Key Stats:
What a second half for the Jays: they shot 17-28 from the floor (60.7%), committed just three turnovers, and averaged 1.243 points per possession. Their defense forced Nebraska into tough shots, and the Huskers were 1-12 from three-point range (and 13-41 overall). The only downside was offensive rebounding, where Nebraska had a 12-3 edge; seven of Nebraska’s 13 made baskets, and their only three, in the second half were the result of an offensive board. Yikes.
It wasn’t all good for the Bluejays. Their free-throw shooting was awful (12-23) and equally bad in both halves (2-7 in the first, 10-16 in the second).
