It's kind of hard to run offense when the team gets to grab cutters. Our guys have two fouls called on holds away from the ball.

The player was in the arc, again (I know that is a rumored rule, anymore), and he was falling down before Taylor even touched him. It seems like every time we play these guys, they get called for close to nothing all game.

Not only that, but before Jordy touches him, the Wisconsin player grabs his arm. This is ridiculous. Nebraska touches a Wisconsin player and it's a foul. Happ shoves Okeke away from the ball, and that's not a foul?

If only Iowa would take Fran's intensity and relay it to the defensive end. They have to be one of the worst defensive teams in the country. Fran must decide that defensive play is a suggestion.

Ever since the MSU game, we have played pretty well defensively. We are allowing 71.1 PPG. The teams we have played during that stretch have avg. 80.2 PPG during the season. Keep playing defense, and we should be able to take care of enough on offense to win a good majority of games. We already played 2 of the toughest defenses in the Big 10 (MSU and PU)

Nebraska 70 Wisconsin 61

Purdue has about the top 10 of players in the Big 10 I dislike. Haas is one of them.

It's kind of tough when they guard Watson 90 feet, and ride him all the way down the court with no foul call. Then, Nebraska does the same thing, it's a foul on Watson.

Why was he allowed to take 4 steps?

It was off of Purdue, anyway.

He's on the list that should not ref Nebraska games.

So, how was that a foul on Watson? Purdue has literally done that the whole game.

Just not our day.

How was that not an illegal screen on Haas? He hip checked the defender.

Roby needs help like that last possession. Watson guarded the ball. Finally got it under 10

I don't like the call on Gill. Purdue's been doing it all day.

I will say the 2 this half have been legit.

How can you bobble the ball, let it hit the floor, regather it, and dribble again? Isn't that double dribble?

We're not going to face many better defenses than Purdue. We're not going to face many better defenses that can knock down the offensive guys without getting fouls called on them than Purdue.

It seemed like the last 8 minutes, the calls started going both ways. I think it might be some homerism from us, but it did seem like they were one sided that 1st 12 minutes. I would like to see us press some. See how they handle the press. See if we can get some easy baskets. Make the big guys run the floor. Wear them out that way. We actually haven't done as bad as I thought on defense. The shooting percentages are nearly identical. Where we are getting beat is on the boards. Has allowed 8 more shot attempts by Purdue. Clean that up, and we can hopefully be within striking distance at the end.

We have to do that. Purdue is pressuring us. Need to go backdoor. Then, press on makes.

It kind of helps your defense when you can grab the dribbler's shorts all night. I could play defense that way.

Do you think we could grab Purdue's shorts all day?

You thought he was because he was. That was NOT a foul on Tanner.

We need to press.
