Dayton v Nebraska thread [ESPN U]

[huskerbaseball13]

If that wasn't the most Nebrasketball finish I don't know what is. My butt puckered up. Big win. Good job Skers

 

[kaz36]

Morrow with a monster game. 19 points and 10 rebounds.

 

[bigboxes]

One great stat of note. We owned the paint tonight! How refreshing!

 

[chicolby]

Near meltdown but huge win and the better team won. It would have been a crushing loss.

 

[GBRhuskers]

Overcame a meltdown for the ages, great win.

 

[newAD]

UCLA will.be interesting.

 

[tpmcg]

good win, but scary close.

need to learn to handle the press.

 

[GBRhuskers]

Four guys in double figures. Gill with a lot of important second half minutes.

Ed Morrow, nicely done young man!

 

[ru4nu2win]

With this young bunch every win is big. Although Dayton had some injuries, they still are a mid major power who annually is in the big dance. That was a SOLID win!

 

[RealHusker]

First of all...Ed Morrow in complete beast mode tonight. Dayton had no answer for him.

But c'mon, NU has got to finish better than that. You have a 6 point lead with 40 seconds left, then trail 25 seconds later? Complete panic and disarray in the final minute.

Hopefully Dayton is able to overcome the injuries they've had and this ends up as a nice, resume-builder for NU.

 

[headcard]

So much good stuff and then a huge meltdown. Still a solid core of young players that just keep getting better

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Again...this is Morrow being who he is. This is his game. Miles just finally figured it out. He is running and put-backs

 

[kaz36]

Whew!!! Just got back from cleaning out my pants. I thought we were going to lead the whole damn game and blow it at the end.

 

[TwinsRRUs]

What an ending... at least it is a win.

Plenty to work on in practice, but a good win for the team. GBR

We could have, but... 4-0. I realize that we are not a blueblood. Just like this year in football, I will savor the victories and not nitpick on how we did it. Although I almost had a heart attack that last minute.

 

[newAD]

Jack needs to throw his away.

 

[chicolby]

Much easier to learn from a meltdown that still got a win than blowing it. What a huge drive and FTs by the young Watson to bail us out.

 

[kaz36]

 

[bigboxes]

So, what's the consensus at this point, are we better off with or without White?

 

[dinglefritz]

Jack needs to throw his away.

Clearly huskerbaseball13's wasn't the only butt puckered up tonight. NU tried to give it away. Tai and Jack made some rookie mistakes down the stretch. How do you let yourself get trapped on the baseline under the basket off an inbounds? Not sure if that was Gill or who it was. We really played tight that last 6 minutes and quit moving on offense. Our youth definitely showed tonight.

 

[dinglefritz]

So, what's the consensus at this point, are we better off with or without White?

meh....probably without but it's hard to say another scorer wouldn't help. Long term it's giving minutes to youngsters that will help down the road IMO.

My first thought was "OH NOES!", but now I'm thinking that we will see our young team develop a lot faster without a ball hog disrupting the flow. Look at Morrow!

 

[chicolby]

Morrow is a stud and these games will become more regular for him. If we can keep getting this performance from him and Watson, this team could be special. I think they will exceed the preseason B1G expectations.

 

[newAD]

So, what's the consensus at this point, are we better off with or without White?

I wish he was still here, but with the right attitude only. But it is was it is.

 

[schuele]

UCLA not all that impressive in the first half of their game. They've been putting up a lot of points against a putrid early-season schedule, but Portland hanging fairly close so far.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

That was a sweet win. Exciting game. Man it would be great to see the Huskers have a good bball team this year.

 

[Suvey101885]

Maybe part of the problem was that we relied too heavily on both White and Shields. Pretty cool we get to play against UCLA and have a chance at winning.

By the way I loved Shields and his go get it attitude.

I loved Shields as well. Great teammate. He is missed.
