My staff convinced me to try an experiment tonight. I'm starting Troy in place of Nelke to try to get Troy going. Nelke will still play most of the 1st half.

14:15 - Both sides running early. We lead 14-9. I bring in Nelke for Troy. Troy has 4 points.

Nelke hits his first shot, a three.

After a miss by Oregon, Nelke and Galbreath on the fastbreak.. Galbreath with a perfect bounce pass into the paint, Nelke dunks it.


Nelke has triggered a 10-0 run. He has 7 points and an assist already.

Nelke gets a 2nd foul on Cross. He's scoring in bunches.

Nelke with a heat check.. a 3 from the top of the key.. and it is good. He's on fire.

8:45 - Halsch picks up his 2nd foul. I bring back Troy and slide Nelke to PF. We lead 37-19!

6:55 - Zimmerman picks up his 2nd foul. I rest all of my starters. McDade, Connolly, Troy, Nelke, and Vega are in the game now. We lead 43-21.


Halftime: I'd say the experiment is a huge success! We lead 55-26.

Nelke is the player of the half with 26 points! He also has 3 boards, 3 assists, a steal, and a block. He is 3 of 3 from the arc.

Zimmerman with 12. 3 players with 5.


We go back to our starters for the 2nd half.


15:56 - Troy with a very good first 4 minutes before they call a timeout. We lead 63-30.

14:00 - Nelke is going to get 4-5 minutes to see if he can hit his career high because I want to make sure Oregon is completely done. We lead 66-36.

His first shot is a fade away 10 footer that swishes.

9:10 - Nelke played too unselfishly. No new career high for him. We are leading 85-48. I bring in McDade, Dillard, Connolly, Troy, and Vega.

4:00 - I get Antone Dawson into the game at PG. We lead 93-66.


We win the game 98-76.
