Nebraska investigating fan behavior, including objects being thrown toward benches, during Purdue game
MCGOWAN’S EDDIE MESSEL KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN. IT’S GOT TO BE TOUGH. EDDIE. THANK YOU. HEARTBREAK ON THE HARDWOOD TONIGHT. ANOTHER TOP 15 BATTLE IN LINCOLN AS THE NUMBER SEVEN HUSKERS HOSTED. NUMBER 13 PURDUE. NEBRASKA CAME BACK FROM A DOUBLE DIGIT DEFICIT TO FORCE OVERTIME BEFORE LOSING 80 TO 77. KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN’S LAUREN MICHELSON IS LIVE IN LINCOLN AT PINNACLE BANK ARENA. OKAY, LAUREN, WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE FROM THE HUSKERS AFTER THIS? NAIL-BITER? HEY, YEAH, NEBRASKA HEAD COACH FRED HOIBERG’S MESSAGE TO NEBRASKA AFTER THAT 8077 LOSS TO PURDUE IN OVERTIME WAS WE SHOULDN’T HAVE ALLOWED OURSELVES TO BE IN THIS POSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE HUSKERS MADE SOME UNCHARACTERISTIC MISTAKES, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST HALF, INCLUDING SCORING 24 POINTS. THAT’S A SEASON LOW FOR NEBRASKA WHILE TURNING THE BALL OVER 14 TIMES TONIGHT. DESPITE ALL OF THAT, THE HUSKERS CLAWED THEIR WAY BACK FROM A 22 POINT SECOND HALF DEFICIT TO COME BACK AND REALLY GIVE THEMSELVES A CHANCE TO WIN THIS THING. NEBRASKA STORMED BACK WITH 13 SECONDS LEFT IN REGULATION RINK, GRABBED THE REBOUND AND LAID IT IN TO TIE THE GAME. HE WAS FOULED ON THE MAKE BUT MISSED THE FREE THROW FOR THE AND ONE. HE STILL TIED IT UP AT 68. MAST FINISHED WITH 18 POINTS. THEN IN OVERTIME, THE HUSKERS, WITH A FINAL CHANCE TO MARCUS LAWRENCE, SLIPPED WHILE TAKING THE INBOUND PASS. PURDUE GRABS THE LOOSE BALL TO HOLD ON AND WIN. WE LOST THAT GAME IN THE FIRST THREE MINUTES, YOU KNOW, YOU DIG IT. YOU DIG YOURSELF. WHATEVER IT WAS 14 TO 1 CALLED A TIMEOUT. AND YOU KNOW WE’RE DOWN DOUBLE DIGITS BEFORE THE FIRST MEETING. AND YOU KNOW IT’S HARD TO CLIMB OUT OF A HOLE AGAINST A TEAM LIKE THAT. THAT BEING SAID, WE CERTAINLY SHOWED WHAT WE’RE CAPABLE OF DOING WHEN WE PLAY THE RIGHT WAY. AND I THOUGHT WE EXECUTED OUR LATE GAME PACKAGE VERY WELL, YOU KNOW, TO PULL BACK INTO IT AFTER GOING BACK DOWN DOUBLE DIGITS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY JUST DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH. COACH HOIBERG SAYS THE BIGGEST THING THAT SPARKED THE HUSKERS SECOND HALF COMEBACK WAS PLAYING WITH A TYPE OF CONFIDENCE AND SWAGGER THAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM THIS TEAM SO OFTEN, ESPECIALLY IN THE SECOND HALF THIS SEASON. ULTIMATELY, HOIBERG SAYS NEBRASKA NEEDS TO DO THAT RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE FOR A FULL 40 MINUTES. WE WILL HAVE MUCH MORE ON THIS LOSS COMING UP IN SPORTS, INCLUDING HEARING FROM ROBIN WARSHAW OF HUSKER
