lol god, what a horrible game for a win! i'm glad they won this, I really am. It was clutch, in spite of Taylor's best efforts twice to get that L.

 

This team really has so much work to do before I get giddy. Remember, this was an Iowa team that was picked in that bottom layer of the conference hamper with us, too.

 

Our home court advantage is sketchy as hell.

 

Oh well, they finally survived the bright lights test. And I know I should be happy about that. And maybe I will be tomorrow.

 

If you ain't happy... you ain't Husker!

 

3-0 Dang it!

[Fullbacksympathy]

Iowa is a very talented team--as talented as we are.  They are playing well.  That was a much bigger win than I think we might realize.  I think they end up with a winning conference record.

I as giddy as can be

[GATA]

For a double-OT game, I really feel like we clearly were the better team.

[Red Don]

Huskers win in 2OTs;  Jimmy's Meds Make the Difference!

I don't but this conference has depth as always.

 

Every night is like this.  That's why our start is so important.

Peter Jok is going to drop 30 once in awhile in the league.  He's gotta be the clear cut B1G POTY.

 

But man... Tai is a first teamer.  Glynn is all conference.

Maybe you're right. They have obvious talent, but I don't think they're anything better than average right now.

They actually really remind me of us.  I thought they looked like a mirror image in many ways--very young and talented with a tough start to the year.  I was very impressed by their young bigs, and Jok is a monster.  They're going to get some wins in conference play, particularly at home.  They looked very good against Michigan.

Holy cow what a game!  Do we have anything left in the tank for Sunday?  We seemed gassed at times in OT.  Hopefully coach goes easy on them for a few days.

Not a lot of running needed to practice FTs

Watching Tai defend Peter Jok -- with four fouls, no less -- probably took five years off of my life.  Even though PJ went off for 30+, you've got to admire Tai's work tonight.  Tai and Glynn are an absolutely superfluous backcourt combination.  I lose sleep thinking about what this team might be like next year if Tai had one more year of eligibility...

Well they sure don't make it easy to go 3-0 in this league.  My goodness!

Free throws I think.

Boxing out got better as the game went on, Free Throws it is

Glynn had a more efficient game than Jok

 

Jok  12-24 FG's 5-11 3 PT's 5-6 FT's 6 REB's 5 AST 1 TO 34 PTS

 

Glynn 11-18 FG's 7-8 3 PT's 5-6 FT's 3 REB's 4 AST 3 TO 3 STE 34 PTS

 

I think Glynn is pretty strong minded since he came off the bench.  Since the benching, he is 32-79 (40.5%) from the floor, 15-23 (65.2%) from 3, 25-31 (80.6%) from the free throw line.  He is avg. 20.8 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 3.0 APG, 1.5 A/TO ratio.

[Swan Ronson]

Goodness gracious, what a win! Tough night for Evan Taylor, but I really like that kid. Played his butt off on defense all night and especially that last possession after the missed free throws. GBR! 3-0!!

Tai played 49 of the 50 minutes so he should be gassed

hahaha! I prefer to think of it as "rational", but I can understand the confusion.

[No Place Like the Vault]

Best win at home since no sit Sunday by a mile

But you do need legs
