The Minute After: Nebraska
Thoughts on a 93-66 loss to the Cornhuskers:
That escalated quickly.
In the final 2:58 of the first half, Nebraska ripped this off: Three Keisei Tominaga 3-pointers, a Jamarques Lawrence 3-pointer, a Juwan Gary 3-pointer and two free throws from Gary as well. That’s 17 points. Indiana’s response? Zero.
Nebraska’s six-point lead became 23 and that was pretty much all she wrote for this game. Indiana did hold a 17-16 lead at the 10:46 mark, but was outscored 34-10 the rest of the half.
That late barrage from the Cornhuskers aided them to an insane 12-of-20 (60 percent) mark from deep in the first half alone. They also pumped in 1.45 points per possession over the first 20 minutes of action.
