Husker Basketball Game #1: San Jose State Game Thread

Nebraska Cornhuskers (0-0) vs. San Jose State Spartans (1-0)

Bob Devaney Sports Center, Lincoln, NE

TV: None; Radio: Husker Sports Radio Network (1110 Omaha, 1400 Lincoln, 151 Sirius), Huskers.com

Media Previews: Journal-Star

Nebraska tips off the 2008-09 season at home against San Jose State.  Join us here for live game updates.  The Spartans are already 1-0 having won at South Dakota State, and return all 5 starters, but their best big man is out with a severe ankle sprain.

This is a good matchup to judge how Nebraska will do against larger opponents, since SJSU is fairly large up front.

1st Media T.O.

Nebraska has come out REALLY flat in the 2nd half on offense. The defense has caused SJSU to be sloppy, but Oakes has gotten open close for two easy dunks.

NU needs some easy shots to wake up.

2nd Media T.O.

Nebraska is an atrocious 1-12 shooting this half. Fortunately, the Spartans are a slightly less atrocious 3-9 and has 8 turnovers this half.

Nebraska needs to regroup on offense. Bad.

the last 3+ minutes has been a complete change of direction again. Nebraska has been getting turnover after turnover, and eventually, the shots had to start falling.
