Nebraska Basketball vs Texas - Game Thread

but we are missing Cookie Miller.

5:47 1st half, Nebraska down 25-20. Hard to contain Augustin, ain't it?

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

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

four minutes since we had a shot fall.

hopefully Doc can get them back into a rhythm.

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.

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. :)

to the half.

three by Texas, Dagundoro picks up a foul, but misses the first.

Man, texas can't miss.

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.

cut down to 10.

nice little run. Texas missed, we didn't.

and then Augustin scores. good lord.

collapse their zone.

Maric needs more of a presence inside, doesn't he?

keeps looking to pass.... when he's at the top of the key.

WTF. Holy crap, score, man.

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.

by Texas, TO by Doc Sadler.

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

is playing better defense, forcing us into bad shots as the clock is expiring.

points now.

Anderon hit a 10 footer.

Atcheley (sp) hits a three. he was open.

3:30 left.

still playing good defense. Maric with a jam.

is out of TO's, taking one now.

2:51 left. if nothing else, texas will have known that they played a tough game.

We have the ball, 59-61 Texas.

61-59, 1:40.

Texas lays it in under the basket, BEAUTIFUL pass by Henry to underneath.

on Nebraska.....

fighting for a rebound. key is fighting :)

Huskers have only five team fouls, Texas with 8.

Abrams hits a three, 64-61.

Maric nearly intercepted a long pass, but drops it, but Mason swatted it away nad picks up the foul.

9.4 left.

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.
