NIT First Round: #6 Nebraska at #3 New Mexico Open Game Thread

Which means we have to wait…

Notre Dame beating UAB at half, 39-35

I just switched to CBSCS and freaked out because I thought they’d switched coverage to the NAIA championship.

Assuming Penn State-George Mason doesn’t go to 6 OTs like Syracuse-UConn

to Arkansas right now in baseball, 7-1.

Gave up another three runs in the seventh. Kash Kalkowski gave up a two-run triple.

According to ESPN.com…

George Mason is closing the gap like crazy at the end…

can Penn State finish this already?

at first media TO

UAB 42, Notre Dame 41
Kentucky 23, UNLV 18

that should do it.

Penn State wins… now we can see our game

12-6 New Mexico

bricks bricks bricks

Can’t even hit FTs…

two missed FT’s

Hard to believe 100+ years of hoops, and we haven’t played someone

even that last brick bounced in

that was okay.

pulled within three.

NU gets a 5 point spurt to close the gap.

Was that all Ryan Anderson?

fights for the rebound and gets the foul.

At least somebody showed up.

announcers, I like Henry’s aggressiveness.

by Cookie Miller, 180.
nice steal, nice play.

we give up a three…. good shot, though, contested at least.

by Velandar. from the corner.

22-18 – 7:50 left, first half.

goaltending on New Mexico.

w00t!

another three from the other corner.

and he got knocked down, but no foul.

basket +1.

we’re only two down, 6:12 left.

The way we look, you’d think we’d be down 10.

by Miller, then a steal back by Ade, Richardson drive and fouled.

we get within a couple, then they come right back and score.

34-26 now, 3:57

Just like that, we’re down 8 again…

Nebraska basketball is not for the feint of heart, is it?

Us, Cubs Fans.

39-26, 2:53.

Miller picks up his third foul, 1:46.

for the Huskers, then the Lobos must have stepped over the end line turning the ball over.

on the Lobos.

 and we’re back within five.

weird game.

Great!

that didn’t finish nearly as disastrous as it looked.

five minutes without scoring, and we’re down 39-34 at the half.

that could have been Cookie’s fourth foul.

just can’t stop their inside guy, Farris.

yee gad.

…pointing out that NU doesn’t have the offense to recover from a double-digit lead. This team wins with defense, and they’re out of their game tonight.

Come back from a long phone call, and NMU’s come out strong in the second half.

We can certainly BLOW this sort of lead, but can we come back from it?

the way Ade has come on this year (missed FTs aside), it’s too bad he only had 2 years with us

and they’re moving the ball around really well.

…another 3 ball bomb…

this is turning into an ass kicking. they can’t miss. inside, outside. fer crying out loud.

I think this team finally ran out of gas…

56-37, 13:40 left.

Faris tips in a Husker basket…

That’ll get you killed if you’re a Columbian soccer player

we’re scoring, playing defense.

down 12. suddenly we have energy.

…Sek and the Huskers on a little run… A sign of life.

20 points.

bad defesen on inbounds play.

by Balham.

And NM turns it over

…and Big Red could cut it to 9…

…and an airball by Sek.

 maybe we can screw with their heads a little.

Richardson drills a 3…single digits!

down to nine.

Some guy is yelling “that ball was three feet away from the rim” – I wonder what game he was at?

…with only 4 men on the floor!

really bad mistakes.

crowd is going a little nuts, aren’t they?

love it.

could make a call there. so they give the ball to the home team.

time we see the Shamwow ad.

I knew there was something missing from my life.

some calls, that’s for sure, but it’s agressive.

Mass subsitutions for the big red…

Was pretty tight between USA & Puerto Rico

by Harley.

but they’re scoring again.

selection by Velander.

…another time out … 9 pt game.

Only 1 time out left with 5 minutes left.

Notre Dame would visit Lincoln if NU wins?

called on NM.

Heee heeee heheee.

Can the Huskers top their #4 finish from last year?
Maybe.

lost to Arkansas 7-3.

this is an ugly game, ain’t it?

they need to go cold.

Dagundoro, Harley, Velander?

is a fouling machine. Hopefully he’ll mature.

fouls out. Martinez.

NU within 7 with the ball… This ain’t over!

 man. score here. score here score here.

Anderson misses the three.

gets to play. whooooeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

the most points we’ve given up this season, isn’t it?

shot by Ryan Anderson.

that’s the season, isn’t it?

It’s been two fine years for Ade and Harley, and 4 for Velander. Farewell.

As for the rest of the Huskers…see you next fall…when the hunt for the NCAA Tourney begins anew

We fell too far behind, but somehow made it competitive for a while.
