‘I’m great with that stat line from Ramel unless he shot it 15 times to get six points and turned it over 8 times. Hoping he is working on PG skills with AU probably out.

 

also Ulis bet on Iowa football not hoops, not clue if that matters

 

 

Didn't shoot it 15, but did 12. Only one turnover though

Thanks, 6th most minutes isn’t great either. Hopefully he is learning. Nice to see Gary get time and hit a 3.

 

Cale had 8 TOS though. Will be interesting how this shakes out in the fall

Lol thats funny that you said that about Ramel. He was 2/12. 1/10 from 2, 1/2 from 3, and 1/4 from FT line. He did have 4 assists to 1 turnover though

Rice Leads Huskers to 86-83 Win

Eli Rice had a game-high 20 points, including three crucial free throws in the final 25 seconds, as Nebraska posted an 86-83 win over the Valencia All-Stars Wednesday evening.

 

Rice, a 6-foot-7 freshman from Gallatin, Tenn., made several winning plays in the final minute, as the short-handed Huskers secured their second win of the trip. With the score tied at 83, Rice grabbed a pair of offensive rebounds and was fouled on the second attempt with 18.8 seconds remaining. After missing his first attempt, he sank the second one to give NU a one-point lead.

 

Valencia missed a long 3-pointer on its next possession before Rice grabbed the rebound and was fouled with 4.3 seconds left. The freshman sank both free throws to make it 86-83.

Valencia called timeout to set up a final shot but a long 3-pointer was short in the final seconds.

 

Rice’s 20-point night led five Huskers in double figures. C.J Wilcher finished with 19 points and eight rebounds, while Brice Williams added 16 markers and a team-high five assists. Cale Jacobsen (12) and Jamarques Lawrence (10) also finished in double figures. 

 

All nine Huskers who dressed saw action tonight, as Ramel Lloyd Jr. grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds and dished out four assists. The Huskers out-rebounded Valencia, 56-46 despite missing three of its top four frontcourt players, while Juwan Gary played just 13 minutes as he works back into game shape after shoulder surgery in January. NU held Valencia to just 31 percent shooting, including 14-of-56 from 3-point range, and forced 17 turnovers in the win.

 

Nebraska took an early lead midway through the first quarter, using an 11-0 run, including 3-pointers from Wilcher, Rice and Jacobsen to build an early 17-7 lead. The Huskers eventually stretched the lead to 22-9 following a Rice free throw, but Valencia used a 9-1 run to get within four and trailed 26-18 at the end of one period.

 

In the second period, NU stretched the lead to 31-18 after a Williams basketball but the hosts trimmed the lead to 38-35 with 2:55 left in the half. NU used a 6-0 spurt to stretch the to nine and took a 44-38 lead into the break.

 

Nebraska, which never trailed after the 11-0 spurt, was unable to shake Valencia and led 69-60 leading into the fourth period.  Valenica stayed within striking distance and was down 80-74 after Jacobsen’s basket with 2:38 remaining before making one last run. They used a 9-3 surge to tie the game on a 3-pointer with 45.4 seconds left before Rice’s heroics saved the day.

 

The Huskers will wrap up their trip in Spain on Saturday when they play in Barcelona. Tipoff is set for Noon (central). Follow along on Husker social media channels for updates.

If he took the Huskers, he'll get the book thrown at him.  Maybe they can get a change of venue to Lincoln.

Drake team with no Tucker DeVries and partially playing starters beat this team by 3 as well.

 

 

[hhcmatt]

I legit forgot Jeffrey Grace was on the team

[hhcmatt]

Nifty.

If Vegas allowed betting on whether an Iowa football game would be boring to watch we'd all be billionaires

Brice had a great looking stat line.  Those threes will drop.  Assists/steals/blocks from the wing = yay. 
 

Eli is a man.  Glad he can shoot fts.  Looks like a kid who can manufacture points.

He also sang part of "Should I stay or should I go" in Spanish.  I'm not sure if if the words were correct as I did not pay attention during my two years of Spanish in high school.

I think it's Mick in the background of "Spanish Bombs" singing "O, mi corazón." They both do OK, considering that working-class British accent.

Great album, no matter the language!

[throwback]

Up 22-10 after first quarter today. Might be have a breather of a game for a change and play some of walk-o .... never mind.

 

 

Now 32-20 at half - CJ with 9, Lawrence with 8

Edited August 5, 2023 by throwback

[throwback]

82-62 final 

 

Rice 16

Wilcher 14

Jacobsen 13 with 9 ast and 9 reb

Gary 13

 

Considering how short-handed they were -- and just plain short -- things went about as well as they could go on the trip. May have found a surprise big-time contributor or two ... and may have learned one or two guys who were expected to be big contributors may not be able to help much, if at all.

 

Going to be very interesting to see what they do with Jacobsen in a couple of months. Also will be interesting to see what they can find for a PG in the portal when they get back.

Juwan Gary fails to score a point per minute. (13:20 minutes, 13 points)

 

Cale Jacobsen fails to get a triple double.  (13 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, 3 turnovers)

Gotta be more aware of your stats Cale! Come on man.

Yeah, go rip away an extra rebound from a teammate, manufacture an assist, get it done...
