[Bugeaters1]

Mast is a dude. And the game change when the Governor came in and shut down Pope.

Did I hear the announcers correctly? Twelve offensive rebounds in the first half?  That was a fun first half.  Great game all together.

[basketballjones]

I don’t mean to make too big of a deal out of that game. But that was huge. We always lose a game kinda like that in the non con that bites us in the ass. To completely take care of them is such a breath of fresh air.

Well, that's less impressive.

Having a bunch of adults who love rebounding is really fun to watch. 

[Busch Light]

That was fun. Great game, good win. 

[roscoe]

Good team effort. Nice to see the variety of offensive options including the 2nd chance opportunities. And like mentioned in 1st post Sam's defense and spark was huge. 
 

[Silverbacked1]

That was fun.  Not going to get too excited, just like I am not going to get to low if things don’t go our way

[Faux Mike Peltz]

what I love about this team is we can put lineups out there that actually have zero offensive liabilities. Historically we have always had one or two. W Gary able to hit threes, we have all 5 positions you can't leave open. And Tominaga won't have to go for 25 a game. Not even close, much more balanced this year. 
And this is one of the deepest teams I can remember in quite some time 

[Huskerpapa]

It was a good team win.  Oregon State had two pretty good players; but there was a pretty sharp talent drop off after that.  That said, we put our foot on their throat and made it a pretty boisterous environment. 

 

Glad I went.

[doc1394]

Fun experience. I think it was the first time this season the whole crowd got up and yelled when on defense. The beauty of the neutral site game is the people who show up care and show it during the game. 
 

Watching Allick, Gary, and Mast relentlessly pursue rebounds all season is going to be good for the soul. 
 

Hope this gets some excitement at PBA this week because they may need it to beat Duquesne.

There have been so many times over the years where you just look at the lineup on the floor and wonder who the hell is going to score?

Tall kid for Oregon St. who came in as a sub, #3 Gavin Marrs, well, his mother is originally from Henderson, Nebraska. That was a pretty cool experience for him to have a lot of fans in attendance in the heartland of America. And, conference affiliation-wise, I kind of feel bad that both Wazzu & Oregon St. as they are essentially being left to hold down things as the forsaken "Pac-2" going forward, but this season is still the full 12. Anyway, that's your fun fact for today's game that not many would likely know.

 

On a Husker note, great ballgame by NU today in Sioux Falls. My dude Brice Williams balled out & so did the defense for Nebraska, it was a game-changer during that 20-0 first half run that broke it wide open. GBR

This is very well put.

Met his grandfather.  He may have thought we didn't know where Henderson was; but he said he was from York.  Cool to greet him.  He was a very proud man!

This type of game is a unicorn. You need to play 10 points better than us to defeat us in the Pentagon

Accidentally subscribed to Peacock for this one as I thought I was just downloading the app.

 

Im sure glad I did— that was fun!

 

- Two double doubles in the same game… when is the last time that happened? Gary had 12/10… Mast 15/13.

 

- We didn’t even shoot it particularly well in this one.  46/33/61 splits.  We can do better on all of those.  
 

- Dominated the glass again and I think that might be a common theme as the year progresses.  44-31 overall and we had 17 offensive boards.

 

- Went to an Oregon St message board and they were pretty down on the team.  They weren’t high on us either.  Apparently one of their guys is working his way back from injury.

 

- Duq will be a tough test for us again but we should head into Creighton undefeated.  I’m pumped for that one since we will.

 

- That’s a huge week for us.  Creighton, @ Minny, MSU in a 7 day span.  1 win is bare minimum… 2 is really keeping the momentum alive and 3 is ranked team and start the games of interest thread.

 

- These are the types of games we’ve always should have won but always seem to allow it to be closer than it should and/or lose them.

I vote whatever NIL money was going to Sims gets transferred to Mast after Sims transfers out. 
 

Have to keep him one more year. 

[millerhusker]

That one was fun to listen to on the radio. The toughest test yet will be on Wednesday against Duquesne. 

[throwback]

My goodness - I thought we'd win double-digits-plus and the -8.5 was a gimme, but that was even more impressive than I expected.

 

And Keisei didn't even have an average game, let alone a big game. Nice to know we can play that way and he doesn't have to carry us. I loved Keisei's pass to Allick for the dunk in transition early 2nd half after he had just hit a 3 in transition and easily could've popped another, but he chose to look for a big man running the floor. He definitely doesn't do that this time last year.

 

There's a lot to like about this team. Very curious to see how things go Wednesday. DU is for real, and this is the absolute definition of a letdown/trap game, but our veterans should be able to help everyone stay on the right page. If we lock in again on defense Wednesday, I think it goes well.

 

We took advantage of a soft start to the schedule. It's a good time for a really tough test in DU.

 

[Huskerpapa]

It appeared to me that OSU came into the game with the intent to be more physical then us.  Early on they were all over Keisei.  

When the reserves came in, we ramped up our physical play, and from that point forward, we out hustled, we were more physical and out played the Beavers.
