We need to come out in the second half with some renewed energy, get our big three going with solid contributions from our role players, and we win by 10. 

Oops, I was off by one.

Told ya’all, never any doubt. (Typed in sarcasm font)

[Huskerpapa]

Shock and awe baby, shock and flippin awe!

[Cazzie22]

Enjoy James Palmer Jr. for the next couple of months because he will be leaving.  Nice comeback and some good defensive work and thankfully Bucky shot free throws like a Badger.

[brfrad]

This is starting to feel like the 2013 - 14 season again.  Each game, I feel we have better than a 50 - 50 chance of winning.

ITS LIT FAM! WHOOP WHOOP! Here from twitter and after work.

 

I. AM. SO. FUCKING. PROUD. OF. THE. BOYS

I would say the guys earned a few days off this week...super impressed how they closed out the final of 4 games in 8 days.  Such grit.

the better team won. As we could and should've. If not for ted valentine and a badger zebra crew (new thing?), we win this one by 20, EASILY.

(this is partially my hype levels right now)

 

welcome new members of HHC, this is the feeling nebrasketball dreams are MADE OF. enjoy it. it's really fucking rare.

That's what tourney teams do!

 

This rings true.   This wasn't a team getting hot at home.   This was a team who just stepped up to a gut check when the deck was stacked against them.

you could argue this was the most impressive win of the year.

 

I'd argue it 

 

Very very crucial game for us though!

[northwillriseagain]

This was the best managed/coached game I’ve seen from Miles.

 

I’m really thinking we could use the 1-3-1 as our bread and butter for our small line up and really eat everyone alive.

Mostly, I see Nebraska’s small lineup in a zone like Syracuse, we are really long and athletic.

[colhusker]

Last year we quit when they got up 11.  This team has no quit.

Ha, sure, maybe I am a prisoner of the moment and forgot about that semi-impressive ?Michigan beatdown...BUT...to be down 11 on the road with 10 minutes left and your potential tourney hopes on the line and rally to win by 11...WOW

this is the pendulum swing game, the one that gives you some momentum. streak now at 3 games heading to Minnesota, which will be tough. The rest of the way this year will be tough. But I believe. and if we make it to the big dance, this time we have to make some noise. We haven't proven the ability to win against Tier 1 teams yet this year, but I can see the potential. Have to just keep ramping it up from here, because not every game in the postseason will be a big team brawl.

It’s true, without the hair trigger whistles, we still play mediocre and win by 20 at Wisconsin. Weird times, but the leaders on this team are gelling, and everyone is coming together. 

 

Scary how the ceiling has still not been realized.

I wouldn't mind beating a few Tier 1 teams in the Big Dance!

Could it be possible that we wore Happ down a bit?

 

He wore himself down.

Anyone hear Palmers post game interview? It was awesome

Yes it was...James, you have seven or eight days off, what are you going to do???  James -- there are no days off, I am going back to the gym.  By the way, happy birthday James Palmer Sr.

Yes, caught that...the leadership on this team is crazy good.  That attitude is contagious and is something the last several Nebraska teams has sorely missed.  To have Jordy quit and then the leaders step in to to not only get him back but welcome him back, that old me all I need to know about this team and its leadership/chemistry.
