Brice and Juwan were awesome tonight. Rollie's reliability was huge with Sam, Connor and Ahron all struggling offensively in this one. 

 

I have no idea how that Oregon team beat Alabama, San Diego St and Texas A&M on neutral courts.

I did not make it home in time to catch anything but the last few seconds but as a Husker Hoops fan getting a ranked road win after sitting in Allen Fieldhouse earlier and getting to hear another team do their chant after years of hearing Rock Chalk in the BDSC was a pretty good day

Obviously a solid & much needed win. Really hard to figure out how the defense can look so much better these past 2 games vs. the previous 4-6. The rotations, the hard doubles & then closeouts on 3pt shooters…I mean, I don’t think Oregon is a great team, but we made life pretty difficult for them. Why does it seem so night/day different?

Juwan was a -1, thats hard to figure out.

 

That is a good example of how the +/- thing doesn't make sense as a game stat.    Juwan was a huge positive factor in this win.   There are too many other factors can impact =/- in that small of a sample size.   You can use it over several games to make points - but for a single game it doesn't mean much.

It's a make-or-miss proposition. If the other team makes 'em, then we get beat. Tonight we were efficient at the rim & made enough FTs to overcome the 4-23 on threes. And our D was just good enough to get it done on the road. Need to get this momentum rollin'! GBR!!!

Big win.   Gives us a chance to get another road win Wednesday to get back even for the two home losses.   That would be on pace for 10-10 in the conference which gets us in the tourney for sure.

 

Would never have thought we could win at Oregon going 4-23 from 3 - particularly missing a number of good looks.   Morgan and Gary both finished really well around the rim which helped make up for the poor outside shooting.    Berke did not have a big stat game but he battled hard and other than not shooting great did not make mistakes.   Meah also gave us some good minutes in the 1st half when we needed them.  I have been one down on Rollie at times - but he was money tonight with some big shots when we really needed them.  If he keeps contributing on offense we might finish pretty strong.

 

All that said:

A.    Juwan Gary may well be one of my top 10 favorite huskers (and my Husker fandom goes back to the late 1960's.)   He really plays with effort and is a great leader.   Not the most skilled player - but he gets the most out of his ability and comes up big at big times.   His arrival (along with Emmanuel Bandoumel) a couple years ago really flipped the culture of this program when it was in a very bad place.

 

B.  Brice Williams deserves to be 1st team all-conference.  I know there are some very talented players in this conference - but I don't think there is anyone more important to their team and given our limited offensive threats on this team he just has to battle extra hard every game.   I hope he gets some recognition for that at the end of the year.

Also noticed Sam with 37 minutes and Connor only had 11 minutes of playing time. Didn't get to watch very much but did catch some of 2nd half on radio. Jake brought up that some switching led to Connor trying to block out a 6'9" opponent and he was at huge disadvantage. Hopefully he bounces back against UW.

We were 4 or 5 rows behind Delano and McGowans.  Also had a chance to visit with Fred's wife, brother and sister-in-law.  What good people.

Dalano I don't think I've seen at a Nebraska game since he left Nebraska. Was a bit shocked by that
