Hustling Defense Keys Upset of Gophers
Photo by Scott Bruhn/Nebraska CommunicationsOn a night gritty, tough-nosed, hustling defense spurred the Nebraska men’s basketball team to victory, what was Isaac Copeland’s favorite defensive play?
“Glynn’s steal into what should’ve been a dunk,” Copeland said, “but he laid it up.”
Glynn Watson Jr., sitting a spot away from Copeland at the postgame interview table, looked ahead and smiled.
“I touched the rim though,” said Watson, a 6-foot junior guard.
Duby Okeke, seated between the two, shook his head.
“It wasn’t a dunk,” Okeke confirmed, to which Watson responded, “It was a rim graze.”
