Sam Hoiberg is averaging 2.3 and plays half the time Brice does and is closer to 5-7 than 6-7.

Was just looking at the box score again since it was posted and yeah, he was on the court a long time to have such an empty stat sheet outside of shooting. No boards, no assists. Gotta get him locked in and helping lead this thing. This game had shades of last year’s Minnesota game where we just lost the ability to do anything for 20 minutes. We had a decent run after that game leading up to beating Purdue. Here’s hoping we regroup this year too.

I’m particularly interested in seeing how Brice Williams plays this Friday.

She was on the floor before the game ( I believe it was her) and she had a muscle stimulator on her mid-section. Not sure what that means, but i thought I would mention it. I am not in the same camp regarding the substitution pattern. I would rather look at it that she is leveraging her depth and keeping players fresh. I haven't looked at overall minutes...how does that look?

The way Izzo coaches his team to grab and hold onto opponents and the refs being complicit in allowing it, I knew this one had very little chance of NU getting out of there with a dub, even with a somewhat close score at the half. A team basically has to beat MSU by 15-20 to get out of there with any sort of win is concerning, but the embarrassing 2nd half offensive *and* defensive effort is far more concerning for Hoiberg & Co. Well, I suspect now the coaches will have the players full attention, not unlike after last season's 2nd half debacle at Minny in the conference road opener. Overall, it will be a massive learning opportunity for the Huskers, we shall see what they glean from it on Friday night against the Hoosiers.

Cornhuskers 75 - 68

You missed a lot of BIG Wins HF…!!!
