries so far predict a Husker Win! (maybe Jimmy's reverse psychology will work. ) GOOOOOOO ROCK THE VAULT

Nope, not possible! (Not the Same Officials! - I looked it up )

As Butch (Cassidy) Might have said: "Who ARE these Guys!"

Here's a quote from RedSteve in the Drake Game Thread! Everyone seems to have stepped up their game. Good Teams seem to make each individual player better.

Congratulations to Coach Molinari on his induction into the Illinois BB Coaches Hall of Fame! An Honor Well-Deserved!

GRIT; NO QUIT HUSKER LADIES!

Thanks Bugeaters, best view yet (from the opposite side of the ESPN replay view and from the sideiine would be a little closer to the players). I was able to slow it down on my Ipad but the resolution was not fine enough to prove definitively one way or the other. From this view she could have touched the ball (again, if so no more than a feather touch). Anyway, it's all a moot point now.

I went back and re-played the game last night (ESPN3), re-watching the throw-in (several times). Because of the inability to play frame-by-frame I could not see any definitive evidence either way to prove that the Drake player touched the ball, or did not touch the ball (Who knows what the refs were able to discern, supposedly having frame-by-frame capability; were they able to see where the trajectory of the ball had been changed, or even the spin rate of the ball? How closely did they look?) Nor did I have the benefit of the Husker Announcers (Neulion (Husker.com) dropped out at the exact moment Nicea's ball went in the basket). The ESPN3 announcers were useless, only parroting the officials' pronouncement. FWIW, my personal opinion after re-watching the throw in is the Drake player did not touch the ball. The Drake player had reached the peak of her jump and had definitely started to descend at the time the ball was still going up. If the Drake player did touch the ball it could not have been more than a feather touch as I could not see any change in the ball's trajectory. As an aside, the officials showed little interest in reviewing the immediately prior play, i.e. the missed free throw resulting in Husker possession of the ball, to determine the proper amount of time that should remain on the game clock. But, I suppose all is well that ends well. they did go to overtime (twice) and instead of having the game end on a what 'may-have-been' controversy, the second OT ended in a definitive win for the Huskers..

How Strange, but I also experience the same gauntlet of emotions; But maybe over a somewhat lesser period of time - - Like every game! But, I also now believe! I think we are well within the reach of 20+ wins; and a return to the Dance! Oh, and as to the Above:

Nebraska 84 Kansas 81

And looking at the Box Score it looks like we really out-played them in almost every area (except FG % & FTs). Rebounds; 58-50 Assists; 21-18 (and Drake was one of the leaders in assists per game avg) TOs; 11-18 Blocks; 7-6 Steals; 11-5
