Nebraska (5-1) vs. Clemson (5-1) Game Thread

Sweet, precious true road win.

[Ron Mexico]

Huge Q1 win!!!

[HuskerBB]

Just rewatched that hit on Copeland.   Won't do any good but we need to send that somewhere for a review.   Clearly should have been an ejaction or at least a technical foul.  A ridiculously dirty play by Thomas - but away from the action so no one saw it.

 

Ultimately didn't matter because Copeland did not get hurt (I think) and we go the win.  But still wish they would discipline the kid for that or else he is going to keep playing that way and someone will get hurt.

 

Regardless - Great Husker Win !!

Was Tanner the only sub in the 2nd half?  Too many minutes by the starters!

No.  Nana played as did Brady.

BIG BIG BIG Win.  6-1 after 7.  I think we all would take that.

no QUESTION, 6-1 feels leagues apart from 5-2. huge for confidence, and we all know how huge that is for college players.

Akenten was in.

Oh my god. Been a while since a win like this. Constantly was waiting for something to go wrong and it didn’t. Great job boys.

Both Nana and Brady played also. Plus they dont play til Sunday. Theyll be alright

[Huskerpapa]

I didn't see the hit on Cope.  Heck, the kicks to Roby should be enough to kick him out multiple games.

[NUtball]

Great job to overcome the 5 on 8 disadvantage.  Three Stooges once again with their best effort to steal the win.

 

How do you swallow the whistle when Copeland gets mugged at half court and then hip-checked to the floor by that thug 14?

That bastage should have been thrown out in the first half after the multiple kicks to Roby's head and mid-section.

btw, do we have a collective name? how do you call us? not that it matters lol

[RexxRacerX]

This is going to be a really good win to have in March!

 

Phew, that shouldn't have been the nail biter it turned into.  Guys played decent tonight, could have given a little more in stretches, but overall played the way they needed to to get the W on the road.  Shout-out to the bench mob for coming in for some decent minutes tonight.  Nana and Borchardt really did everything they needed to tonight.  There weren't an excessive amount of stupid shots tonight, enough to still be frustrating, but they didn't settle for chucking up iso bricks tonight.

Also, have to give credit to Clemson for setting illegal screens on most possessions and only getting whistled once.

I will take an opposing point of view.  There were some bad calls.  We all saw them.  But overall I did not see egregiously bad calls, other than about a handful.

That's enough to make a 10 point win a one possession game.

minnesota popped on the tube next vs boston college. the eagle's only loss is IUPUI. oof. but good matchup anyway. 

[Fullbacksympathy]

Agree it was called pretty fair for 95% of the game.

 

Great straight up Q1 road win against a talented team.  

 

What a clutch block from Cope.  

 

JPJ was fearless.  

 

Gotta say it though:  we haven’t even scratched the surface of what we can be yet this season.  We were 10pts better than Clemson imo (and it should’ve ended up that way after JPJ’s dunk), but thrilled with the win.  The asswhooping from TTech and the scare from Clemson are both great lessons for this team early on.

But I am betting that Clemson fans are saying something similar.  Hey, all I am trying to say is that there are ebbs and flows.  Isaiah seems to be on all referee's radar.  Don't know why, but it happens every game.  

[Huskerpapa]

Jake is pumped and Kent is stunned.  Miles is just Miles...giddy as heck.

Of course they are, buy they're wrong.  I live pretty close to Clemson.  They're not necessarily known for their intellectual prowess.

 

I agree about Roby, he seems to be a marked man.  King of the ticky-tack fouls.

GREAT WIN!!!  I am not a "must" win guy at all in the early season, but that is definitely an "important" win!  SO PUMPED!!!

[TomEadesSucks]

What did JPJ say about Glynn last year when Glynn hit a couple free throws to ice a game? "He's just a scorer", or something similar.
