Basketball: OSU @ Nebraska 8pm BTN

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

We interrupt this football forum with some Nebrasketball!

OSU 11-7 (1-4)
NU 9-8 (3-2)

Who ya got? I like the Huskers chance tonight.

They played Purdue tough, but I think we can pull out another close game. GBR!

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

Surprise surprise, the opponent can make their 3's against us!

OSU has struggled shooting the 3's this year.

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

2 fouls on Jacobson in 2 minutes... not good

 

[TheNewNU_rivals50820]

Perimeter defense continues to be our Achilles heel

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

Husker Game Plan:

Get them in the bonus right away so they can shoot free throws all night!

My God.

 

[jedihusker]

Wow, these refs have moved to a new level of terrible.

My God.

You actually watching the game? Maybe 2 of those fouls are legit, and that's being pretty generous.

Gene staritore is one of the refs, he's horrible

 

[TheNewNU_rivals50820]

Good to see the Huskers being agressive on the break

 

[bigboxes]

I'm watching. Had to view the game online until the Penn State/Indiana game ended. Awesome clutch shot by the IU player.

I don't know who called that foul on Glynn Watson, but that has to be one of the worst I've seen in a long time.

Watching on my tiny fuzzy phone screen... and multi-tasking on the computer, so not seeing every foul very well.

Chimichanga pushed with two hands. Didn't see either of Jacobsons.

Jacobson's first was pretty ticky-tack, could have gone either way (and has gone the other way when Nebraska has the ball, strangely enough). His second was a joke, had position on rebound and a hand on the ball, and nowhere else somehow got called for a foul. GW Jr's was a joke, drove into the lane, kicked out, and came to stop and basically nudged the air near OSU player, who proceeded to do a bad acting job and fell over, refs called foul. It was awful. 9 to 3 in fouls is a joke.

 

[TheNewNU_rivals50820]

Nick Fuller with his first career points

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

Webster!!!!

Gotta keep it up. Playing well but the fouls will surely hurt later in the game.

 

[jedihusker]

One has to wonder what this game would be like if it was remotely evenly officiated.

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

The and-1 foul didn't look like a foul at all to me, but waiting to see a replay after the commercial break.

 

[newAD]

Everybody's favorite whipping boy Fuller has been busting his *** out there.

 

[jedihusker]

Credit where it's due, they did finally manage to call a foul when they tripped Evan Taylor.

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

About as good of a first half as one can expect with the way the refs are calling fouls.

I bet they will call those fouls on OSU in the 2nd half to even the calls out...

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

Can't believe they actually saw it!

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

man, tai just gets wherever he wants.

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

really, this seems pretty similar offensively to the tourney run a few years ago.

 

[schuele]

Huskers doing okay, but need to get to the FT line. Into the 2nd half and they are just 1 for 4 from the line. Very tough to win that way.

 

[newAD]

Too many perimeter shots to start the 2nd. Well on the way to blowing the lead.

 

[bigboxes]

Not getting many shots at the line tonight and not making many that they take. If they want to get to the next level they have to make those.

 

[TruHusker]

Love Tai but man he plays terrible defense in the games I have watched. He is always late on the help, plays off to the side and reaches too much. He is tough on the dribble drive though.

 

[RealHusker]

Huskers need to make some freaking shots.

 

[schuele]

Even when his team is not very good, Thad Matta can still whine his way to a three-way tongue bath from Big Ten officials.

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

Not getting many shots at the line tonight and not making many that they take. If they want to get to the next level they have to make those.

x10

and they flat out need to get 20+ free throw shots a game. Getting under 10 free throws a game really hurts, especially when the other team gets 3 times as many.

 

[RealHusker]

It took longer than normal, but the double digit lead is gone.

Huskers simply can't make shots

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

no one but tai can buy a bucket this half

 

[schuele]

Please stop leaving the screener open for uncontested dunks.It's not like Ohio State is shooting well, they're just getting free passes to the rim.

 

[huskernaut_rivals292165]

Tom Eades read your post and said "hold my drink"

I think those two are constantly trying to one-up each other. Horrible

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

Gotta get Watson shooting in rhythm. When he's hot, he's hot.

Someone has to start making shots in order to get the rest of the team pumped up and confident on their own shooting tonight.

 

[newAD]

Shot selection has not been great this half on a lot possessions.

 

[RealHusker]

When was the last time NU hit a jump shot?

 

[RealHusker]

Can't hit shots. Can't defend.

 

[Hoosker Du]

Giving another one away with **** defense. Of course hitting 24% in the 2nd half isn't helping much either.
