The Nebrasketball Blackshirt defense put on a clinic, held Creighton to a season low shooting, forced turnovers in upsetting the Jays at home for the first time since 2004. It was the first regular season win in Omaha since 1995.
Nebraska’s offense ran the clock on every possession, slowing the game down, an approach sure to irritate the more flamboyant opponent. And it worked! Creighton at times seemed frustrated and upset, as if they’d just show up on the court and crush our beloved Huskers like they had so many times before!
Sam Griesel lead the offense with a steady hand, scoring 18 points while grabbing 12 rebounds.
