Underwood: We get a Nebraska team that really handed it to us from the open. Only one I've felt like we were never in it. Palmer was terrific. I think he got to the foul line 16 times.
Underwood: This is an extremely good Nebraska team. Hate to see Copeland get hurt. But they're a tremendous defensive team.
Underwood: Looking back at the Minnesota game, we had 16 missed shots within 3 feet of the basket. Missed opportunities for and-ones.
Underwood: We didn't get one of our better nights from Ayo & Giorgi. And yet, I thought we had an opportunity to take control of that game up 5.
Underwood: We were all over the place (in the last meeting). We were all over the place. A lot of our ball-screen stuff wasn't in. Probably the one night Ayo looked like a freshman.
Underwood asked what has caused Kipper to fall out of the rotation...
"Tevian. Minutes are earned... But Kip will be fine. He's had a couple good days of practice."
Underwood: Nebraska's defensive numbers are through the roof, and a lot of that is attributed to (Watson).
Underwood asked what he said to Giorgi after his frustrating night at Minnesota...
"I can't repeat that."
"He got a little frustrated, a little emotional. A couple calls he let bother him. He's got to grow from that."
Underwood on communication issues: Quiet teams lose. Maybe we need to put it in a rap song. Teams in this league make you pay for mistakes.
