Quick notes from me Brice Williams now with 1,068 career points as a Husker, moving him past Herschell Turner into 31st all-time. He is just 6 points behind Keisei Tominaga. Brice Williams (43) and Juwan Gary (24) broke the school record for total points by two players (67) Previous record was 65 by Eric Piatkowski (42) and Bruce Chubick (23) The 230 combined points by both team ties the school record The 114 points by Nebraska tonight tied the record for the 5th most in school history. The school record is 117. Brice Williams tied the school record of Marvin Stewart and Teddy Allen with 16 made FGs in a game

Quick notes from UNL *-Brice Williams’ 43-point effort broke Nebraska’s single-game scoring record. The previous mark was 42 by Eric Piatkowski against Oklahoma in the 1994 Big Eight Tournament. It was also a Value City Arena record. *-Williams’ 43-point effort was his sixth career 30-point game. His previous high was 32 on two occasions. *-It was the first 40-point game by a Husker since Teddy Allen in 2021. *-Tonight was Nebraska’s first multi-overtime game since the 2021-22 season (4 OT at NC State). Nebraska is now 1-2 in overtime games this season.

We scored 111 points the previous 2 games combined

Guy was posting from a proxy getting his jollies

It's the close ones that kill you. This game was like the knife scene from Saving Private Ryan

Brice just broke Pike's record

FUCK YOU

them missing a wide open 3 and hoiberg hitting one was quite the 6 point swing

One of my kids is learning percentages is school so I'm hyperaware that Brice has 40% of our points (20/50)

If we need an out of bounds called, he's the guy you want out there.

We're shredding them inside. We just need to clamp down/hope they miss from outside

Not for lack of trying. Brice has had a couple not called

Zeigler is on the bench repeating to Berke "It's not your shot" until he can get the big Turk to break down and cry

Ulis pays out like Keno at the FT line

Take out Williams and go on a 5-0 run lol

Nebraska 76 - Ohio St 72 4

Nebraska Cornhuskers (17-12) vs Ohio State Buckeyes (16-13) Date: Tuesday March 4th, 2025 Time: 8:00 pm CST Arena: Value City Arena Broadcast: Peacock (Kevin Kugler and Shon Morris) Ohio State Info Head Coach: Jake Diebler Location: Columbus, OH Conference: B1G Nickname: Buckeyes Mascot: Brutus Buckeye Last time out: Beat USC Point Spread: Ohio St by 5.5 Typical Rotation Depth: 8+ Nota bene: Jake Diebler parlayed his strong finish as interim coach at the end of last season into the full time job at OSU OSU played one of the harder non-cons in the B1G, beating Kentucky and Texas while losing to Texas A&M, Pitt, and Auburn While Ohio St is 17-6 vs Nebraska as members of the B1G, Nebraska has won 4 of the last 5 Ohio St is 1 of 3 B1G teams that Nebraska plays twice this season. The others are Maryland and Iowa. Last month Nebraska outlasted Ohio St thanks to Brice Williams' 24 points and Juwan Gary with 19. Micah Parrish led Ohio St with a career high 30 points. Berke would leave the game near the end with an injury after scoring 15 in one of his best games as a Husker. Since that time he's missed 3 games and scored 2 points on 1-16 shooting. Ohio St. has been off since last Wednesday's game at USC Player to watch: Bruce Thorton, Jr The Ohio St PG came into this season as a member of the all-conference pre-season team and has added a consistent 3pt shot to his impressive arsenal, shooting 43.9% from 3 while leading the team in scoring and assists. Thorton is a true 3 level scorer and shoots at a high percentage from anywhere, even shooting 48.0% from mid-range. Bruce Thorton Sr was a NFL cornerback Player to watch: John Mobley The freshman combo guard has become a bucket for the Buckeyes and has jumped into the startling lineup with Meechie Johnson out of the picture. Mobley leads the team in 3pt attempts, currently hitting on 40.3% of them for the season, and is the type of player where you need to pick him up once he crosses half court. Inside the arc is a different story as he converts at an anemic 34.2% from mid-range and shocking 46.2% at the rim Player to watch: Devin Royal The bouncy forward leads the team in rebounding and lives at the rim where he converts at a high rate and draws contact. If you can get him to pull up anywhere past the rim you'll live with the results.

Thorton, Mobley, Royal, and Parrish log most of the minutes at the 1-4. Duke transfer Sean Stewart typically starts at center where he's a shot blocker/rebounder but is very foul prone. Kentucky transfer Aaron Bradshaw is more of the same though can take a 3. Croatian freshman Ivan Njegovan is the 3rd string center who has mostly been phased out of the rotation. Samford transfer guard Ques Glover is depth at guard. Forward Evan Mahaffey is a glue guy. Freshman wing Colin White sporadically plays.

Both Ohio State and Nebraska find themselves on the bubble as both teams desperately need wins to supplement their current body of work with the added bonus of bursting the other's bubble. There are about 19 or so teams vying for about 9 spots; missed chances for both teams have made this game critical. You could make the argument that Nebraska is best served keeping the score low and trying to pull out a win....which flies in the face of attempting to get off to a fast start. Perhaps they can split the difference tonight and try to limit the pace/damage against a Buckeye team that would like to get out in transition. It will be interesting to see who they start at center as Meah tends to be a better defender and Morgan more aggressive offensively. Berke started the last time these two played but has offensively been a trainwreck since returning for injury. 3pt defense will be key against this Ohio St team that doesn't shoot a ton of 3s but shoots them well with freshman John Mobely having Tominaga range. In OSU's last 6 games they've only managed to win the 2 where they've gone nuclear from 3 against Washington and USC. On the other side, Nebraska seems likely to commit to working inside like they did vs Minnesota as Ohio St remains the most foul prone team in the conference. It's very possible for Nebraska to FT their way to victory. Logically it make sense for Ohio St to win this game at home on 6 day's rest. We can only hope that Nebraska zags yet again.
