The Wildcats need to do a better job on Trice and Davison if they're going to have any chance of getting back into the game. They also have to find some additional scoring, whether it be from Taylor, Law, or Pardon.

Yep. Davison and Trice combined for 8-11 shooting and 21 points.

They’ve gotta take care of the ball too. They turned it over nine times in the first half.

They are hitting even contested shots and when we’ve pushed them off their spot. Wisc shoots like that from perimeter they are nearly impossible to beat at home.

Yay - can’t wait for more Happ-worship by these refs.

- Happ is allowed to reach his foot out and blatantly kick an entry pass, then jump on the ball.

- Falzon is simply trying to hand off the ball and Wisky defender initiates contact, illegal screen call on Falzon. Happ is all over the defender on Davison, setting a ball “screen” by leaning on the defender and moving his feet the entire time. No call.

- Davison moves his feet when Law is already in the air, without the ball, and moving away from the basket, and they get a BS charge call. Happ lowers his shoulder consistently, never gets an offensive foul.

- Happ has shot more free throws than NU as a team, and Happ currently has... zero personal fouls. Sounds about right.

Just another big ten officiating screw job against NU, nothing to see here. BTN commentator crew won’t mention it, that’s for damn sure.

Maybe a couple calls not going our way but the difference in the game is that Wisc is hitting jump shots and we are not.

NU should just shoot 3's the rest of the way. They can't hit a snow storm w a broom.

That possession that led to the AJT charge was such a surrender by all involved. We're down 14 with 5 minutes and no one wants to shoot. Brutal.

It was more than a couple this game. Two very questionable calls on Vic. The Davidson kid dove more than Greg Louganis. The no call on the Happ kick of the bounce pass...atrocious. The AJ Turner charge....really a poor call.

Now, there were a couple calls against Wisconsin as well.

The refs were a bit full of themselves. They are supposed to facilitate a basketball game, not put on a show.

Maybe so. But that didn’t determine the outcome. Wisc hit shots and we didn’t.
