Our favourite Nick Bahe: (Sees CE going to the scorer’s table) You know what the Huskers really need to do is bring on CE to space the floor. (CE siting at scorer’s table)

Play by play: That’s just what the Huskers are going to do.

NB: (Thinks to himself…I’m a frickin’ genius!)

NB: You’ve got to get the ball rotated to the weak side for the 3. That’s how Creighton crushed…(voice trails off and and he is sniffling, wiping away tears…)

BB with the dagger baby. Nick turns and looks at his bench

GET THESE GUYS SOME BLACKSHIRTS!!!

[hskr4life]

Stretching the lead with Bryce and Gary on the bench right now!!

[Huskerpapa]

Flipping turnovers

[hskr4life]

That was a less than stellar stretch for Morgan there.

[hskr4life]

Connor's shot looks a little flat to start out here too.

This game has more streaks than a pair of underwear after a visit to a Taco Bell.

[CanadianHusker]

Be strong with the ball and play good D and the victory is ours! Need BW and JG on the court in a big way.

Or Amigo’s!

We cannot let up on the D end. We're not going to get a ton on offense and that's ok. We HAVE to stay locked in on D.

[Bugeaters1]

Berke pull his nut again?

[CanadianHusker]

So moving screen rightly called on backside 3 by giant baldy. Same thing a few minutes later and right in front of him, and it’s a clean play. 
 

And Meah gets taken out and it’s a foul. Gets taken out on a screen and no foul. Because…B1G refs!!???!!!

[CanadianHusker]

BW was fouled by calling the foul from 25 feet after it’s a miss is my least favourite call in the game. A foul is a foul. 

[hskr4life]

This is not a day for CE to be cold.

[CanadianHusker]

Rollie! No!!! Yes!!! I mean yes!!!!

[B1G Red]

Got em right where we want em. 

[Cazzie22]

Baskets are a rare commodity.  It looks like it could be tight to the end.  If one team gets hot then the game may get out of reach.

Mick Cronin is college Jim Weeks.

[rwhiston]

Keep trying to get Brice to the basket. There's been some open cuts too. 

[Silverbacked1]

What are these guys ranked because they aren’t any better than us!  
both teams are way, way,way tough on D. 
Aren’t good shooters and are willing to run their sets. 
it is like looking in a mirror 

ww are okay just need to get Williams some drives. Because they will foul him and I like our chances to get some points there

 

[CanadianHusker]

So…what do we need to do in the 2nd half to win…

1. Be strong with the ball.

2. Play tough D. 
3. Hit some 3s.

4. Stay out of foul trouble. 

5. Keep JG and BW on the court. 
 

And Can I just add that I absolutely despise Cronin coached BB teams!!!’ They were thugs at Cincy, and now UCLA has brought their historic tradition and beautiful style of BB…I mean thug ball to the Big Ten. 
 

Crush Cronin and GBR!!!!

 

And my 68-64 NU win seems a little optimistic. First one to 55 wins!!! GBR!!!

For as physical as that first half was, it's wild there were only 6 fouls on Nebraska and 7 on UCLA.
