Postgame Notes
*-Nebraska improves to 1-3 in one-point games this season, including a one-point loss in the first meeting. The four 1-point games tied for third most in school history. Only the 1961-62 (7) and 2000-01 (5) teams have had more one-point games than the 2016-17 team
*-The 11-point deficit is the second time this year NU has overcame a double-digit deficit on the road (13, at Maryland) and fourth time NU has overcome a seven-point or greater deficit in Big Ten play. NU trailed by five with 32 seconds remaining.
*-Nebraska picked up its first-ever win in Columbus, as the Huskers were 0-7 in Columbus before today (0-4 since joining the Big Ten)
*-Tai Webster reached double figures for the 27th consecutive game dating back to last season. Webster joins Josh Hart (Villanova) as the only power conference players to reach double figures in every game, as FSU’s Dwayne Bacon was held scoreless today. Webster finished with 17 points
*-Jack McVeigh came off the bench for 11 points, his fifth double-figure effort in Big Ten play, including four off the bench.
*-Glynn Watson finished with 14 points, five boards and two assists without a turnover.
*-Ed Morrow’s 10-point effort was his first double-figure effort since Dec. 28 at Indiana. NU is 2-1 since Ed Morrow returned with the only loss being an OT loss vs. Wisconsin.
Tim Miles, Nebraska head coach
On Glynn Watson’s Jr.’s game changing performance
“[Glynn Watson Jr.] had a great deal to do with it. Glynn’s a winner. Glynn’s a guy that’s a game changer. We ran a side-out play where he found Jack [McVeigh] for a three. I knew we were disappointed so we just wanted to get that organized and set ourselves for the rest of the game.”
On Nebraska’s season
“We’ve had resolve all year. We’ve come from behind in wins. We’ve been involved in a lot of these games. We haven’t always finished, which is why our record is what it is. At the same time, we’re healthier now than we have been. These guys have a lot of resolve for freshmen and sophomores. I think they just believe in what we do, the recipe and in each other. That’s fun to coach.”
