We need to open up a 10 pt lead while their post is on the bench with 4 fouls and when he comes back in go right back at him to get him fouled out. Too much playing with our backs to the basket on offense

I haven't watched a game live all season. My mom also gave me a Creighton shirt that was laying around that may have been my nephews. I occasionally wear it when I might be getting dirty working in the garage or something. I tell my wife the win streak is possibly due to not watching or having the Creighton shirt. Now that I have one NU good CU not so good.

Best win of the season in my book. Just a fantastic comeback.

Frager gives me a heart attack at times but man that kid is fearless. Terrific game for Lawrence too.

I can’t stand Archie Miler but I gotta admit - Lawrence really upped his game during that year at Rhode Island. Good for Fred for bringing him back.

Hell of a game. This team is fun to watch. Nice to have a number of guys who can get buckets.

Great win, but somewhat surprising considering Sam and Berke didn’t play much in 2nd half. Coach Hoiberg said in list game that Lawrence was in such a groove that even though he was tired he wasn’t taking him out unless necessary.

Fred’s upped his game too. I absolutely love the matchup zone him and his staff have developed. If Fred was a blockhead who refused to play zone, I’ll bet this team would have 3-4 losses at least.
Head basketball coaches often get too much credit and they usually get all of the blame. I’ve thought from day 1 that Fred was the perfect fit for Nebraska but he struggled to attract enough talent and his early assistants could have been better. Problems fixed this year. Mast returning was huge. We finally have 5-6 guys who are legit threats from 3. Huge deal. I’ve said for years we needed more than 2-3 guys who can shoot from 3. Got em.

Down 16 on the road, could have folded and got run out of the gym. Helluva a win, and amazing fortitude. Great win Fred!!

Exactly. We were supposed to roll over and let Uncle Clark pet our belly.

Another Quad 1 win. This team has no quit. They just show up and play hard.

For what its worth, the rest of the B1G schedule is going to be a grind. A lot of good, but not great teams. We are halfway through the season and every team has a lot of tape on each other. Wins will come down to which teams play well for longer stretches in each game.

I still think we hit a game where the flu bug is going through the team, or something, and we lose a game maybe we shouldn’t. Michigan and Purdue are tough matchups for us. PSU is Jekyll and Hyde. USC looks competitive. Can’t imagine we win em all 🤷‍♂️

It would help if Fred figures out a way to play the stars a few mins less each game. They will wear down if they are playing 36-37/game. Maybe Uggi and/or Blue can find a few minutes. I think Garcia could be 10-15 min rather than 5-8/game.
