The only explanation that I can think of for such consistently great shooting against us at WR is that teams have the utmost confidence when they play us….Or they just love our court….Or that that they have more fans in the stands than us.

FLASH POLL: should I watch the second half?

Context: I did not watch the MSU game and we won. I watched Penn State and Maryland and we lost. (But I also watched the Maryland win and didn’t watch the first MSU loss.)

Ok I’ll tune in thanks all

Home crowd is making a difference, even if those fouls on MN were pretty pathetic. You can hear it on the telecast.

PATHETIC call on Nicholson block!!!
I say it every game but B1G refs suck. They’re absolute garbage. Both fouls on MN were garbage and directly led to 4 points. Young has 9 shots in the paint tonight and has shot 2 free throws. He’s been hacked on half of his shots. It’s ******** and I’m not going to stop whining because it pisses me off more than anything else. Changes the game.

So frustrating to watch guys play hero ball and jack up terrible shots with 10 minutes to go and 20 seconds on the shot clock. Stay in the offense, set up a shot. When it works (Roper's three), it's beautiful. If you have to throw up a low-percentage shot, at least let it be later in the shot clock.

We’ve gotten it down to 4 a few times and have put up poor shots. This possession needs to be different.

Nice to see NU students being allowed to show up again instead of ridiculously being kept away

Ryan Young has had an absolutely brutal stretch. Missed layups and FTs. We'd probably be tied if he just made those.

Not sure why you guys want more time for Ryan Young to miss more wide open layups. His lack of leaping ability is unbelievable.

How many free throws has young missed seems like he's missed enough to have taken the lead

Just heard today from the BTN studio

“NU, It’s not about a quick shot, it’s about a good shot”

“Talked to Brian James before the game, asked for more Young and Nance together”

Funny, never heard anyone complaint about Beran missing shots on 6-11 from the field. Or that he’s totally absent from the game because he’s tired. But yes, Young is the problem. For sure.

More of the same. We took a bunch of horrible shots, and the refs screwed us at every opportunity. Not sure the latter changed the result, but both are getting old.

Refs screwed us but we also didn't make the plays to win.

Audige looked at Collins, then ran to foul him. No guarantee the ball stays in bounds, and then Wisconsin missed both FTs anyway
