Steven M. Sipple: In wake of 8-for-30 free-throw effort, Hoiberg's calm and dry humor helpful

Nebraska assistant men's basketball coach Bobby Lutz was utterly perplexed by something he witnessed Sunday afternoon.

In fact, a lot of folks were perplexed by what they saw. Many are still perplexed four days later. They'll remain perplexed for some time, I'm guessing.

"Bobby came in (the locker room) after the game and said, 'I don't think I've ever been a part of something like that,'" Husker head coach Fred Hoiberg said Wednesday, referring to his team's 8-for-30 performance from the free-throw line against Northwestern at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Hoiberg managed a tiny grin as he recounted the scene.
