Matter of fact I parked right off Rosalie, plenty of space and easy in and out. Did go to the "new" Bat 17 after the game, like the old spot way more.....

You have to be a veteran of the situation. I am . Otherwise, good luck.

I’m guessing if you get up there early they will let you at least drop off the senior right near the stadium while you park. If not, the hospital parking lot might be next best option I believe they have shuttles but it also sounds like an annoying lengthy process. Otherwise you’ll be walking a few blocks. Sorry for the problem. Hopefully East lot will be open next year.

Typical NU/ Chicago/ Cook County. Smallest stadium in the Big 10 and parking is an issue.

Cmon we have a generic line up and bench. What do you expect?

You are up by 20 at home to a mediocre team. Good grief. Nebraska was on a roll of layups and dunks for a long time. Love Matt but he is no better than he was 2 years ago. Just part of the problem.

He was only on the team for a couple years. With some controversy as well. Seems kind of dumb. Btw at the game today noticed two things—
Our few jerseys that have been raised are very small.
And for an alumni day, why not bring out the alumni players at halftime and give them a little recognition? Instead it was some local young dance squad (which is nice) but would have liked to have recognized the alumni.

Yes. I was expecting to see our basketball alumni recognized at halftime.

If so then sounds like he might not be there to backup QB in the fall. Following year(2026) I can see but this year without playing in a couple years?

He is not a QB in NU future. Period. Nor should he be. Good luck in baseball.

Disappointing but not exactly one for the annals. Bad teams lose games like this regularly. It’s the nature of the game.

I’m going top 10 all time but no higher. However, if this kept us out of the tourney this year… would have been top 3 for sure. Brutal.

Honestly don’t think this is even a top 3 tough loss this season. Iowa, Michigan, PSU all harder to take because we had the full squad and a lot more on the line at that point in the season. Sucks to lose a big lead but this game didn’t mean much in the long run and the team as currently constructed is unfortunately probably the worst in the league right now.

And historically, anyone who lived through the Carmody years can remember a ton of demoralizing losses when we were on the cusp of breaking through to the tournament that are way worse than this.

I was at the game today. My 7th game this year. We played 4 frosh today--Mullins, Gelo, Clayton, and Windham. Mullins came from a crud program and Clayton did not play much. Gel and Windham are true frosh. The only impactful frosh at guard I remember was Juice, who sat 4 rows behind me today, and MacIntosh. Sobo was okay. Frankly, I hope all 4 come back. None had ever been asked to contribute like they do now. They need to develop offensive skills of 500 3 pointers a day and put the ball on the floor. They can play defense. Windham has a B10 body. Mullins is quick and I think Clayton can be serviceable. They need to shoot, shoot, shoot, and shoot. I yearn for the days of Alex Olah, Pardon and Luka who could at least do something offensively in the middle. Martinelli is the only frontcourt player we have. Tough to win with only 2 players--Berry and Martinelli.

Guy was swinging his elbows hard. With the potential to actually hurt someone else. The groin hit really doesn’t cause any real damage to another player. Very bizarre rules, and strange they didn’t give us that technical, but that is to be expected from the refs and us. Also thought a foul on windham near the end should have been an offensive foul. Not sure what constitutes getting an offensive foul in college basketball…..

I'm interested in some of the coaching decisions in that Mullins, Gelo, and Berry all had success driving the base line, and even generated a couple of free throws doing so. It seems like something they should try creating much more often. Nebby was not good at defending them the handful of times they did it.

We didn’t lose this game because of refs. We lost because we have only 2 players that are legitimate scoring threats and we are playing at least 3 that wouldn’t be seeing any minutes on most B1G teams.

Thanks for sharing. I agree it wasn't just the refs, but they certainly affected the outcome of the game in an unbalanced manner. When Ty can't get free on several plays because the guy guarding him is actually holding him by both hips and when Nick is guarded by holding his elbow and pulling him around, and it happens several times with no call for either of them as the cats suddenly stop scoring because only three guys can move, it matters.

The cats also missed a lot of shots they should have made. It isn't all the refs fault. But they contributed enough to allow Nebby back into the game.

The elbow to the throat was a pretty egregious example of them hand waving away an intentional effort at injuring our players. Tell me ejecting that kid for the obviously flagrant II wouldn't have changed the outcome.

Feels like a bad loss because we were so far ahead but the points at the end count the same as points at the beginning so another close loss in a tough season to a likely NCAA team.

It sucked but was kinda predictable…and not costly. This season ended with the injuries, which hurts to say. Still hate to lose a game like that.

Meh, he's not doing well so far but I'm open to more summer development and opportunities next year for him.

This was a disappointing loss, but I don't see it as some especially bad loss given everything going on with the team. Cats were in a position to win and if, say, the refs had correctly called that flagrant two in Matt's favor I think we still win the game.
