Timforthewin Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 This board's been quiet lately so I'm gonna pose a question. What is your Mount Rushmore of the least talked about but best moments of Husker Basketball in the last 20 years? From the perspective of the amount of emotion you felt when it happened, regardless of where you were. For me this is what I can think of: 1. Steve Harley finding Ade Dagunduro for the game-winning lay up against Creighton in 2008 2. Jamel White with the put-back dagger against Oklahoma State in 2006 3. Charles Richardson Jr vs Texas Tech as time expires at Texas Tech in 2008 4. Joe McCray putting up 23 against Arkansas Pine Bluff in his debut (because of the great false hope this gave at the time) Nothing came of these moments but still great to think back on Handy Johnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handy Johnson Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 I can think of a couple: - Andrew Drevo raining down 3’s to Beat Minnesota. - Beating National Runner Up Michigan by 20 in Lincoln. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroranHusker Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Nate Johnson pull-up J to defeat CU 71-70 in Omaha in the first round of the '04 N.I.T. That had been the last win over CU in Omaha for Nebraska, until Dec. 2022, when Sam Griesel, Juwan Gary, and Derrick Walker led NU to a 63-53 win.

k3s3i Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 maybe it’s just cause they happened recently, but beating cu at home this year, and little hoibergs game sealing steal were both great. and i was in the house for both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuscurAdam Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 These aren't all moments per-se, but underrated memories of my time watching Nebrasketball... The first play that comes to mind is Nana Akenten diving on the floor for a loose ball, causing the already juiced-up crowd to erupt in NU's 2019 home win over CU. Everything about watching the 2009 Doc Sadler team of mighty mites play. I've never seen a team play harder to make itself competitive every night despite such a glaring size disadvantage. Chucky Hepburn missing the attempt at a hero-ball game winner this year was nice. It was obvious he wanted so badly to stick it to the fans, and he failed miserably, which brought me great joy. Mikki Moore dunks...all of them. Watching his high-flying dunks from the student section played a huge role in me becoming the Nebrasketball die hard I am to this day. Extra Credit: The Andre Almedia Experience. "The Brazilian Steakhouse" was just a fun "what-if" character in the NU hoops story. basketballjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh42 Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Not a game moment, but when Isaac Copeland transferred to Nebraska is up there for me. One of my favorite players as well. BjoeHusker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmykc Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Just off the top of my head: 1. Bobby Moore hitting a half-court shot at the buzzer to beat KU at BDSC(1/27/79) 2. Tom Wald hitting three clutch free throws at the end of a game against Michigan State for a victory(12/10/94). 3. Ronnie Smith hitting a game winner in Manhattan (2/4/84) to win a day game there. (I had to look up the dates-I usually have enough trouble remembering today's date) Edited May 29, 2023 by jimmykc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hskr4life Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Making Myles Leonard cry... although we set off a chain reaction that led to Bruce Webber being fired, going to KSU, leaving KSU at the same time that Keyonte Johnson was transferring and then going to KSU.... That's so Nebrasketball. tcp, Huskerpapa and rwhiston 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
