    Box Score
  13. hhcmatt
    This is the 11th most by a Husker in a season since 2009-10. He is chasing Roby's 28 for the Bartorvik crown

    Last year's team was going to be three heavy. You could see it a mile away because everyone could take 3s. This season would be a disaster is we shot them at the same rate because it's not built the same. We have posts and PGs that aren't threats from 3. We're stronger rebounding and generating turnovers but unfortunately have been sloppy with the ball. The slightly surprising upside is that we've generated FT attempts at a rate higher than any Fred Hoiberg team to date. There is a very good argument that production at the FT line is fickle. From my experience, the same can be said about making 3s. This is a different team and hopefully the outcome is that the matchups benefit us with success in the tourney

    No. Rollie's deal is that he's never been much better than a 30% 3pt shooter and he should only take those shots as needed. Sometimes it feels like he'll take one at the end of a game we are winning so it makes it slightly harder to profile him as a guy who you don't need to guard at the 3. Maybe it's the last couple of games moving the needle but the numbers offensively and defensively are significantly better when Worster is on the court

    I'm traveling for the holidays. Listened to the first half of the game on the radio. Need to verify that he just had the two.

    Notes from UNL *-Nebraska picked up its first win at Hawai’i since 1976, snapping a five-game losing streak to the Rainbow Warriors. NU is now 3-7 all-time against Hawai’I with all 10 games in Honolulu. *-Nebraska will play in its first MTE title game since the 2018 Hall of Fame Classic. *-Brice Williams tied his career high with 32 points, matching his career high against UAB on March 4, 2023 when he was at Charlotte. His previous Nebraska high was 30 points against Indiana on Dec. 13. Williams now has two 30-point games this season and five for his career. *-Juwan Gary finished with a season-high 21 points, topping his previous best of 19 vs. FDU. It marked his fourth career 20-point game. *-Nebraska improves to 2-1 in true road games on the season with both wins coming by double figures. *-Nebraska’s 15-0 run in the first half was the Huskers’ 10th double figure run of the season *-Nebraska held Hawaii to a season-low 55 points, as its previous low was 67 vs. Hawai’I Pacific on Nov. 26 *-Nebraska had two players score 20+ points for the second time this year and first time since Nov. 27 against South Dakota.

    The business in Hawai'i is tourism though

    Kent was not familiar with Bart Lennox and hoped he wasn't a local high school ref.

    No rule though it becomes hard to get into the tourney if you have no road games. They play on the road for conference. They did play one non-con road game at Grand Canyon this season. Is that really any different than how we schedule?
  26. hhcmatt
    It turns out they can find plenty of teams that don't mind flying to Hawaii. They did play a random road game at Illinois 4 years ago.

    Sorry should have mentioned that @LincecumFan. I listened on the KLIN app while driving on the interstate for 2 hours and it worked great. The only problem with those apps is that they don't work to sync with the TV. Use a laptop for that.

Nebraska might be down Berke and Ulis tonight. Hawai'i is a tough team that runs a Randy Bennett like defense. Thus they'll man up and run you off the 3pt line, forcing you to beat their post players one on one or else take mid-range shots. Nebraska can work in this environment and Hawai'i gives up a lot of points at the FT line. Offensively, the Rainbow Warriors are looking to bring everything into the paint. By default Nebraska is set up to stop this and it's really about how well they can guard without fouling as Hawai'i scores a ton of points at the FT line. Otherwise, it will be about preventing second chance points as Hawai'i's posts excel on the glass at both ends. It would be surprising to see Nebraska take Hawai'i out of this one quickly. Nebraska is the better team but if they get into the wrong side of a ref show in Hawaii they sure could drop this one. Prediction: Nebraska 76 - Hawai'i 68
