Peterson.Д«ryce McGowens has 15 assists in the four game since his brother, Trey, went down with a broken foot. Nebraska guard Bryce McGowens (5) battles under the hoop against South Dakota guards Xavier Fuller (3) and Damani Hayes (25) in the second half. Perfect timing for us it was great to see him get going like he did.вЂќДЇive-star freshman Bryce McGowens continues to expand his game and put forth a pretty complete performance against on Saturday with 22 points on 6-of-12 from the field (2-of-5 from 3) and 8-of-10 from the foul line, nine rebounds and four assists.

ItвЂ™s a thing of beauty, itвЂ™s whatвЂ™s gotten him to this point and it was just a matter of time before he took the lid off. So I was just really trying to get them back out and shoot with confidence and trust the stroke. I think weвЂ™ve got a couple guys that were doing that. I havenвЂ™t said much to him just because of how good a shooter he is, but sometimes human nature as a shooter when youвЂ™re missing is to try to get closer to the rim and just try to guide it in. вЂњHeвЂ™s just a guy that puts so much time and effort and work into it.,вЂќ Hoiberg said. Tominaga admitted he was a little nervous as he made the adjustment to the Division I level and was letting the nerves impact his shot a bit.

He shot 8-of-11 from the field, 5-of-6 from 3 and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line while adding two assists and two steals. Tominaga finished with a game-high 23 points in an 83-70 win over the вЂYotes at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The sharp-shooter from Japan had made just four of his first 19 3-point attempts as a Husker heading into Saturday afternoonвЂ™s tilt, but it took him just 22 minutes to eclipse that total against the Coyotes. Turns out it was sooner as Nebraska shot a season-high 39.1% from deep against South Dakota behind a breakout game from junior college transfer Keisei Tominaga.

Fred Hoiberg said on Friday that he felt good about his teamвЂ™s shooting and was confident the shots would start falling sooner or later.
