Huskers start strong but lose big at Villanova
Nebraska guard Shavon Shields is fouled while going to the basket against Villanova guards Jalen Brunson (left) and Phil Booth (right) in the second half Tuesday at Villanova, Pa.VILLANOVA, Pa. — With Nebraska leading No. 11 Villanova 23-16 in front of a silent crowd of 6,500 at the Pavilion, the home team’s coach, Jay Wright, took a timeout.
Nebraska junior Andrew White huddled his team. He told them specifically to not give up a big run, because he knew Villanova’s capability of doing so.
“And surely enough,” White said, “at that very moment is when they went on that run.”
A big one, too.
