The Polish Rifle Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 We now have the same amount of road wins as NET #10 BYU (Projected 5/6 Seed). Theirs are worse than ours as well.

He gives us things nobody else does. So happhy for him that he had a game like this. He is a big part of our future as well hopefully. In his postgame btn interview he said coming off the bench is what turned his game around. He likes that role. Goodness if he keeps that up and if CJ could find his mojo, this may be a fun month. millerhusker, roscoe, BjoeHusker and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a very up and down season and picked a great time to figure his role out. Even though he didn't start, he played most of the second half and closed the game. Great perseverance on his part. His biggest play tonight? That sweet, sweet dish to Gary inside. BjoeHusker, Cazzie22, CanadianHusker and 12 others 2 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 It's nice having that guy who makes clutch plays all the time. Sam Hoiberg is just a wizard when it comes to that.

I'm not banking on it, but there is a more than slim chance that we could head into the BTT on a 7 game heater as the 3 seed. jason2486 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another very underlooked play was when he went to the ground to dig one out while it was still very close. I think Ware was involved in the play.

HuskerBB Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 We really needed our most athletic players (Brice and Jamarques) to step up when Indiana made that run and the refs let the game get physical - and both of them really did. Great to see. I know at least 7 of our players have been the guy that the TV crew selects to interview after the game (basically a view of the player of the game). Only one in the main rotation I am not sure about is Sam - anyone remember him being in that spot. Regardless it is really amazing how we seem to have different guys step up from game to game. A really balanced team which makes us hard to prepare for I would think. Norm Peterson, Cazzie22 and NUtball 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskerpapa Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Just ponder this for a moment, what happens when we play a full forty minute game. We played about 30 minutes tonight. But once again, that first 20 minutes was awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be a very tough team to scout on short notice. Some might call our defense junk, but it's different than most teams run and it's effective. And how do you game plan for 7 different guys who can uncork from deep? jason2486, NUtball, CanadianHusker and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post royalfan Posted February 22 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 22 We need PBA to be completely rocking these next two home games. Playing 2 very dangerous teams and can easily lose to either of them. The average fan might not realize it.

Faux Mike Peltz Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Awesome to see J Law have his best game of the season and maybe his career. Everyone else brought the energy tonight. CJ wasn’t great and Mast didn’t have much wind in his sails, but other guys more than covered. A great team win!

throwback Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Loved the way our guards were willing rebounders - especially Lawrence - that made a big difference and let our big guys tie up their big guys, rather than focusing on grabbing the ball. They still got us on the boards, but without that effort from our guards, it would've been a lot worse. When we went to that small-ish lineup coming out of the timeout after IU cut it to 3, I thought the coaches were crazy, but that was just the right antidote - swarming their big guys got them out of their comfort zone and let us stretch the lead back. Brice was so good after IU cut it to 3. Lawrence was too, but -- to dust off an oldie but a goodie -- that was Brice figuring out how good he can be. Nice to show some grit on the road after IU made its run. Bodes well for these final few weeks. Now 24-10 over our last 34 games. That's insanely good.

jason2486 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 While looking forward to the rest of the season, the 24-10 mark since last February reminded me how similar the last 2 rosters have shifted the culture. I hope these 2 rosters are Fred's blueprints going forward. While a little different from one another, lots of similar qualities! Especially on the heart/giving great effort side of things.
