Huskers Rally Past Hawkeyes on Senior Day
http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=211794893
Lincoln - It was a memorable Senior Day for the Nebraska men's basketball team on Sunday, as the Huskers erased a 16-point second-half deficit and scored 16 points in the final 47 seconds of regulation to force overtime in an eventual 93-91 victory over Iowa in front of 15,821 fans at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Seniors James Palmer Jr. and Glynn Watson Jr. combined for 15 points in the final minute of regulation, helping Nebraska erase a nine-point deficit. NU trailed 74-65 with 50 seconds remaining, but Palmer and Watson hit four 3-pointers over the next 38 seconds, with a Watson three bringing Nebraska to within 80-79 with 23 seconds left. After Iowa connected on 1-of-2 free throws, Palmer tied the game with a driving layup with 12 seconds remaining, and Nebraska withstood an Iowa 3-point attempt in the closing seconds.

Already missing starter Thomas Allen Jr., who sat out the game with an injury, Nebraska played the entire overtime period without two more starters – Isaiah Roby and Tanner Borchardt – who both fouled out as the Huskers made their comeback. But even without three starters, the Huskers operated efficiently on the offensive end, going 5-of-6 from the field in overtime. Nebraska grabbed its first lead since midway through the first half when Thorir Thorbjarnarson hit a layup 32 seconds into overtime. Iowa responded by scoring five of the next seven points to take a one-point lead. The Hawkeyes led by two following a Joe Wieskamp 3-pointer with 2:26 to play, but Nebraska would hold Iowa two just two points the rest of the way.

Palmer and Watson scored the next four points to give Nebraska a two-point advantage and after Iowa tied the game, it was freshman Amir Harris, who delivered the game-winner with a layup with 10 seconds remaining. Thorbjarnarson then blocked Ryan Bohannon’s potential game-winning 3-pointer as time expired.

Nebraska ended the regular season with a 16-15 record after posting the largest comeback since rallying from a 19-point deficit against Iowa on Feb. 23, 2013. The Huskers finished with a 6-14 mark in conference play. Nebraska is the No. 13 seed for the Big Ten Tournament and will face 12th-seeded Rutgers on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. (Central).

Palmer led Nebraska with a game-high 27 points, while Watson added 23 points in the final home game for the senior duo. Isaiah Roby gave Nebraska three players with 20 points for the first time since 2007, as he scored a career-high 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

Luka Garza led Iowa with a career-high-tying 25 points and Jordan Bohannon added 20. The Hawkeyes finished the regular season with a 21-10 record and a 10-10 mark in Big Ten play.

The Husker men's basketball team closes out the regular season on Sunday afternoon, as Nebraska welcomes the Iowa Hawkeyes for Senior Day.

The Huskers look to get back above the .500 mark following a 91-76 loss at No. 9 Michigan State. The Huskers got season highs from both James Palmer Jr. (30) and Glynn Watson Jr. (25), but Michigan State shot 53.3 percent from the field, including 12-of-24 from 3-point range, to move into a share of the Big Ten lead heading into the final weekend.

Heading into the final weekend of the regular season, the Huskers are locked in as the No. 13 seed for the Big Ten Tournament and could play either Rutgers, Illinois or Penn State on Wednesday afternoon at 5:30 p.m.

Sunday's game will mark the final regular-season home appearance for five Huskers - Tanner Borchardt, Isaac Copeland Jr., James Palmer Jr., Johnny Trueblood and Glynn Watson Jr. - as Seniors. The group has combined for nearly 3,400 points along with more than 1,150 rebounds and 625 assists during their time as Huskers.

SCOUTING IOWA

Iowa has dropped three straight following a 65-45 loss to No. 21 Wisconsin on Thursday. The Hawkeyes were held to 30 percent shooting, including 5-of-22 from 3-point range. Jordan Bohannon and Ryan Kriener led the Hawkeyes with eight points apiece.

The Hawkeyes are in sixth place in the Big Ten with a 10-9 mark and will be either the sixth or seventh seed in next week's Big Ten Tournament.

The Hawkeyes' strength is an offensive attack that is shooting 46 percent from the field and 36 percent from 3-point range to rank second in the Big Ten in scoring at 78.6 points per game. Iowa is among the nation's best at getting to the foul line, as they make an average of nearly 19 free throws per game while leading the conference in free throw percentage (.747).

The 'Skinny' (from another site)

"The Skinny: Is this a good or bad matchup for Nebraska? Iowa runs the sort of laissez-faire defense that Nebraska has won games against all year. They also run the sort of offense that last time caused a lot of foul trouble for a Nebraska team that finds itself with just 7 available scholarship players. Nana Ankenten joins the list of Huskers not playing in this one.

Iowa has been struggling a bit for the last few games and some of that could be attributed to Fran cursing out a ref and getting bounced for two games. Seems like this should be an entertaining, higher scoring game.

Prediction: Nebraska 80 - Iowa 77"

JPJ might be playing a little tight today ... 0-3 from the field (including 2 questionable shots) and 0-2 from the FT line.

Only thing going for NU thus far is TB on the boards and Amir Harris' hustle on both ends
 
Palmer turns it over, and Miles pulls him. Miles is pissed, but there were 4 guys standing flat footed on the inbound pass JPJ threw away ...
 
JPJ moves to point as Watson sits down with a silly foul, his second.

Johnny Trueblood getting a bunch of minutes today with TA out, as is Thor. Both are playing reasonably well.
 




Can anyone tell me what the hell that old school logo is? I know it was on the Delaney Center floor way back when, but what the hell is it? Is it supposed to be an N around a basketball?
