To get this win... with Keisei playing the way he did.  Huge.  Clutch.  We can beat anyone and we're deep as a team.

Some of his shots were halfway down and didn't go in.  That was the most shocking part of his game.

When Mast makes step back threes, we win.

I’m so happy how Wilcher has played this season. Nebraska has finally made him play his game and not having to dribble much. Have him do the Klay Thompson role and he’ll succeed.

Gary being back was huge. 

Damn, after getting crushed on the boards in the first half, we out rebound them 25-19 in the 2nd half and only committed 5 turnovers to their 10.  Would love to hear the audio of the halftime speech!

Tim!!!!!!

I do think our doubling down low is part of our problem on the road.  We do start some comebacks in even the bad games but then they get those 3’s when we double down low and you give far too many opportunities for the crowds to get back into it. Especially when you have a team that spaces you out.

Lol same brain

53 points in the 2nd half

Holy shit! I had to stop watching and come to work. We were down like 15 when I left. Just checked the score. HOLY SHIT WE WON!!! That probably punched our ticket

Random thought after seeing a huge stack of plastic cups in the student section.  Is part of the secret sauce at PBA this season the booze?  Wrong answers only

Wisconsin should probably just go home at the 16 minute mark whenever they play in Lincoln.

it was the worst of times. It was the best of times.

Lot of season left, but a lot of winnable games.

With all that being said... I'd much rather be on Purdue's side of the bracket than Wisconsin come March.

I’m going to keep doubting this team! The more I doubt, the more they defy me!

Metrics will see this as a no doubt 8 point win 

If I recall, most metrics consider OT games a 0 point margin.

Great win but we're not done yet!

Holy moley that was awesome.

I was so frustrated at half, with a good chunk of that at one player. But man oh man did they make up for it.

That was awesome.

Lets win a couple on the road

I think our rotations were much better in the 2nd half.   In our 1st meeting, Wisconsin kept cutting to the basket and the big man would find the cutter.  Tonight, we seemed to not allow that.  Made them take jump shots.

This is the only way I can express my joy right now.

Gotta learn the letdown lesson from Purdue.  Winning at Illinois could give us a huge runway and a T25 ranking.  
 

Man what a win tonight though.  

The first 30 minutes (+/-) was absolutely bad basketball.  The last 15 minutes (+/-) was an absolute piece of classic art. 

What a satisfying win!

Bryce went from pathetic to great.  Mast faught and faught and then boom.

Sam and Josiah's effort raised everyone's game several notches.  Then there was CJ.  Dude...thank you.  Your effort and excellence was a pleasure to behold. 

Keisei...umm, get your head up!  You stunk tonight, but better days will follow.  JLaw...we need you on defense my man!

Fantastic win gents!!!

Anyone still wondering why it is so much easier for the Huskers to win at home than on the road just needed to be in PBA tonight.   Place was electric and when we made that second half run the crowd just took over the game - shaking up a normally very disciplined Wisconsin team and giving the Huskers tons of energy.
