[Husker] Huskers Down Big at Half; Sadler Ejected

[huskerrn at bigred.unl.edu]

It seemed that at about the 5 minute mark there was a huge momentum swing.
Nebraska applied an amazing full court press that really shut Hawai'i down and
led to some quick scores on our end, pulling us back into the game. The
rebounding continued to hurt us though as did some shots that were far off the
mark. Anderson was definitely the highlight of this night with 29 points (7-3
pointers). 

What the article doesn't mention is Maric's left ankle injury. It looked
horrible when it happened and was the topic of conversation for the announcers
the remainder of the night--mostly because the assistant coach put him back in
and he hobbled up and down the court. He left the game again, presumably for an
x-ray but the next thing you knew he was back in the game hobbling up and down
the court again. I'm all for leadership on the court but. . . .I wouldn't expect
him to play today but haven't seen anything to that effect in the local papers.
Not surprising given the late game and time difference.
