Sloppy play. And yet I'd have it no other way. Welcome back, Nebrasketball!

at least we are getting them in foul trouble?

 

need to get some defense on the threes

[MichHusker]

Absolutely no flow

Juwan has been a non factor so far

Have to applaud UT Rio Grande Valley's free throw defense in that first half.

Wouldn't have been a problem if they had installed a state outline on the floor.

We are a work in progress.  I kept waiting for a back door cut against their defense. The Vaqueros are athletic and defend.  If they keep making a reasonable percentage of threes they will be in all the way.  

[Nighthawk]

If we play like we did the last game we should have a nice second half.

Brice a quiet 10-11 so far though.

It's too early in the year for a "just win baby" post... but here we are.

It's "Just avoid sour cupcakes" season.

So one ref had a foul and one had a travel. how do the refs know that the travel over rukes a foul call?

[brfrad]

It's good to see Kelly Pfifer in mid season form.

 

The floor seems to need some work.

4.3.13 States that whenever a simultaneous call between the lead official and the trailing official happens with one official having an infraction on Team A and one on Team B than the call that goes against Team Nebraska shall take precedence.

Fred was right.  He said the Vaqueros were dangerous.  Hope that Brice is ok.  We aren’t the quickest team and we will need some consistent scoring options other than Brice.  Keisei provided so much spark and energy that is clearly missing.

Conner Ess3gian's 7-0 run on his own took the game from a 69-65 ballgame to an 11-point lead in a hurry. Much needed spark. Either Ess3gian or Griffiths have to go off for double figures, or it will be tough for NU. Fortunately Ess3gian had 13 last night, so it was 'in the bag' in the end. Really enjoyed seeing Worster (since I missed the exhibition) go to work. He's a bulldog.

Essegian's 7-0 run in 42 seconds felt vaguely familiar.

And it was much needed with Brice not on the court, for certain. We need Conner to be both efficient and an offensive spark.
