Hugely disappointing finish to the season (at least all of it that matters). Iowa decided they were not going to let Brice beat them - and all credit to a terrific effort by Juwan - out team did not step up. FWIW Brice just never got untracked today either. Other teams manage to focus their defense on our scorers - but we all too often seem to lose track of the other teams shooters - probably because of the constant switching in this system. Iowa also recognized when those switches caused favorable matchups - the younger Sandfort going to the corner when Sam or Rollie were on him knowing they could not block his shot even if they go there in time. Ultimately if Sam is taking 9 shots you know our offense isn't working and when Connor (our designated "shooter") goes 0-11 we are going to have a hard time beating anybody. From a season perspective Brice and Juwan clearly deserved better support and I feel bad for them. Two Husker greats in my opinion. With the possible exception of Berke all of the transfers ended up being major disappointments. We have to do a MUCH better job in the portal this year or next season is going to be very bleak.

Partly - but I think the bigger problem was the inability to pass. Juwan broke open on cuts several times this game and we only threw it to him twice. Once he stood under the basket all alone jumping up and down while Sam just dribbled the ball on the perimeter. The thing this team missed as much as anything was the ability to pass. Wooster is average at best and pretty much everyone on the team would be a below-average passer. (Morgan and Meah would both be WAY WAY WAY below average.)

Really proud of the team and the effort tonight. Another absolute gut wrenching loss that just makes me sick to my stomach and feel so bad for Brice and Juwan. Those two really deserve to get to the tournament again. Hard for me to have just watched this game and have people saying now Ohio State is in and we are out. Not sure how one of these teams gets in and the other does not - especially when you the "out" team was the road team in a double OT loss. Hate to complain about the refs too much in the posts on this thread. But the absurd flagrant foul call on Brice was just a gift of four points to Ohio States that obviously ended up being crucial. Then to have a kid slam a ball on the floor and have it bounce 15 feet in the air and not get a technical foul call is equally absurd. That is supposed to be an automatic T call - the taunting at least is one you can argue as being subjective - the ball slam is not. Finally to miss the blatant dead ball travel at the end is inexcusable. How could 3 refs not be looking at the guy taking the ball out of bounds - or not realize that on a sideline out of bounds you can't move around. There is just no way to explain those obvious mistakes by the refs. But bottom line I hope the team sucks it up and puts it to Iowa on Sunday. Brice and Juwan are all-time Husker greats and they deserve an outstanding senior day !!!

Again an absolutely obvious easy call and they don't make it. NO EXCUSE FOR THAT !!!

He had a couple big offensive rebounds toward the end of regulation. Since then Brice has taken virtually all of our shots.

Hard to have a more obvious Technical call foul than that one - and they ignore it

Most of the time I don't think Brice is selfish enough - but the last several possessions no one else has been involved at all. We need to at least have the other guys doing something other than watching Brice.

Do they really just have 8 team fouls in the whole half and OT?? Guessing we have about 18

Can't believe Brice missed the FT he has been so good from the line late in close games I thought sure he would make both of those.

How big does the gifted 4 points tp OSU on that ridiculous flagrant foul call look right now ???

Can't believe that went in ??

Sam just can't guard their guards at all.

Can't complain about that one - obvious - and very stupid foul by Connor.

Another story of the season. He has to lead the league by far in most times being fouled without a call.

Story of the season.
