I Want To Address Something...

It has happened many times maybe not so much in big time ball (high school for sure) . Didn't it happen in Hoosiers ?? That the team has fouled out down to 4 people and the game goes on .
 
4Guys. Think Dick's Last Resort, but anyone with a peanut allergy dies in the parking lot.
Went to DLR in Baltimore several years ago and our waitress was BRUTAL. It was awesome. You definitely can’t go in there and be thinned skinned or not have a sense of humor. Our same waitress has some chick at another table in tears but she just kept dialing it up even worse. It was great.
 
exactly, he's the one who's singing the fight song in the press box. All the bad things you hear about Nebraska media, is stemmed straight from Sipple.
In his post game podcast, Chad Leistikow said that during the game, the Nebraska press contingent were openly cheering for the Huskers. Whatever you think of journalists, this is a big no-no (ordinarily).
 
nebraska was gassed. That's why they couldn't make a shot in the last 10 mins. They had no legs because Iowa ran them into the ground.

Their two inside guys had 11 pts total between them, 5 for 12 shooting and 0 for 11 from three.

nebraska had 2 guys in double figures, not a recipe for success against Iowa.

They shot 34% from three.

They had 10 turnovers vs Iowa's 5.

They got beat plain and simple. It wasn't the refs, and it wasn't the "four on the floor" play. BTW, I love that "four on the floor" is a new catch phrase that I'll dream about for the rest of my life.

4OTF wasn't what lost the game, it was just another nebraska-eque, embarrassing flub that made them look stupid in front of 50 million people.
Clearly the refs did not decide the game. Near the end of second half we had one foul and they had 2. Somewhat surprising low totals but speaks to the game being called same way for both sides

Have to admit you don’t see the 4 player thing often but that’s on Nebraska. Last time I saw it was in the movie Hoosiers. Enjoyed it there also
 
Yeah, I mentioned this in another thread. How can you run into a shooter with your body and no foul is called.
It looks like one of those plays that if he makes the basket, there is no call. If he misses, the refs call a foul 2-3 seconds later. That makes me crazy!

I had a really pissed off Husker screaming at me because we only had one foul. Gave me the double birds a couple times and then stormed out.
 
Wow. Like it was your fault! Sore loser much?

Going in to the game, those fans thought they had it. Until they didn't.
I was right above the tunnel the players took off the court, and I was loud cheering them at half after we pulled within three. Had a couple Huskers jeering me, scoreboard chants, the works. "You won't keep shooting 60% from three" they said. I shouted "Twenty minutes until you're rescheduling your flight home." They were nervous as hell after we hung with their offense.
 
Mashburn was saying on the post-game that one of the Nebraska players should have stepped over the end line to stop play. Aside from the rule quoted by Fry (and let's face it, the refs might have stopped it even if it didn't interfere with the play), if the Nebraska players had that kind of awareness, they would have had 5 players on the court.

Just a bunch of dimwits on the floor and on the bench

Ben has players that can think on their feet quite well

In addition to being physically in excellent condition

Game Over Fools

"four on the floor"

Would make a very nice T-Shirt

Been that way on the football side forever... I'm sure Chad wasn't surprised.
