Maybe we'll have a better chance this year in Conference Play!

NW just made a clutch put back & the lead 51-50 over Ga Tech, with 7.1 sec left. Ga Tech wins it at the Horn, 52-51. with a last sec drive to the basket.

Like uneblinstu, I don't want to start an argument on the topic, but are we in danger of falling too much in love with the (capricious) three, relying on them to win games? When they are falling, all is fine; and as someone said it needs to continue. But, what happens when it doesn't (and it won't), and we find ourselves in the midst of one of our frequent scoring droughts? I always thought hitting treys was a way to open up the scoring on the inside, by keeping the opposing team from packing the paint; and it works well when shooters are hot. But when the shooters go 'cold,' does it work the same in reverse; i.e. a team can (mostly) ignore cold shooters and pack the paint to prevent inside scoring (and you aren't getting points from either place)? Here's a quote I saw on another site I thought had a lot of truth.

For all the Lady Lovers here: (Sorry to be such a copy-cat of your thread in the MBB forum, throwback ) (Think I got it right. Let me know if you spot any errors ) The B1G/ACC Men's Challenge proved so popular the leagues instituted a Women's Challenge in 2007. 2017 B1G-ACC Women's Challenge (AAC - 10; B1G - 4) (all times Central) Wednesday, Nov. 29 2:30 pm – Minnesota (83) at North Carolina (88), no tv listed (*Check the Home team's Site for any video) 5 pm – Notre Dame (83) at Michigan (63), BTN (think I'll check out the game to see if a certain former Husker plays) 6 pm – Maryland (60) at Virginia (59), ACCN Extra 6 pm – Wisconsin (58) at Pittsburgh (57), ACCN Extra 7 pm – Florida State (94) at Iowa (93), BTN Thursday, Nov. 30 5 pm – NC State (53) at Rutgers (57), BTN 6 pm – Michigan State (57) at Miami (67), no tv listed* (*Check the Home team's Site for any video) 6 pm – Northwestern (74) at Syracuse (81), ACCN Extra 6 pm – Ohio State (60) at Duke (69), no tv listed* (*Check the Home team's Site for any video) 6 pm – Wake Forest (58) at Penn State (68), no tv listed* (*Check the Home team's Site for any video) 6 pm – Purdue (55) at Georgia Tech (68), ACCN Extra 7 pm – Virginia Tech (96) at Illinois (49), no tv listed* (*Check the Home team's Site for any video) 7 pm - Louisville (72) at Indiana (59), BTN 7 pm - Clemson (67) at Nebraska (66), BTN Plus NU History (2-5) 2017 – Clemson 67, at Nebraska 66 2016 – at Virginia Tech 76, Nebraska 67 2015 – No Carolina State 67, at Nebraska 88 2014 – #9 Duke 54, at #12 Nebraska 60 2013 – #15 Nebraska 62 at #18 North Carolina 75 2012 – #10 Maryland 90, at #23 Nebraska 71 2011 – Nebraska 57, at Georgia Tech 73 Series History (ACC leads all time, 8-0-3) 2017 – ACC 10, B1G 4 2016 – ACC 9, B1G 5 2015 – (tie) B1G 7, ACC 7 2014 – (tie) B1G 7, ACC 7 2013 – ACC 7, B1G 5 2012 – ACC 7, B1G 5 2011 – (tie) B1G 6, ACC 6 (ACC leads 4-0-3 since Nebraska joined) 2010 – ACC 6, B1G 5 2009 – ACC 7, B1G 4 2008 – ACC 7, B1G 4 2007 – ACC 8, B1G 3

Here's a comment by a poster on another site that I thought was interesting:

Believe I heard Kent & Jake talking about rebounding toward the end of the game and how it was mainly about effort. I hope we don't lose focus and intensity allowing teams to get back in games when we should be putting them away.

NU - 70 BC - 64

Officials did their best to keep Long Beach State in this!

Whew, Pulled out the Win!

LBS is scoring too easily. Knuckle-biter game, again!

Karl Hess in the game?

Look for a make up call somewhere.

Roby reportedly with a bad low ankle sprain.

Whew, No Break!

Stats show 7 assists (Taylor w 4) so far, vs 2 for Long Bch.

Maybe Michael Lewis talked to 'em!

Mostly Empty Stands.

(Was Karl Hess officiating? )

BTW fwiw - I notice that Buffalo defeated Clemson (our next opponent, in the B!G/ACC Challenge) by 20 points, 61-41.

Here's the most important Stat to me: Official Attendance: 175 (& only 200 @ the Buffalo Game) I think it would be hard for Any team to get 'Up' for a game played on the road in an empty Gym. (not to mention the lackadaisical announcing - when they announced anything at all)

Final Stats for WBB Husker-Buffalo Game: Sorry, Belated Post (I finally learned how to do it, Bug. Trick was knowing where to find it ) Official Attendance: 200

Huskers 90 Long Beach 60

Already made a trey!

Ahead 28 pts with 3:47 left, Miles starting to clear the bench

Wish we could bank some of these made treys for later in the season! (I'd like to see more attempts in the paint)
