For sure Nebraska didn’t play a good second half. They lost a 14 point lead quickly and had no clue how to beat 3/2 zone defense. On the other hand I can think of four 50/50 calls in the second half and none were called in favor of Nebraska and two obvious fouls that should have gone the Huskers way that either weren’t called or were reversed in favor of NW. Still not a guarantee the Huskers would have taken advantage of the opportunity but we will never know.

Offense was solid in the first half when NW was in man to man. They came out in the 2nd half in a 3-2 zone and those shots in the lane dried up and we were sporadic on outside shooting. There was a play in the 1st half where Bryce drove the lane and a NW player went to block it from the side and raked his hand over Bryce's forehead which knocked him off balance. Nothing was called. Walker had a play where he went inside and he thought he was fouled and when nothing was called I suspect he said something to the ref which earned him a T. Huskers played a terrible 2nd half but there were two calls in the last 45 seconds that to me were questionable. Walker tried to slide over on a NW player who was driving. His heel was inside the circle and a foul was called as slow mo showed Walker wasn't set either. Fine....two free throws. Then Verge drove the lane and it looked to me that the first defender was close to being set but it could have been a 50/50 call but I thought the second defender got Verge's arm before contact. Charging call on Verge. With 7 seconds left Tre was passed the ball and dribbles to the lane, tries to get off a shot that was tipped. No call which was probably ok. We didn't do enough to win the game in the other 19 minutes of the second half.

I guess that is my biggest complaint. Whatever they decide the rules are....just make it the same on both ends of the floor.

Both the non calls at the end were the same as was called on Walker a few seconds earlier. Defender still sliding under the offensive player. It also looked to me like the defender on Verge's left caught his arm before contact.

I want to know who found the voodoo doll Frank hid before he left that put the curse on mens athletics!

Karma baby!!

Huskers trying to overcome the refs and pull within 4. Go find a W vs Whisky.

The Big ten once again protecting the highest seeded team. They aren't going to let the Huskers win.

There seems to be a concerted effort to recruit O linemen. Most within the 500 mile radius too.

It was so much fun to see the Huskers play so well! It's been a long time coming. Good on Fred, the coaches and the team for not mailing it in.

We were outmanned as we are in nearly all Big Ten games. The Huskers didn't quit. If we had another three point shooter beside Wilcher it would help open up the lane for the drive.

F'n Bohannon gets tapped on the side of the head then 2 seconds later falls down grabbing his eyes.....and gets the foul called.

We have too many players with NO basketball sense. No awareness when a ball is tipped and on the floor, no willingness to get on the floor for a lose ball, no desire to box out.

The new coaches are lining up their QBs. Harburg, Smothers and Torres better start looking around and get their bags packed.

There are reasons that coaches should not have relationships with players and I'm betting it is part of a code of conduct that is part of their contract. Coaches determine playing time and when a player needs to be taken out of a game. If that judgement is skewered by the coaches feelings for one of the players then his loyalty to his head coach, the university and the other players is in question.

If it's not football or anything to do with Ohio St then it is ignored.

When it rains it pours. How many opponents this year have shot a deep three at the end of the shot clock, had it hit hard off the backboard and go into the net? This is ridiculous.

Minnesota’s coach was more than gracious in his post game. The Gophers aren’t the most talented team but they rarely turn the ball over. He complimented our defense and all phases of our game for taking them out of their game plan.

This kid looks like a pancake maker. A couple years on the weights and he should be ready for the Big Ten. For a kid who only played football one year he did well.

I have never gone by brand name. Always by fit, comfort and function. I have found Adidas fits my feet better than any other brand. I also haven't bought any apparel for the purpose of displaying a "brand" in 30 years.

Remember how badly Mich beat us last time. We had no will, no effort and no expectation of beating them 6 weeks ago. Tonight was different story on most fronts (we still don't have an answer for any decent big). We still have warts but this was a better effort.
