Nebraska 74 - Cal St. Fullerton 54

Nebraska Cornhuskers (6-0) vs Cal St. Fullerton Titans (2-3) Date: Sunday Nov 26, 2023 Time: 1:00 pm Arena: PBA Broadcast: BTN+ California State University, Fullerton Head Coach: Dedrique Taylor (11th year) Location: Fullerton, CA Conference: Big West Nickname: Titans Mascot: Tuffy the Titan (an elephant) Last time out: Defeated Rider Clothes not to wear: Blue, Orange, Dumbo KenPom Ranking: 209 Opening Line: Nebraska by 16.5 Nota bene: Nebraska is 2-0 all time vs Cal St. Fullerton with the smallest margin of victory at 24 points Nebraska is looking to start 7-0 for the first time in over 30 years (92-93 season) Bruce Bowen played for the Titans from 89-93 This was the team that Latrell Wrightsell played for last season KenPom most used lineup PG SG SF PF C Pct 1 7 DJ Brewton 6-3 200 Sr 2 Max Jones 6-4 210 Jr 21 Grayson Carper 6-6 195 Jr 32 John Mikey Square 6-6 225 Jr 13 Vincent Lee 6-9 235 Sr 11.6 Player to watch: Max Jones Jones has gone from a secondary scorer to the primary scorer and his shooting percentages have plummeted. Jones gets to the FT at an elite level. Others to watch Vincent Lee converts at high percentage inside and this year he's a perfect 16-16. F/C John Mikey Square has also not missed this season...though that's because he's yet to take a shot. JMS has mostly been in foul trouble or ineffective. Assists and steals leader DJ Brewton is the second leading scorer. He's a terrible shot though so it's typically volume scoring at best. On one of the worst 3pt shooting teams in D-1, Grayson Carper is arguably their best shooter. 6'2" SG Donovan Oday is a scoring option off the bench. One missing piece is returning Big West defensive player of the year Tory San Antonio. The 6'3" senior guard has been unavailable for unknown reasons thus far but would be a boost on both sides of the floor if he played today.

Dedrique Taylor has a very good track record with the Titans and likely will have them playing better ball as the season wears on. Right now, it's a WIP. The Titans have traditionally been a defensive team under Taylor and typically will try to take away inside looks. Expect Nebraska to continue its outside barrage. Offensively, CSF is a dribble drive type offense with shoddy 3pt shooting....a recipe for disaster against the Huskers. The Titans will attempt to draw contact and score at the FT line....this could get ugly as Nebraska under Hoiberg tends to defend without fouling. Let's punt on trap game talk until December Prediction: Nebraska 74 - Cal St. Fullerton 54 View full article

Where in the world is Tory San Antonio?

We set the regular season record for 3 makes shooting 33.4%, which is certainly obtainable. Those 18-19 numbers were pumped up by us playing 36 games. Assuming we keep shooting 3s like we do, I think we need to hit about 31% to break the conference record. These records seem inevitable just by our style of play and a mediocre make rate.

We're doing so well this year we have to worry about other team's losses.

Does anyone know specifics about the last technical? I've been asked about it three times today so it must not have been explained on the TV broadcast

If it's not Sunday, things have gone badly for DONU

I referred to him as radon tonight because he's a silent killer

You must be in a dry spell because we can't lose this season

If we're lucky one might just flop into the boat

Notes from UNL With the win, Nebraska improved to 6-0 for the first time since the 2008-09 season. The six-game winning streak is Nebraska’s longest since a six-game winning streak in January and February of 2018. The Huskers scored a season-high 89 points, scoring more than 80 points for the fifth time in six games. Nebraska topped 80 points for the third consecutive game, marking the first time Nebraska has scored 80 points in three straight games since November of 2019. The 89 points was NU’s highest total since scoring 93 at Penn State on Feb. 27, 2022. The Huskers’ 10-point win marked their sixth double-digit victory in six games this season. Nebraska has won six straight games by double digits for the first time since a six-game stretch in the 2010-11 season. Nebraska scored 52 points in the second half, the Huskers’ highest scoring half this season and the second time NU has scored 50 points in a half. The 52 points were just three shy of the Pinnacle Bank Arena record for second-half points (55 vs. UTSA on Dec. 20, 2017). Nebraska went 28-of-31 from the free throw line, shooting 90 percent from the charity stripe. The effort marked the first time Nebraska has shot 90 percent from the free throw line in a game since going 21-of-23 (91 percent) against Oklahoma State on Dec. 16, 2018. The Huskers scored on each of their first 16 possessions in the second half. Nebraska committed only two turnovers in the game, both of which occurred in the first three minutes of the game, as the Huskers did not turn the ball over in the game’s final 37:01. The two turnovers tied a school record for fewest turnovers in a game. It also occurred against Purdue on Jan. 16, 2013. Nebraska finished with 18 assists and two turnovers. Over the last two games NU has 34 assists and just eight turnovers. Nebraska’s bench produced 27 points, as the Huskers have gotten at least 25 points from their bench in every game this season. Nebraska’s four bench players (C.J. Wilcher, Sam Hoiberg, Juwan Gary and Jarron Coleman) each finished with a plus-minus of 10 points or larger. Five Huskers scored in double figures, marking the second time this season Nebraska has placed five players in double figures. Juwan Gary scored a career-high 20 points, topping his former career high of 19, which he reached three times previously. Gary hit 7-of-10 shots from the field and scored 13 points in the second half on 4-of-6 shooting. Gary has scored in double figures in each of his three games this season. Keisei Tominaga produced his first 20-point game of the season and 11th of his career, leading Nebraska with 23 points. Tominaga’s total was fueled by a 9-of-10 effort at the free throw line. Brice Williams scored 11 points, reaching double figures for the third straight game and for the fifth time in six games this season. Rienk Mast scored 10 points and has reached double figures in every game this season. Josiah Allick filled up the stat line with 12 points, seven rebounds a career-high-tying five assists. Nebraska had a 13-0 scoring run in the second half, the fifth run of 10-0 or better this season.

He obviously didn't play though i didn't expect him to unless it was a blowout. He was shooting around before the game for sure.

they're usually $1-$2!
