The effort and intensity tonight is great, though it shows they slack off in a lot of other games. Fred has to address that!

I don’t really care if Essegian starts the game. But if he’s hot in the first half and the defense has to account for him, run him out there after the break.
Missed most of game but see Rollie is 1-6 on 3 pointers!! In what universe does a coach let him take that many 3 point shots?
So many other teams seem to hit huge shots late against us. This feels like an automatic L
True, but the Huskers let this one gradually get away from them. Needed to capitalize and extend the lead when the Illini were chucking bricks.
I think he's played hard and found ways to score even with his shot completely broken. It hasn't been pretty but at least he's engaged. Hasn't been the case much lately.
His last shot wasn’t even close to take the lead, be interesting if we lose again while he tanks games
I'll go to my grave not really understanding how a euro-step isn't a travel.
Well it wasn’t Brice’s best game, but he stepped up big in OT.
Well credit him for coming through in OT. He’s just missed more shots at the rim tonight than I’ve seen him do.
hit these FTs and put it on ice
also - nice to see DR committed to his offseason conditioning program lol

Why is Fred wearing a name badge? Does he have a shift parking cars after the game?
The effort and intensity was great tonight. Fred needs to demand it in every game!!
It’s clearly 2+ steps. Always used to be a travel. 🤷
Just having him on the floor spreads the defense out, opens up driving/passing lanes and forces the opponent to have someone chase him all over the floor. Even if Essegian isn’t hitting shots (look out when he is) he forces the defense to expend effort and focus ultimately opening up things for everyone else.
When we get positive minutes from any 3 of Williams, Essegian, Gary and Rollie we’re hard to beat.
I'm just glad that the gather step hasn't been introduced into the college game...yet. It's juat an excuse for NBA players to travel, but now the dilemma is, what is a gather step? Seeing guys take 3-4 steps regularly is 💩 ball. That and never calling palming too.
Go do the old layup drill you first learned when you were starting basketball. Now on your first step before laying the ball up move your foot as far to the right as you can. On your next step jump as far to the left off your right foot as you can. Lay the ball up. Congrats you did the Euro Step taking the same number of steps you did when you started playing.
It's crazy reading this thread. If you didn't watch the game you would have thought we got blown out and Brice Williams scored less than 10 points.
Great win for this now underrated squad. Beating Oregon would help undo a bit of the damage from that 6-game losing streak.
