No punches were thrown, nobody got hurt. An arm was extended for a shove, feelings were hurt, and the officials took the enforcement stance over just cooling tempers. Seems Hoiberg took the "cooling tempers" approach here.

I've got a similar viewpoint with much of what you said in your full post. But there is one point to address where we may defer a bit. "Refs suck. So what. Be better. Overcome. Teams that go to the NCAA tournament don't whine around and cry about the refs..." Sure. Agreed. But there's also some NCAA tournament teams who have had their dreams ripped from them from some questionable officiating calls. (Or, on a lesser scale, like ejecting a head coach from the game against Baylor and forcing a team to overcome much more than what was happening on the court.) An imbalanced officiated game is like telling one team they're playing flag football and the other team they're playing tackle football.

Yeah, that sure was something else...

I would go even further and say the officiating was just fine. We need to learn how to be tougher...and make shots. I'm not one to blame the refs in a game. You have to adapt and play the game given to you. But 75% of free throw opportunities (~45 to 15) is kind of suspect. And when a team goes 19 game minutes without a foul, that's an anomaly, especially in college basketball. And even with all that if Bryce makes his free throws, we win. That is all.

Buy yet you cant. This team had multiple chances to end it and didnt. Gonna be a long next games. End of regulation. Second OT. Third OT. All points in the "end of game(s)" we should have found a way to win but threw it away.

Overalls - 68 Candy cane pants - 78

Constantly asking myself:

Submit predictions below.

Kind of stings to hit 100 and still lose.

Should we just scrap this game?

Ten blocked shots for NC State. Ten.

Verge is such a selfish player.

Maybe a basket?

Half of the OT has passed. Zero points.

Well there's the drought we all know so well...

Bryce in the Top 5 for leading freshman scorers. "Yep. We're going to lose you."

"We're a live or die by the 3 point team..." Nebraska - 24 NC State - 12 Points in the paint.

We also can't have nine different Nebraska head coaches in basketball and football since the Osborne and Nee eras, but here we are...

It was all part of the negotiated agreement for KC to get their NWSL team back. KC gets the team and a new stadium in exchange for losing in the playoffs to RSL.

Tigers and Coyotes, oh my! This week consisted of Ohio Valley and Summit League challenges and, well, we didn't lose either of them. So there's that. We haven't found a way to play inspiring basketball through three full weeks of the season, but maybe that time will come. The real test starts in December.

Kansas football currently has the opportunity to get as many wins as Nebraska had this season (21-21 3rd quarter vs. West Virginia. Let that one sink in for a minute.

You could probably make some good money if you start sharing the weather report from PBA to the parking lot around the 5:00 mark left in the game. Just saying.
