Palmer's Clutch Free Throws Lift NU to 62-61 Win
http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=211790649
Lincoln – James Palmer Jr. knocked down a pair of free throws with 1.1 seconds remaining to lift the Nebraska men’s basketball team to a 62-61 win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers Wednesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena

In a game that featured nine ties and 12 lead changes, Nebraska led for much of the second half before Minnesota used a 6-0 run to take a 61-59 lead with less than a minute to play. The Gophers led by one with under 30 seconds on the clock when Isaiah Roby made the defensive play of the game, drawing a charge from Minnesota’s Jordan Murphy to give the ball back to Nebraska with 18 seconds remaining. On Nebraska’s first chance to win the game, Thomas Allen had his shot blocked out of bounds. On the ensuing inbound, Palmer caught the ball on the baseline, pumped fake, and drew a foul on Amir Coffey to set up his game-winning free throws.

Palmer, who scored 10 of his game-high 24 points in the second half, was 8-of-10 at the line on the night, including 3-of-4 in the final minute. In addition to Palmer’s big night, Glynn Watson Jr. erupted for 19 points, just one shy of his season high. While Palmer and Watson combined for 43 of the Huskers’ 62 points, Allen added seven points and a career-high nine rebounds in his return to the starting lineup, while Roby had six points, four rebounds, three assists and a pair of blocks.

The win snapped a seven-game losing streak for Nebraska, improved to 14-11 on the season and moved to 4-10 in Big Ten Conference play. Nebraska shot 50 percent from the field, its first time hitting more than 40 percent of its shot in six games. Minnesota (16-9, 6-8 Big Ten) got a double-double from Murphy with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Daniel Oturu added 16 points and Amir Coffey – who had a career-high 32 points in the first meeting with Nebraska – chipped in 11 points.

The Huskers look to avenge an 85-78 loss to the Golden Gophers in December.
Last time out, The Huskers battled No. 15 Purdue:Catfight: and were within 67-57 at the under-four timeout, but missed a front end of a one and one after the break and then split a pair of free throws on the next possession before Purdue pulled away for an 81-62 victory. On the night, Purdue shot 51 percent and went 19-of-21 from the foul line, including 9-of-9 from Carsen Edwards.

One bright spot for the Huskers in the loss was the performance of sophomore guard Thomas Allen, who matched his career high with 18 points against the Boilermakers, including 5-of-6 from 3-point range. Allen has played well since Isaac Copeland’s injury, averaging 11.5 ppg on 47 percent shooting over the last four contests, including three double-figure performances.

SCOUTING MINNESOTA

The Gophers are 16-8 on the season and looking to snap a three-game losing streak. The win over the Huskers on Dec. 5 started a stretch where the Golden Gophers won seven of eight, including a seven-point win at Wisconsin. Since then, Minnesota is 3-5 including its three-game losing streak which includes losses to nationally ranked Purdue, Wisconsin and Michigan State. On the year, Minnesota is just 1-6 in true road games.

Amir Coffey leads four Minnesota players in double figures with 15.3 points per game while also totaling 3.0 rebounds per game and ranking among the team leaders in steals. Senior Jordan Murphy has been solid inside, as he averages 14.5 points and a Big Ten-leading 11.9 rebounds per game. Daniel Oturu (10.8 ppg, 7.4 rpg and 1.7 bpg) and Gabe Kalscheur (10.3 ppg, 50 3-pointers) have been valuable producers in their rookie campaigns.

Go Big Red, we NEED this one. I hope PBA is packed and loud because it is a MUST WIN and there is still a chance to get to Tourney, which is what WE all want right? So hopefully people show up and showcase the effect a powerful fanbase can bring to its TEAM. That will no doubt give them the best chance to succeed in this game. I am sure they could use some "Unconditional Love" during the 40 minutes of the game. So lets WEAR RED, BE LOUD and PROUD.

Supposedly, this is our easiest remaining game. Of course, all are must-wins at this point.

NU is favored by 4. Granted, we've been favored in the majority of games in our current losing streak. But -- Minnesota is very beatable. And the two following games are also winnable.

I won't make any predictions with this Husker team, but winning two of three games would be desirable.
