FIRST HALF ANALYSIS:
It’s cold and snowy here in Nebraska, and with the way the game started for the Huskers, you would think it was colder judging by the Husker shooting. USC Upstate controlled the half for a very large portion of it, with Carmelo Adkins scoring 6 quick points for the Spartans. Berke Buyuktuncel and Rienk Mast had 4 points each to help Nebraska stay in it early. The Spartans and Huskers somewhat reversed roles, as USC Upstate came out of the gate hot from the floor and shooting the ball well from beyond the arc.
