35-16.

SJSU has called a 30-sec T.O.

No scoring, just slop.

First score of the half. NU up 16

is apparently giving the NU crowd the finger.
Then, he gets his second dunk of the half.

2nd half scoring: Oakes 4, everyone else 0.

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.
