- Preview of the game from my point of view - Texas hasn't lost at home. Nebraska has never beaten Texas in Austin. A good picture might help, they always help me (just so there ain't no confusion, the big ugly guy with the shield represents Texas).

good game so far
but we are missing Cookie Miller.
5:47 1st half, Nebraska down 25-20. Hard to contain Augustin, ain't it?

Dagundoro
picks up his third foul. That sucks a lot, we need his ability to score.

cold
we just can't get the shots to fall. of course, Texas' defense has a lot to do with that.

been over
four minutes since we had a shot fall.
hopefully Doc can get them back into a rhythm.

33-22
Texas defense is smothering us pretty well. You're going to beat that every shot has to count and we're not shooting worth a poo.
1;30 left in first half, and there goes another 3 by the horns.

38-25
at the half.
Augustin and James have 14 apiece for the 'Horns. Good grief....
Augustin has a 4.0.... in what?
Too bad the guy won't stick around very long. Or maybe not. :)

lousy start
to the half.
three by Texas, Dagundoro picks up a foul, but misses the first.
Man, texas can't miss.

It'll be nice
to see this team when more depth comes, when the guys who are redshirted this year start playing next year.
have to wonder if Doc will run a full-court press all of the time.

nice little run. Texas missed, we didn't.
and then Augustin scores. good lord.

need to
collapse their zone.
Maric needs more of a presence inside, doesn't he?
by corn blight on Mar 4, 2008 7:45 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Maric
keeps looking to pass.... when he's at the top of the key.
WTF. Holy crap, score, man.

this
game could have been a blow-out, but we've fought all the way back to a tie.
you have to love the effort - at one point a 18-4 run by Nebraska.

Wish I could watch
I'm stuck working until 9, so the game will be over. I am trying to watch on the TexasSports.com live stats. Loved the comeback, though.
Go Huskers!

He's on Dagundoro.... right in his face as he comes off the floor.

It's over
70-66.
One helluva game, though.
Like I said earlier, this game could have been a blow out.
We played great defense, we hit a gob of three's which should give us some confidence for these younger guys on the offensive side of the game.
Great stuff!! Much better than I expected.
