  • Juwan and Brice finally played like Juwan and Brice.
  • What brought about the renewed defensive intensity.
  • Fred has shortened the rotation, why has that seemed to work?
  • Why was Nebraska able to survive getting significantly outrebounded?
  • Sam Hoiberg gets minutes he hasn't seen since Pius X.
  • The trip to the Northwest and what's still possible.
