Walker was in the restricted area and probably a half second late even if he wasnt

Both Verge and McGowens went completely tunnel vision out of control into the lane on the last two plays of the game. Verge’s was 100% a charge and Trey didn’t even put up a legitimate shot.
 

Bitterly disappointing but the referees didn’t lose this game for Nebraska. The two biggest sequences in the second half outside of Nebraska not making a field goal for 7(!!) minutes were:

1. Northwestern hitting a 3 out of a timeout on a possession which they got off an offensive rebound

2. Northwestern making the go ahead FT at 69-69 on the possession after getting an offensive rebound 

Nebraska continues to get worked on the glass and it directly relates to plays that cost us games. We HAVE to add more size going forward if this is going to work.

I agree that the referees did not lose the game for us. That said, their inconsistencies throughout the season were very disappointing. Given how fragile our team's psyche was for 90% of the year, we were not able to overcome the poor jobs. The number of times our guys got popped in the face the past few games without a review or call was rather disappointing. Zero doubt they are called if the jerseys were flipped. Reminds me of the football team's two year drought of not getting a holding call on opponent's offensive lines... reputation precedes us. Hopefully the Big Ten reviews what they're doing and how they are setting rules in the offseason.
