  1. Other quotes provided by huskers.com: UCLA Head Coach Mick Cronin Opening Statement “We didn’t play well enough to win against a good team on the road. That’s really all I have to say.” On playing without Eric Dailey Jr. “We still fought. I don’t like that stuff, it’s five on five. It’s not the power play. You don’t have to play a man down. We’re missing two guys but it’s not the power play. We’ve got to deal. We got guys on scholarship that are good enough players. You can’t go 4-28 (from 3) and have any chance to win against a team that stands people in the paint and dares you to shoot. That’s pretty much the game in a nutshell.” On the ball movement being an issue “No, we got to make some shots. Dylan Andrews has got to play way better. Dominick Harris and Trent Perry got opportunities today. They played a combined 17 minutes, neither one of them scored. I told them they were going to get an opportunity with Eric (Dailey Jr.) out. They played 17 minutes and didn’t get a basket.”
  2. The turnaround by Hoiberg is remarkable. Simply astounding, tbh.
  3. Let's go & beat Iowa in Iowa City, that's what is on my mind at the moment. GBR
  4. NU is 2-2 in Q1 games NU is 2-0 in Q2 games NU is 2-0 in Q3 games NU is 6-0 in Q4 games
  5. That had to be a fun win for Berke and the boys over the Bruins. GBR
  6. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised that Essegian was a +24 in the aftermath of that game and he didn't even make a shot from the field. He and Sam both played well together on the defensive end of the court, I would have been shocked to have said that very thing before the ballgame. Connor has expanded his game to the defense, and NU is better off long-term with Sam's influence on Connor.
  7. Nebraska's final 13 points were from the FT line. Juwan made the last shot from the field with 7:15 remaining. That was a dogfight the entire game, glad NU had the dogs to take the fight to UCLA. That kind of struggle will win in March Madness if the team can get there. GBR
  8. Draining 30 seconds on those two possessions left UCLA a very small window to make a full comeback, it wasn't the worst idea. I'd prefer to have a shot going toward the rim, but the refs might let UCLA mug us again. You know what I mean?!
  9. Husker Nation, you’ve done it again! Nebraska Men’s Basketball vs UCLA is sold out
  10. A lefty Jokic would be fun to see his game progress to anywhere near that level in Lincoln.
  11. Happy New Year, HHCers. GBR Always.
  12. Fortunate to score 10 points late to at least secure a modicum of confidence from LA. That game was a similar script offensively for NU to the prior one. Yikes, the majority of the 2nd half, the shooting was horrendous. It will be good to be back in The Good Life for the Big Red. That was a brutal stretch of three ballgames, but maybe it is a good learning experience for Britt and Amiah in particular. I hope they learned to keep the faith. GBR
  13. There definitely seemed to be something wrong with Juwan physically last night, he got a layup blocked & I do not recall that being an issue for Juwan as far as being blocked on layup attempts. Maybe his calf was tightening up....
  14. Ours would be Connor Essegian, Brice Williams, and Berke.
  15. Gavin had another blocked shot, but the ref whistled him for a phantom foul. Those refs had a lot of those types of calls tonight. It wasn't their best effort out there, SU guards mugged Brice several times in the 2nd half & no calls were made.
  16. And a starting POINT guard, no less. Sheesh.
