[Herky] Nebraska

[Larry Edwards]

Fran McCaffery does not like to call timeouts at the end because he believes players have already extensively practiced what to do as part of his uptempo offense and he does does not want to give the opposition a chance to set up their defense and slow the pace.

It was an awesome game from the players point of view. 

The effort was beyond expectations and are actually playing at a high level. 

Cannot wait for the rest of the season and the next three years. 

I just hope the health gods stay on their side and we may be in the final four after all. 




Though, I was a little disappointed with the coaching in the last few seconds of regulation and OTs. 

With 17 seconds on the clock, a TO should have been called to have a set play or induce a foul at the basket. 

Instead the players wasted time and blew a chance to win in regulation. 

The last minute in reg was weird as we were playing to keep the ball and kill time and no offensive sets. 

Maybe, Jok was tired in the end to be very effective 




Disappointed with the result but gladdened by the effort.

I just find it hard to be negative about last night’s game with so many young players. Hardly a whisper about how Jok put this team on his back and carried it to two overtimes. 



Nebby is a pretty good team. I thought Iowa played very well on the road and I am proud of this team for that. They almost pulled it out in regular time and the first OT. 



Yes, we got lucky with their two missed FT at the end, but they were lucky, too at other times. If anyone is expecting perfect play night in and night out, you will be disappointed and will gripe night in and night out. 



I am not referring to honest, critical assessments of how the game was played. Points are understood. I guess I get cranky when the tone is so negative. 



As was mentioned already, this was a good, entertaining game. I am positive about the rest of the season and seasons to come.
