      It was a nice win on the road.  Anytime you win on the road in the Big 12 it is an achievement.  The Husker could have won this game fairly handily had they shot well.  The shooting continues to be the Achille's heel.  They were 19-44 for two-pointers, 8-20 for three-pointers, and 20-30 from the line.  This isn't just rat ugly shooting but it sure isn't great.  From the line it is .667 but a lot lot of those were down the stretch when we needed to put the game away.  Maric missed several in that time frame.

      With that said I am definitely a Doc Sadler fan.  I could be wrong but I believe he is exactly what the program needed.  He just needs the usual 2-3 years to get his players in place.
