Game Thread Nebrasketball Game #22: @ Oregon - Sunday, February 2nd 6:30pm BTN

[HCFord1]

Williams, Gary, and Worster put the team on their backs tonight. They pretty much did everything.

 

[Husker15]

There's our 2nd Q1 road win, now 4-6 on the season with 6 Q1 remaining (3 road, 3 home).

Pretty good resume. 19 wins likely gets us in

Money line pays again. Getting back that Cockeye loss in my betting app. Awesome win!

We are so much better with an aggressive Brice. Gary has been a stud, also.

Losing those two next season - man - next seasons roster not looking like it will be any good. Can't rebuild through the portal every year.

 

[Husker_in_OK]

Huge win.

Nebraska is clicking right now. If they can steal a couple more road games and win out at home, we're tourney bound.

@HuskerDocCo is in this thread? That’s a sign. We win by 6

Nailed it

Edit - Garrett edited it. Was 7 now 6. Shame.

Really nice having the BTN talking heads fellating Nebraska basketball.

Great fucking win.

 

[cwessel76]

Great fucking win.

I second that. Their press had literally no effect on us.

I'd even go so far as to say it was a plus in our favor. We got a lot of easy buckets breaking it.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Great fucking win.

I don't hear Jim cuss that often, so it must be a big win.

@Baron Winnebago fun fact - cussing is a sign of higher intelligence and authenticity.

Especially in the 1st half their press was working against them.

Baron has disappeared. I'm not saying I'm responsible but I'm not saying I'm not.

Scoreboard was closer than this game actually was. Outside of a 3:00 run to end the first half, we dominated them all night.

Awesome learning how to play with a lead these last two games instead of waiting for the wheels to fall off.

We could make a hell of a run to end the season.

It’s very likely that both Maryland (currently #26) and Michigan (#27) will be ranked in the top 25 by the time we get them both AT HOME. Huge opportunities.

I think we could go 5-4 to end the season but if we notch two more top 25 wins, good luck to the committee leaving out a 19-12 team with 6 top 25 victories.

Altman has run that same press for 30 years and I’m not exaggerating. My first ever competitive basketball team in 4th grade in 1999 we ran it and called it Blue Jay.

We put on a master class (once Uhlis found the bench) on how to break it and get easy baskets off of breaking it.

Get a guy to the middle of the floor, get him the ball and then we’re running.

Referees were not a factor tonight. Nice to see.

This one was huge.

Now let’s get passed this one and get the next.
