[Husker] Rutgers 75, Nebraska 73

[NUStLNorris at aol.com]

Sounds like it wasn’t pretty, either.  
 
Charles Richardson got a big steal and hoop to put the Huskers up 73-69 at  
the 1:06 mark.  Shoulda' finished it off.  Aleks Maric then fouled out  with 
less than a minute to play as Rutgers pulled to within 73-72.
 
Freshman Ryan Anderson got stripped of the ball on the next possession and  
Rutgers converted following an offensive rebound against the Maric-less  
Huskers.  NU then called timeout for the final possession, and never got a  good 
look (Anderson forced one up; Doc thought he got mugged, according to  Pavelka).
 
Nebraska finished 6 for 14 from the foul line.  Back-and-forth game  the 
entire second half.  Jamel White is off to a slow start this  year.  Maric 
finished with 20 points, only 3 rebounds.  Anderson had  17.  Rutgers shot 64 percent 
from the floor!
 
Disappointing.  Four-point lead with 1:06 to play and we couldn’t hang  on.  
Doc Sadler's first loss at Nebraska drops the Huskers to 5 and 1 on  the 
season.
