Parl Celini Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 That was THE GREATEST GAME in Nebraska basketball history. The best way to describe that game is going from a good game, to the best game ever (when we were up 11 points), to the absolute worst game ever (when we lost the 11 point lead in like 20 seconds), to the GREATEST GAME EVER!!!

GSG Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 another push is on the way to get "Nebrasketball" trending on twitter I don't know how you tell how well something is trending but there's a pretty good flow of tweet rolling through right now Quote Link to comment
Parl Celini Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Oh and possibly the worst officiated game ever as well. Whenever there is a shooting foul and the refs count the basket and give Texas back possession instead of shooting a free throw, you know the game was officiated by complete imbecile's.

PaulCrewe Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 A great game to a putrid choke job to a W is a W and ya take as you get them. I have bashed Diaz as hard as maybe a couple others on this board. After the first four minutes it looked as if I had more ammo for the kicking. He was getting pushed around everywhere and had his deer in headlights look. However, he played very strong from that point on, until the end where he gave me more ammo, but not today. Not to spoil this win. This team had every chance to roll over when Texas looked to pull away early up nine and then at the half, but credit to them they stepped up. My Player of the Game.....Andre Almeida. He played HUGE today. The announcers called his the "The Bouncer" I liked that as he controlled who came in the paint and who didn't. This is what I expected of him once he got into shape and I think we are going to start seeing a lot more productivity out of him down the stretch. Also gets mad props for playing smart once the fould started mounting on him. Runners up....Toney McCray and B Rich. Brandon knifed into the taller Texas palyers and owned the first part of the seond half. All was bigger because Jeter had a little of an off day with the fouls. Toney, we all knew he had games like this in him. If he can keep playing at this level there is a chance this team can make a very strong run to end the year. But let's enjoy this one tonight. We have all witnessed before the type of product that has followed a big win or strong showing in the past. Quote Link to comment

Whenever there is a shooting foul and the refs count the basket and give Texas back possession instead of shooting a free throw, you know the game was officiated by complete imbecile's. They didn't call a foul on the shot, the called a foul away from the ball. They counted the basket bc he was in his shooting motion when the foul was called. Terrible call bc the guy was setting a moving screen, but that is why the counted the basket and still got possession. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Gracing the front cover of sports.yahoo.com, and si.com Cover of CBS Sports College Basketball page. All these are picture headlines. Not one of the top five stories on the ESPN cover page, or even one of the top five stories on the ESPN college basketball page. Mentioned by headline only recently (as in <2 minutes ago) These guys are slow. Quote Link to comment

But still it was really bad job from the officiating crew. Sometimes it seemed the game couldn't go 5 seconds without a foul being called. Quote Link to comment

For the other 90% it couldn't stand to look at him. Quote Link to comment

No, the student section was all filled when I got there. I had to sit elsewhere. Kinda pisses me off now that I think of it. Would've been pretty fun to rush the court. Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I rushed. Got another video. I now have one for aTm and Texas, ill do my best to get them up soon. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Does anyone have a video of Doc getting red as a cherry in late 2nd half when Nebraska turned the ball over after it went out of bounds? In the NBA he would have been ejected and most likely fined for that Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Great win but we still get a facepalm for blowing an 11 point lead in 40 seconds Quote Link to comment
