I feel like Jordy doesn't get enough props for what he brought to the game tonight (and really the last half dozen games or so)   I am starting to be a big Jordy fan!  #Normandie #RiskyRoadz

It’s a little after three in the morning after shoulder surgery about 17 hours ago and I can’t sleep cuz pain meds aren’t working real well.  When we were down 50-40 I texted my boys that however the

Maybe he just needs to claim the free throw line fouled him too, and they’ll let him do free layups.

Crazy turnaround - 

 

Wisconsin scores 1.83 pts per minute for the first 30 minutes ... then scores 0.8 ppm the last 10 - less than half the first 30 min

NU scores 1.47 ppm for the first 30 minutes ... then scores 3.0 ppm the last 10 - more than double the first 30 min

 

You just never see those kinds of turnarounds over such long time spans.

 

NU has had some crazy finishes under Miles - the huge comeback from down 13 in the final 7 minutes at Maryland last year, the comeback from 16 down at half vs Iowa his first year when he didn't sub in the 2nd half, and blowing open the NW game in the final 7 minutes this season. Also the comeback at PSU this season to get to OT.

 

But I don't remember flipping a double-digit deficit to a double-digit win in the final 10 minutes before and on the road, no less. NU has probably done it at some point, but certainly not with so much on the line ... and playing a 4th game in 8 days on 4 different courts. 

 

Amazing effort that shows how special this team is.

Speaking of that, does anybody know what Jorge Brian Diaz is up to these days?

He has a Wiki page.  Here is a highlight reel of his 2015-16 season:

And Nebraska basketball is now 7-0 on either zero-days or 1-day rest this season. Simply amazing.

Two points:

 

   1.  A lot of Roby's fouls come when he's trying to clean up after someone else's defensive error; and I hate it when a ref does the old Leslie Nielsen umpire routine from Naked Gun when calling a foul on the Huskers. 

 

   2.  One of my favorite plays of the night came in the last couple minutes:  one of Wisconsin's bigs got the ball in front of the basket, with no Husker in front of or beside him; he went up for a two-hand dunk, except that Watson, standing behind him, went up first and blocked it from behind!  Nebraska got the rebound.

 

Heck, it was Watson himself who came down with the board (and drew a foul at the same time).

If you are saying you would take Happ over Palmer, I disagree. We have the best player and the best team. Love it more!:rolleyes:

 

It was funny, the color guy I think was a former Badger player (no bias there, right?) and he had to eat his words a couple of times last night.  One was particularly hilarious.

 

One time, he made the gushing comment that Happ was far and away the best player on the floor.  Happ had just scored and we were having trouble stopping him and they started showing graphics of how close to his career high for points he was.  And I look down at my gametracker thing on ESPN a few minutes later and it's like, wait a sec, Palmer has scored one more point than Happ this game, so you wanna revisit that comment?  No?

 

The hilarious one was he was talking later in the first half about how the Badgers had to be pretty happy that they had a built up a buffer (i.e., had built a comfortable lead) in spite of maybe not playing the best.  And in literally the very next breath, the play-by-play guy says "And with that, Nebraska gets their first lead of the game."

 

Yeah, about that buffer ...

Stephen Bardo played at Illinois in the late 80s. I think he's calling a game tonight at Iowa, so I doubt he does a ton of prep. But he loves him some "man-sized rebounds." lol

Still insane to think just a few weeks ago we seemed destined for another midseason collapse.

 

With the Jordy debacle heading into the Penn State loss, I had such a bad feeling of "welp here we go again". But wow have we turned it around. With a nice little break to freshen up and a favorable schedule to finish the season we are primed for a strong finish.

Plus, Jordy looks ... serviceable.
