Nebrasketball Game #31- @ Wisconsin: Sunday, March 6 1:00pm BTN

[Mavric]

If I'm following along with the Huskers while attending the SEC championship game does that mean It Just Means More?

[Wistrom Disciple]

Big Ten officiating once again proving to be a joke... No wonder this conference struggles when it comes to the NCAA postseason and real officials don't gift teams points and opportunities quite as much.

[RavHuskr]

Well refs are taking over the 2nd half.

What a joke 7 fouls less than 4 min in the half.

[TonyStalloni]

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

I just started watching at half.  I’m not much of a “bad official” guy, but this is some of the worst officiating I’ve ever seen.

Fred, just man up and call out the officiating after the game.  Take the fine and happily pay it.  It'd be the best use of your salary this year.

That called block they changed to a charge was inexcusable.  And I’m not a huge Verge fan, that that’s not a T.

My thoughts exactly! The ref running across the court to change the call from the nearside ref from a charge to a block is a red flag. I believe he was also the one with the thin skin who gave Verge the T for looking at him.

And I left out the jump ball they called in half a second with a badger laying on top of him.

True, though that one wasn't nearly as egregious as the T call or the charge to block change. 

Unfortunately, this has been too common all year and arguably several years now. It's great in protecting the tournament seeding for the teams that qualify, but generally sets the conference up to be disappointed with a bunch of upsets or early exits. This Wisconsin team might get 4th or 5th place in the Big East or Big 12 and yet they're going to win the Big Ten. 

[TonyStalloni]

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

[RichardHangslow]

This is just a Big Ten clearly sending a message that they want Wisconsin to stay at top

[Omaha-Husker]

Lord Wiscy has missed a ton of bunnies.

[RavHuskr]

Sweet Justice!  Chucky missed it and how this team fought to overcome everything today.  For as hard as we've all been on this team this year they never quit.

[runningblind]

Fred now has more big wins in a week than Frost has in 4 years.  They never quit either which is the excuse for Frost, but they actually have some big wins to grow from.
