We will avenge you Nebrasketball!   Can't believe they blew this game. Potentially huge loss for Nebraska.  They just ran out of steam.

Ross took about 4 steps before Petteway fouled out, and, I didn't get a replay but it didn't look like a travel by Neb?

Nebraska didn't give itself a chance after that last made free throw.  Down four 67-71, and without any timeouts, to win you need to play in a way that allows for two possessions.  Inbounding the ball and jacking up a three point shot as time expires is conceding.

If your goal is to WIN THE GAME, at that point, you have to throw a length of the court pass with the clock stopped so that you can score with time remaining, the more the better.  What, was Nebraska worried that such a pass would get intercepted?  Heavens, no!  Then they might lose the game <<GASP!>>>  Which they were assured of when they took the path of least resistance and inbounded the ball in the backcourt.

Gotta credit Della Valle - I think he was emboldened by his teammates having nothing. It was like, hell, why not. But he played really good defense and does have some ability in transition. I still think he's challenged in the half-court, but he had a heck of a game. 

Man, did Nebraska collapse, though. Ugly.

Just because everyone looks alike.

Why can't we have our own jerseys like MSU and OSU? Why do we have to always have this Adidas template?
