Big Finish #1

The ISU men did a nice job holding off three Nebraska runs in the second half in Lincoln.

While it is maddening watching Maric score 30+ in the lane, there is a method to the madness. If Maric is taking 30 shots in the lane, that's 30 potential threes everyone else isn't taking. As long as Maric doesn't make more than 20 the math works for you. The rest of the Nebraska team didn't keep up their end of the bargain going 4-15 from outside, which allowed ISU to hold on.

Given that NU is a likely matchup in OKC, having two wins, using different techniques, is a nice mental advantage.
