#Huskers well represented.
– Kid in oversized Husker foam hat to start it off.
– Nebraska band shot.
– Jamarques Lawrence on the floor fighting for a loose ball.
– Sam hugging Charlie.
- Clip of the Vandy shot that didn't go.
– Frager's celebration after the game-winning drive.
The record books will state this NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament game between Nebraska and Vanderbilt occurred at a “neutral site.”
Tell that to the Commodores.
OKC: Enjoy this video of something you’ll rarely see… A full house in downtown OKC loudly united behind one team… that is not from Oklahoma.
Nebraska fans: Safe travels home Sunday. We are grateful to have been the home of your newest core memories.
And thanks to the NCAA, all eight teams and their fans, and everyone who made this weekend possible!
Vanderbilt was 11 of 19 (57.9%) and outscored Nebraska 31-21 in the 12:18 before the Huskers switched to zone.
After: Commodores went 2 of 6 (33.3%) -- excluding half-court shot -- and was outscored 10-5 in the final 4:18.
The Mayor Fred Hoiberg saved it for the right moment.
The decison to NOT call timeout and let Pryce Sandfort push it and find Frager...so smart from Hoiberg! So much better off attacking a broken floor transition defense than a set 1/2 ct defense from Vandy!
