1. We lost the game at the foul line (16-30) but somehow won the game.
2. Gut check win at the RAC. Defense was elite in the last 6 minutes of the first half (14-4) and then the last 10 minutes of regulation (18-6). No field goals for Huskers in those 16 minutes.
3. Simpson played a terrific game despite another poor shooting night. 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 huge assists. G-RUnit is taking a victory lap.
4. Cliff has entered the building. 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 blocks. But god dammit we win the game in regulation if he just hits foul shots.
5. We MURDERED Nebraska on the glass 56-42 but 25-11 on the offensive end. Huge key to the game.
6. We actually went toe to toe with Nebraska on threes. They were 13-35 (37%) and we were 11-29 (38%).
7. We did a good job defending Tominaga, but that was at the expense of them letting Brice Williams and CJ Wilcher going off.
8. Make no mistake. Nebraska is a really good offensive team with a lot of weapons. It took every ounce of energy and RACmosphere to squeeze out this win.
9. Pike deserves credit for the rotation tonight. He didn’t stay long with Palmquist in the first half when Nebraska went on that early 10-0 run and then didn’t play him at all in the second half. He “managed” Gavin’s minutes, and GG rewarded him with two big threes. Most importantly, he stuck with the short rotation down the stretch because things were working with Cliff, Mag, Hyatt, Simpson, and Austin, but with smart substitutions with offense-defense with Noah and JMike.
10. Mag and Hyatt combined for 33 points, and they both played games that seniors need to play in a tight conference game.
11. I hope somebody “accidentally” spilled a drink on that woman who was screeching and yelling during our free throws.
