Troy should not be bringing the ball up the floor.

I have been trying to understand the motivation for it...I he when you want to free up a shooter I.e. yogi or Blackman. But when you jave three guards on the floor that could run the point let one of them.

Hanner going all HAM when we needed it most. Pretty sky hook. Going after the boards. I think that little scuff right at the beginning of the game with an arm tangled set the mood for Hanner tonight and that's exactly what we need. So happy for him.

Holt.. hello big man! He was like a ball magnet again tonight! If u watch the replay, he turned his angle inward when he went up for a possible dunk. Pretty nasty roll really.

Giving it up to Crean. The 3/4 press, the match up zone... oh and that inbounds play for Robinson.. wow... let's not forget Crean going gangster in his zoot suit tonight. I remember that look from when Watford hit THE SHOT..

Bring on the Izzone. Bring on the Spartans.

Hanner playing big boy ball!

Yogi did what you need a point to do and thats facilitate.I think he played a great game.

The team played composed with the lead down the stretch.

CTC coached with an attitude today.

We lose this game last year.

1&0 now lets take the Spartans down!

It definitely looked like he tweaked something on that first fast break layup he had. He played well after it, but the takeoff was really awkward and he was definitely wincing and limping a tad on the replay running back on defensive.

Any word on Emmitt? There’s some noise on twitter about him tweaking his knee. True? Not?

Good win.

Continuing to see improvement-----not easy to win at Nebraska.

I'm happy with the win, but don't forget Incarnate Word won at Nebraska earlier this year.

Hey, thanks for the downer post!

Cincinnati didn't get the same result there though.  Not saying Nebrasketball is a great team but like you said happy with the win.

Emmitt Holt needs more minutes. Excellent road win. Not sure where Hoetzel fits with this team. Can't let teams go on runs like that. 

I gotta' have more Holt baby! 

 

Painfully obvious that our (handle delicatley)...less athletic players are challenged defensively to guard and stop just mediocre athletes.

[AZ Hoosier 6,101]

Great win. Nebraska is
Below average.

 

It still counts as a W. And it’s a conference ROAD win, to boot.

I was able to watch this game with my dad, mom, wife, and one of my brothers on New Years Eve! Awesome sauce. Enjoyed every minute.

Hanner played like a MAN!

Crean did much better job at slowing the pace when we got our large 13 point lead for the 2nd time. Lots of positives in this one. Blackmon gets blocked A LOT.

Hated predictably blowing the lead the first time. Knew it was coming.

He did say "shut up" for sure. My wife is a casual observer and that was the first thing she said, even before the replay and altercation.

It looked like Emmitt hyperextended his knee on his break away layup. Probably stiffened up at half. Hanner stepped up in his absence.

I thought the same thing. Looked very awkward on the layup

[hoosha61 386]

Every B1G road win is huge. Hanner was great. Holt really impressed, scoring, rebounding, blocking shots, his upside is large. Troys play the last few games has been exciting. The Oladipo comparisons are legit. I trust Max, he seems very comfortable. We have a tall order ahead of us, MSU will be motivated to say the least. Go Hoosiers!

[GloryDays 5,903]

Is there any inside info on Emmitt's status this morning?

He really looked awkward and possibly injured on that breakaway.

Agree on all points. I thought Yogi did a really good job of being in touch with the game and making adjustments as the game went on. He (and the whole team/coaching staff for that matter) seemed to do a good job of probing what Nebraska was doing and making adjustments to counteract them. As a whole it was one of the most intelligent and patient games I've seen them play in a while and very fun to watch. The last fifteen minutes or so of the game were awesome!

If you look really closely he rolled he left ankle when he went up for the layup

Rolled his left ankle on the layup but he did come in and play after that so I think he's fine. He didn't have a huge amount of playing time in the second half simply because Hanner played like a beast.

I really dont want Crean talking to opposing players. Thats where he needs to get into an official a$$. I thought Neb. players came out with attitude but that foul on Hanner was hard but clean IMO.

The foul on Rojo was a little dirty imo probly a build up of all the hard foul

[Myrmidon76 614]

Went back and watched this game again. Noticed something else that I consider a cheap shot. Watch the floor reflection when we are on offense. Billboard operator projecting flashing, color alternating images that reflect on the floor. Total bs move that the Big Ten may want to take a look at. I know they are using the billboard to try and fire up the crowd, but the glaring disparity between when Nebraska was on offense to when we were is quite noticeable. Before I get villified just take 10 minutes...pick ANY portion of the game and watch. It's total crap. Play defense for heaven's sake and don't rely on a billboard to create confusion. Dirtbags...Total dirtbags.
