Fred passes Jerry Bush for 8th most wins all-time in Nebraska history with 82 wins

Forgot about these Nebraska Postgame Notes *-Nebraska improves to 25-26 all-time in postseason games with tonight’s win. *-Nebraska is now 4-4 all-time against Arizona State. *-Nebraska overcame an 11-point second-half deficit, marking the third time this year the Huskers rallied from a double-digit deficit. *-Brice Williams finished with 30 points for his fourth 30-point game of the season. He is the second Husker in the Big Ten era with four 30-point games in a season, joining James Palmer Jr. who also had four in 2018-19. *-Williams’ 30-point night is the second-highest scoring effort by a Husker in a postseason game, trailing the 33 points that Tom Baack scored against Marshall in the 1967 NIT. *-Williams now has 650 points, passing Eric Piatkowski (646, in 1993-94) for fourth place in NU’s single-season list. *-Nebraska’s 56 points in the second half was its highest scoring half of the season (previous high 54 in first half vs. South Dakota) and the highest since scoring 57 in the first half against Doane during the 2020-21 season. *-Connor Essegian finished with 17 points, all coming in the final 10:29 of the game. It marked the 29th time this season a Husker reserve reached double figures. Essegian was 7-of-7 from the floor in the second half *-Cale Jacobsen led NU a huge lift off the bench, setting career bests in assists (five), steals (three) and minutes (23), as he finished +10 on the night. *-Sam Hoiberg matched a career high with four steals as the Huskers finished with 11 steals on the night.

Brice now has 678 points this season, tied with Lue for 3rd best all-time

It's like when Pop told Bump Bailey he needed to shape up or Roy Hobbs was going to take his spot except Ulis didn't run into a fence

Just saw my life flash before my eyes as Ulis worked in and sunk a jumper

Held my breath while Ulis went up for that layup

Only seeing 2 in the box score

You know Washington St had to suck on defense to give up 85 points to these stiffs

woof

Need Morgan to dip into his bag of near travels

Feels like we put down a bet during the 4 minute timeout that Cale Jacobsen would score in the last minute

Can see why Ulis got busted at Iowa because he's just straight up gambling every time he shoots

Double our NIL

We seem to be playing down to the opponent. Should we win Boise St is going to eat us alive.

Cale getting the start over Morgan tonight

Epps and Peavy, their top 2 scorers, appear to be out. Would be disappointing to lose this one

This season it was 6.6 per 40 minutes. Dominant rebounded and shot blocker for sure, it was night and day for us when he wasn't on the court. We'll see if we gave him an extra long handshake after the game.

Wow, we offered back in 2019

Either they will still have guys out or else it's the Nebraskan in Vegas effect

Was surprised by his rebounding numbers. Would be curious how his shooting numbers would hold up if he had to double his attempts as he fires them up with Sam Hoiberg/Benny Parker like frequency.

Guy who isn't motivated by Izzo doesn't seem like he's going to be a self-starter for Fred Hoiberg. I think we offer him so that Wake Forest outbids us for him.

Was never going to play
