We really struggled out of the gate and I think a lot of the credit should go to Nebraska who came out and punched us in the mouth. Love the way the team responded and took over in the second half. This was a hotly contested two game series of a couple well played basketball games.

Nebraska defended hard in the earlier part of the game. No way you can keep that intensity. It also got them into foul trouble

Nebraska fouls were critical.

Can't keep up that intensity because their defense was not legal. The refs finally decided to clean the game up which was warranted given the physicality.

Therefore why I said got them into foul trouble

They scored 6 pretty quick (first 2:20), then it seemed like it took forever to score another 6. PBP says they scored their 10th at 12:33, so 5+ minutes to score 4 pts.

Then they score 11 in the last 3:13 of the first half.

I like the fact that they took the lead with about 1.5 secs left in the half and never let go of it
