uneblinstu's postgame chatter: vol 15, ed 24: vs Penn State

Keisei being 7 for 8 on two-point shots, when most were back cuts, sure set NU up for success vs PSU. Add to that, being 5 for 10 on threes, well, that set Tominaga up for a 30-piece in 31 min. Ya love to see it.

Notes from UNL

• Seth Lundy made eight 3-pointers for the Nittany Lions. The eight treys were a Penn State program record and tied the Pinnacle Bank Arena record. Minnesota’s Malik Smith in 2014 and Wisconsin’s Brad Davison in 2020 also knocked down eight in Lincoln.

If Fred truly loved the fans, he would've allowed Lundy to get one more trey to erase the previous record holders.

Went to the game, electric crowd for a 10-13 3-9 team, Incredibly fun and I echo the well-coached game sentiments by many, any time a player missed a rotation/ was slow on d/ took a bad shot they were subbed out ASAP, very nice to see accountability

Big win, good win, burst State Penn's bubble potentially

What a nice walk to PBA today. Sun was shining, temps feeling like close to 60 degrees. Reminded me of a March Sunday back in 2014 against Wisconsin. Much different stakes and scenario, of course. 
This was a very fun game to be at. Entertaining, good basketball. Coach Rhule was there. Followed Tominaga on Twitter during the game.

My funniest moment, one I can’t believe happened. 
During a gear grab, a t shirt is launched and smokes a lady who wasn’t paying attention in the face. That was kind of funny. Gal next to her was concerned and tending to her, when all of a sudden, the gal next to her who was providing “care” gets smoked by another t-shirt. She immediately stands up and yells down towards the court. Grabs her friend (the original one who got smoked) and they head out of there, to complain. 
Sadly, after that, all t shirt gear grabs were just gals throwing them 8 rows up in the 100 section. Will always remember this.

Always a good day when NU defeats State Penn.

The one who was very upset definitely looked like a Karen!! 

Interesting comments from Rapheal Davis after the game. (I did text to speech) “This is the day that made me realize why they call him the Japanese Steph Curry because it goes beyond His shooting ability from the logo - he’s gonna make shots all over the floor but his ability to move without the basketball is big time, his game play is better live - guys not really seeing him, the cuts-he found ways to affect the game outside of the three-trying to get him looks and to 30 points in this game. And I don’t think Penn State respected him. I’ve been in this league, Ive played against guys in this league. And Tominaga doesn’t pass the look test for some guys and they treated him like a scrub and he made them pay every single play down the court”

Great, great coaching and amazing work in the paint.  Hats off to KT and Walker for the assists!!

Also, Dawson put on a defensive clinic against one of the best players in the B1G.

I don’t think they [Door Dash] know how to make it up to 320. 

As I understand it, this is simply a feature to order from your seats and then you go pick up your food by skipping the line, but would be interested to hear if anyone tried it out yesterday.

Fred did an excellent job managing our rotation this game.  It’s almost like he has figured out who our reliable players are.  Lawrence really has taken a big step forward.  Sam Hoiberg is such a breath of fresh air…the kid is a very smart player.  Walker is still struggling a bit but we need the big guy.  

I thought Fred did an excellent job of minimizing the negative plays when Wilcher and Breidenbach were in.  As soon as the bad plays started happening the core guys came back in.  Really one of the best jobs managing the game that Fred had done here.

This.  I thought the first half looked like a team that could go .500 down the stretch.

There were 33 total assists in the game. Just 15 turnovers. And 21 fouls called. A lot of good ball, and off-ball, movement by both teams. Enjoyable to watch. 

Props to the ref crew for not injecting themselves into this game. The whole thing only took 1:44.

If the Big Ten really thought Penn State was a bubble team or really cared about Penn State basketball, they would have sent McJunkins or Pfeiffer or Lamont or one of their other hatchet men to put a thumb on the scale.  Instead it was a pretty well officiated game for the most part (at least in my opinion).

Part of the effort to speed up concessions is that there are people with rolling coolers set up where you can just buy a beer.

Yesterday in the 2nd half I hear "ice cold beer" behind me as the guy with the cooler is rolling through the concourse. Every day I feel better about the Trev Alberts era.

fred can officially say he's improved the win total every year he's been here. might be enough to get an extension.

Every?

Enough?

Extension?

If you have Low E, you should probably visit your doctor. Their beach vacations are all funded by Low E Nebrasketball fans.

You mean every time you have an ice cold one?

Yeah, I have no clue what to say about the dispersal of shirts.  About 10% of the crowd (and very few kids) get an opportunity to grab the shirts.  Lol, you have adults jumping over others for a shirt that is too small for them...I actually saw a dude walking out of the arena carrying three of them.  Maybe he gives them out as gifts.

I'm going to miss Derrick Walker.

Who knew that "Walker to Tominaga" was going to be this year's Husker hoops version of "Stockton to Malone"?
