Nebraska Player Quotes
On whether sophomore forward Michael Jacobson is mad about the win
“No, I don’t know, I just, I felt like we could’ve - credit to them though, no doubt, because they definitely switched defenses and pressed obviously and did some thing that kind of got us on our heels and out of our attack mindset, which I felt like was pretty good at the start of the game and then some things happened. But no, they did a good job and I feel like, yeah, we’ve just got to keep taking it one game at a time because it got to two points there, and, not good.”

On whether sophomore forward Ed Morrow thinks the team got energy and 3 pointers going, like Coach Miles had said he wanted from them yesterday
“Yeah I felt like personally we got it going. I feel like we just got a little comfortable, coming back in after the second rotation, you know, those guys actually did a pretty good job. We came in a little comfortable…and it sort of just rolled over into the second half.”

On how sophomore forward Ed Morrow thinks the team did rebounding against South Dakota
“I feel like we did a horrible job on the boards today. Based on our match-ups, we came out prepared, we were expecting to do way better than that, and we sort of just let the other team get the best of us on the boards.
