I threw out the last 2 minutes of the game because it was free throws and intentional fouls and a lot of substitutions.... with 8 points for each team.
Ty Berry's injury followed immediately after NU's best segment of the game, a 9-2 blitz with Hunger, Martinelli, Berry, Langborg and Buie on the court for 2:16.
Assuming Berry is not going to be able to play against Penn State, the new starting lineup will be Nicholson / Martinelli / Barnhizer / Langborg / Buie.
That group scored 33 and allowed 34 in under 18 minutes against the Cornhuskers.
Jordan Clayton played 9 minutes and we scored 9 and allowed 8 when he was on the court (ignoring the garbage time, of course).
Luke Hunger played 10 minutes and NU put up an impressive 25 points and allowing 14.
We usually score at a high rate when Luke is in the game.
Brooks Barnhizer, Ryan Langborg and Boo Buie provided the margin of victory.
Buie had a bad stretch from about 8 minutes to 2:30 in the 2nd half, knocking him off the "star of the game" podium.
The "Golden Lineup" of Nicholson, Martinelli, Barnhizer, Berry and Buie played 38 seconds and lost 3-2.
This was the segment where Berry hurt his knee and Barnhizer fouled Tominaga on a 3 point attempt.
Fingers crossed that the Golden Lineup gets back on the court soon.
If Berry can't play, we're looking at the oft-discussed injury scenario. We have 5 guys playing 4 positions. What are we going to do if one of those 5 guys gets hurt?
If Collins really wants his best players on the court then he will play Preston and Hunger more than he plays Clayton.
Clayton will have to play better than he has so far or he will be a drag on our future performances.
Hopefully Berry is good to go. Otherwise, its time to see how well we've developed "Plan B."
