LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska hadnt planned to run its offense through Tai Webster and Jack McVeigh Saturday. It just worked out that the pair each had career scoring nights to lead the Huskers over Louisiana Tech 65-54.Webster had 17 of his 23 points in the first half, many of them coming off drives to the basket on which he either scored or went to the free throw line where he hit 7 of 8 shots.It just kind of played out that way, Webster said of his drives. Theyre a real aggressive defensive team and they force a lot of turnovers, obviously, Im living proof of it. I was just trying to match the aggression and not let me be on the back foot from it. Just attack them, bring the game to them.McVeigh scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half after the Bulldogs sent multiple defenders at Webster.Honestly, the shots just came to me, McVeigh said. They extended the pressure and with the pressure comes rotations and with rotations theres an open man. My teammates found me. Four of the six (field goals) were assisted on. Theyre easy looks when Im getting good passes from my teammates.Nebraska (3-0) led 45-41 when McVeigh hit a 3-pointer with 11:56 left, followed that up with a layup and Evan Taylor knocked down a jumper with 9:53 remaining that put the Huskers up 52-41.Louisiana Tech (1-2) traded baskets with Nebraska over the next six minutes, with Ed Morrow Jrs dunk giving the Huskers a 60-50 lead with 3:53 left. But Nebraska didnt hit another field goal.The Bulldogs Erik McCree hit a pair of jumpers to cut the Nebraska lead to six with 57 seconds left. But McVeigh hit two of three free throws and Webster added a pair to seal the win.Theres no question, we really just couldnt get over the hump and really build some momentum, said Louisiana Tech coach Eric Konkol. It seemed like every time we got close, we missed a shot or we turned it over or theyd get a bucket on the other end. We just couldnt get over the hump tonight. Got to give them a lot of credit. I thought they played some stingy defense and made it very difficult on us.Nebraska coach Tim Miles also praised the defense of his six primary players and particularly their toughness at the end.I thought the last four minutes we were a very, very tough team, Miles said. I thought there was a stretch in there where they were out-toughing us. But I thought we finished it the way they were doing it earlier. That was really important. Were not going to win otherwise.Nebraska won the game at the free throw line, outscoring Louisiana Tech by 15 from the stripe. The Huskers hit 11 of 12 first half free throws while Louisiana Tech was just 4 of 10. Nebraska hit 10 of 12 free throws in the second half. The Bulldogs were 2 of 2.McCree led Louisiana Tech with 16 points.QUOTABLEMcVeigh and Webster are roommates and were asked who had to buy dinner since they both had career highs Saturday. Webster replied: I guess I have to, hes the older one. Ill probably cook something. Out of the two, Im the best. He hooked me up the other day with some good seafood. So well see.THE BIG PICTURENebraska: Nebraska continues to search for production from its bench. Nebraskas non-starters contributed just 2 points in the first half and six in the second half in a combined 53 minutes of time on the floor.Louisiana Tech: Louisiana Tech has one more trip to a power 5 conference school in its first six games, playing at California on Nov. 30.

Rio -- In the space of a week, PV Sindhu has written herself into the history books. The first Indian woman to win an Olympic silver medal, Sindhus road to the podium has not been easy, as shes had to make quite a few sacrifices, including but not limited to leaving her mobile phone with her coach Pullela Gopichand for two months.?Soon after her defeat in the final to World No.1 Carolina Marin, Sindhu opened up about her preparations for Rio, the inevitable comparisons with Saina Nehwal, and the road ahead.?PV Sindhu. Indias first female athlete to win a silver medal at the Olympics. That in itself is a remarkable achievement...Yes, I think Im really very happy and yes I didnt think (I would come this far) and when I was coming to Rio for the first time, I was really thinking match-by-match. And then Ive come so far...so overall, its just been a wonderful week for me.Do you realise just what youve done to the country today? You are the number one trend across social media...Yes, Im very proud and very thankful. Id like to thank my parents, my coach, and also my support staff out there. Id like to especially thank the crowd out there; theyve really supported me very well. Im very thankful to them. I would like to thank the Indian government. Theyve been really supportive, as have Badminton Association of India. I am really grateful to them because they have prayed for me and made this possible. Thank you.Did you ever feel that you were the second-best player on court during that final?In the first game, I was down but then I came back and won the game. In the second game, I believed that I could do it. I think Carolina Marin played extremely well. After the second game, the third was quite equal. I just gave a few simple errors, and she took the lead of about 3-4 points. I feel that she maintained that throughout the match.First of all, I congratulate her and I feel overall it was a good match for me. It was a good week for me, because I had not thought that I would come to the finals and get a silver medal at the Olympics. Of course, in a match one should lose and one should win, and maybe it was just hers to win today.?You beat three players ranked higher than you coming into this match, but Marin is the World No.1. What aspects of her game did you find toughest to deal with?I think (going into) today, I didnt tell myself that she is No.1. I felt that it was anybodys game today. Whoever really fights hard and gives their best would be the winner. I think both of us did that, and one should win and one should lose.Both of us were really very aggressivve on court, and we wanted this medal.dddddddddddd Because this is the Olympics, and its big - the gold medal match. Anybody would think that I have to take it. Both of us fought for it, and I feel its her day today.Youve had a few early losses this year. Just what changed in Rio?I think Ive really worked hard before coming here, and Ive been training really hard. There are so many sacrifices also, because Gopi sir [her coach Pullela Gopichand] has made many sacrifices, and all of those days, he was on court with me, making me do my training.There was one more player in (Kidambi) Srikanth, and he was also working really hard. I think he too played a really brilliant game. I think my parents have also really worked hard for me, made many sacrifices for me. And I have got a medal for them now.You are among the top 10 singles players of the world now. Whats the next goal? Top five? Winning a Super Series title?Definitely I would try to win (a Super Series title) and from now, I think it will change a lot. With the same confidence, I would go much further and win some of the Super Series titles.Comparisons with Saina Nehwal are inevitable, because she has achieved so much in the sport. Today, do you feel like more of an equal player than you did before because of what you have achieved?I think everybody until the top 20 or 30 rankings is an equal. You dont know when what might happen and things might change anytime any day. So its a different comparison with everybody else. I think with everybody its a different strategy and a different style of play.I think with Saina, its a different thing, because she has achieved a lot more and shes very much elder to me. Yes, shes achieved a lot more. Today finally, I think I have achieved something in my life, because this is my dream. Its anybodys dream to get a medal at the Olympics and Ive done it. Im really very happy.So, Gold in Tokyo 2020?Hopefully yes (smiling), I will definitely work hard to get a gold.Gopi just told us that he didnt give you your phone for the last two months. Now that youve got the silver, what are the one or two things that you want to do when you get home?Now Im in a mood to celebrate, so I want to go back to India as soon as possible. Yes, of course, Im going to get my phone back ?{laughs}. And then Im going to eat a bit of junk food, so thats ok for today, because Ive got a medal and Ive achieved something. Obviously, hes (Gopichand) is not going to say no. Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
