[Bugeaters1]

I'll take the loss in the HHC contest.

[cipsucks]

I think we have a good chance to win this game!  

[NUtball]

F#%@ Wisconsin.

[Bugeaters1]

12 wins, WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!

[hskr4life]

Let’s goooooo!  That is all.

[Huskerpapa]

Wow...what a great second half.  That was fun!

[Cazzie22]

Very satisfying victory.  We overcame a deficit and less than stellar free throw shooting.  Keita gave us some toughness and he and Walker in the game together worked.  Glad that Tominga didn’t let Wiscy get into his head.

Enjoyed reading this thread. Game ball to Cip today. If Chucky had hit that shot at the end of regulation, I would have predicted the exact score. Never have I been so glad to lose.

That's the way Wisconsin will make you play.  Gotta a feeling the Huskers have some runs in them.

 

Your gut nailed it

Did everybody enjoy that first 20 minutes of undeniable progress?

Turning point of the game right here

[Huskerpapa]

The Wisconsin dude in front of me was not happy with Wisconsin at the end of regulation.   Especially that once again, they relied on Choacky.

Watching on TV-- I don't think Greg wanted that shot either.  He appeared to be pretty upset with Chucky.  I would be too.  15 ticks and the best you can get is a step back three against a freshman?  Take it to the hoop.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Greg motioned for Chucky to drive it and attack. I’m glad Chucky tried to be the hero and jack up that shot. If it goes in, we are all even more pissed at him for leaving. We are talking about him the rest of the day. But, it didn’t…

It finally paid off for me. I had picked wrong a few times consecutively (before today).

2 TOs, a foul and -2 in points in first :49 of second half. Perfect. Great start. Just great.

 

 

Well, in hindsight, that's what got Hoiberg to insert Keita into the ballgame. Blaise then balled out, and resurrected a moribund program in the process. Long live the King, Blaise Keita.

Typical Wisconsin team. Instigate something, then flop and play victim. The worst type of basketball team. 

 

 

No wonder Juwan Howard wanted to lay out Greg Gard. Sheesh.

Walker and Tominaga.

 

 

Seeing them celebrate together in the waning moments of the ballgame was a beautiful thing. You love to see it.
