Underwood: Well we obviously got out of shooting funk in the 1st half vs. Iowa. Challenging game given our health situation. Wasn't going to play Mark Smith but out of necessity. Leron has been sick for some time.
Underwood: They scored from the free-throw line on silly fouls. And then a 10-0 run to start the half. Whooped us on the glass. That one is behind us.
Underwood: Nebraska has a good backcourt. They can shoot it. Copeland gives them a different dynamic. Great environment.. Heard a lot about it.
Underwood: Yesterday was Mark Smith's first full practice in 5 or 6 days.
Underwood: No change in the status of Te'Jon Lucas. He will not be traveling with us.
Underwood: Trent's energy in practice has been incredible the last 2 days. Even better than he was the other night. Hoping that can be contagious.
Underwood: You find out the character and personality about your time in times of adversity. Find out if the locker room becomes divided or comes together. Find out what kind of man you are.
Underwood: Feel like Trent's swagger and confidence is oozing into our locker room. This team has shown that they're capable with three overtime losses. We're not far off. Can't let discouragement be the voice of reason.
Underwood: Michael (Finke) has got a tremendous amount of pride. Every day he's in early shooting. Had a long conversation with him yesterday. He's asking what can I do & what can I learn. He's hard on himself. I expect him to play well against Neb & the rest of the year.
Underwood: Have to look at getting Greg more minutes. Greg's athleticism & ability to rim-run creates problems for opponents. Creates space. Playing with tremendous confidence. Best 2 days of practice the last few days.
