[Husker] Nebraska 76, Iowa State 69

[Tony Lambert]

Bob, Maric was standing still both feet in concrete Holman lowers shoulder 
to create space and a blocking foul Maric not a tough call at all. But i do 
agree that the charge is a tough call but this was not a though call at all 
both fouls against Maric were b.s. call i thought.
