The Basketball Bruins advanced to the Championship Game of the Wooden Legacy Tournament, with a 82-71 triumph over the Cornhuskers late Friday night. Nebraska held UCLA to more than 20 Points UNDER the Bruins’ average, by slowing down the pace, but it wasn’t enough to avoid the Huskers’ first loss of the season, against 5 wins.
In the first half, Nebraska settled for jump shots, and shot them horribly. Nonetheless, it was close for most of the half, but the Bruins spurted out to a 13-point lead at the break. They were up 40-25 in the second half, when the Cornhuskers put their strategy-adjustment into effect.
