Nebraska played a great defensive game, but couldn’t get enough out of their offense to move on to the Sweet Sixteen. Oregon State’s defense was everything it was made out to be - holding Nebraska to one double digit scorer in Jaz Shelley (10). Markowski and Stewart each contributed eight points. Markowski grabbed eight rebounds and Shelley six. Jaz also had seven assists.
The Beavers held Nebraska to 31% shooting from the field (21-67) and 20% from three point range (4-20). Oregon State shot 41% (22-54) and 30% (10-33) for three pointers. Despite the great OSU defense, Nebraska only turned the ball over 10 times and the Beavers gave it up 15 times.
