Texas A&M vs. Nebraska - First Round NCAA tournament extended highlights

were really vocal before this game began. Tominaga feeds the post. This is rink mask spins into the double. What a pass underneath. Now the interior defense for A&M was there. Well Washington a factor just then. But a nice interior pass as you mentioned this is Wade Taylor. Just sensational. And the SEC tournament. And he picks up where he left off. Well he can a lot from the outside. But a beauty off the dribble just then watch him with his jump shots throughout the course of this game. Spirit one of the best rotations I've ever seen on a ball. Nice ball. Fake this is Tominaga ho pocket three. Love they look for the paint off the dribble and now watch this. That's a little slide step. And there it is baby woo. That's excitement he brings. Very quickly, just for your own, look up with the stiff hands here. The way they reacted, Taylor tells him to quiet down. So Wade Taylor. Has hit his first two tells him to quiet down. So Wade Taylor. Has hit his first two shots. Early three point lead for the Aggies. Wow Oh my God. Fabulous. Love the reaction. Here comes a basic he a little Good point. A little off balance flick at the rim. Oh he's going to get the bounce this Ross Williams with a chance at three. You asked for some offense. We'll get a little more going. We'll get a little more going. Watch him here. Do his work drifting back now. Watch the ball. 123. Bang Andrew Catalon. It's an experience veteran laden team. That was playing some of its best basketball of the season. Towards the end of the Big Ten campaign. Nice little floater inside. That's Radford. And how about that little trick to going across and spinning it down. What a beautiful read though by mass. Just then Taylor he is deadly for three. You do not want to get him going early already. But, boy, the stars have come and they are showing out here at the start. Taylor Just sensational and this kid with the three point shot. Believe it or not, he's only a 32% three ball shooter during the course of the season, Troy Mastny can stroke it. And these two teams trading punches at the number one rebounding team on the offensive side Texas A&M with 17 per Tominaga. For three. And even he can't believe it. Just sensational and this kid Tominaga. Already three threes for Nebraska. We'll be switching network shortly to continue VERY, VERY PRO-NEBRASKA CROWD. >> Jim: UNBELIEVABLE TURNOUT, AS LINCOLN WELL-REPRESENTED TONIGHT HERE IN MEMPHIS. >> Spero: HERE'S BRICE WILLIAMS.

WATCH HIM MAKE THIS BIG MOVE AROUND THE CORNER RIGHT HERE AND THROW HIS BODY UP AND FINALLY GET THE BALL SOMEHOW -- I'M NOT SURE HOW HE WAS ABLE TO SQUEEZE THAT ONE THROUGH AFTER THE BODY BUMPS. BUT THE OFFICIALS -- EVEN BUZZ WILLIAMS IS MAKING THE VIOLATION WALKING SIGN. >> Spero: I THINK YOU CAN DO THAT IN THE NBA, BUT NOT COLLEGIATELY. >> Spero: TOMINAGA, MID RANGE JAY, NO.

HEFNER HAS CHECKED IN FOR THE AGGIES. OFFENSIVE REBOUND, RED ADFORD W A CHANCE AT THREE! >> Jim: THEY PUT IT UP, AND THEN PRETTY SOFT SHOT FROM THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE MOST OF THEM GO TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE, AND THEY'RE READY FOR IT. THEY'RE THE ONLY POWER CONFERENCE TEAM REMARKABLY THAT HAS NEVER WON AN NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME. RADFORD ON THE DRIVE, THE PUTBACK UP AND DOWN. IT'S COLEMAN! >> Jim: THEY OFFENSIVE REBOUND WE JUST HEARD BUZZ SAY WE'LL TAKE A SELECTIVE RUN OUT IF WE CAN. WE DON'T WANT THEM TO RACEHORSE UP AND DOWN.

TOOK A BUMP AND HITS ANYWAY. >> Jim: NO TIME OFF THE CLOCK TO >> Spero: HOW DOES NEBRASKA GET THEIR OFFENSE RECALIBRATED HERE? >> Jim: I THINK THEY HAVE TO SETTLE DOWN. COUPLE LOOK TIRED OUT THERE IN TERMS OF BREATHING HARD. >> Spero: THAT'LL WORK. >> Jim: IT'S ALWAYS HELPFUL TO GO TO THE BASKET. I SAY IT SO OFTEN, BUT WHEN I SAY IT SO OFTEN, BUT WHEN YOU'RE STRUGGLING, BREAK SOMEBODY DOWN, GO TO THE BASKET AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET SOME LIFE BACK IN YOUR TEAM. >> Spero: DRIVE AND FINISH BY BRICE WILLIAMS. OBASEKI PUTTING HIS IMPRINT ON THIS ONE! AND HE HAS COME ALIVE FOR A&M. WITH 3:30 TO PLAY BEFORE HALF TIME. >> Jim: LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE IN A MATCHUP ZONE AGAIN. >> Spero: OBASEKI KNIVES INSIDE, AND HE'S TO THE LINE. >> Jim: ONE OF THE REASON YOU GO TO ONE OF THESE MATCHUPS IS TO NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT EASY IF YOU WILL WITH GUYS STEPS OUT A LITTLE QUICKER TO DEFEND THAT. >> Spero: THERE IS AN PLAYING VERY, VERY WELL. >> Spero: NICE MOVE HERE.

WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR NUMBER HAS BEEN CALLED, YOU COME OUT READY FLOOR. COMES BACK IN WITH 23. 8 FOR 12 FROM THE FLOOR, SEVEN FOR NINE FOR THE THREES. >> Spero: TOMINAGA. >> Jim: HE WAS SLEEPING TOMINAGA BLANKETED. OFF BALANCE, ERRANT PASS. WHAT DEFENSE BY WASHINGTON! INSIDE. THE AGGIES WORKING QUICKLY, AND TEXAS A&M STARTING TO FLEX. IN THE PRESEASON POLL IN THE BIG TEN. >> Jim: WATCH OUT. >> Spero: MY GOODNESS. WASHINGTON, DID HE JUMP OVER TOMINAGA? >> Jim: I HE WOULD HAVE, BUT HE WAS JUST A TOUCH IN FRONT OF NEBRASKA IN THE TOURNAMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TEN YEARS.

GUYS ON THE FLOOR WHO CAN HANDLE A BALL ALSO. >> Spero: THIS IS CARTER, A LITTLE FAKE. STRONG MOVE TO THE CUP. >> Jim: I DON'T THINK WE'VE SPOKEN ENOUGH ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY'VE REALLY DRIVEN IT WHEN THEY'VE NEEDED TO IN TOUGH SITUATIONS AND HOW THEY GO AGGRESSIVELY WITH THEIR BODIES CHARGING IN. >> Spero: BOY, WILLIAMS, STRONG MOVE, REACH-IN AGAINST TAYLOR. >> Jim: A&M WITH THE DRIVE. LITTLE BALL FAKE. WATCH THE WAY HE THROWS THE BODY AT THE DEFENDER. STRAIGHT UP, JUST FINISHES IT OFF. AS WILLIAMS IS GOING TO SHOOT HIS 10th AND 11th FREE THROWS OF THE NIGHT. HE'S GOT 21 FOR THE HUSKERS. 23 FROM THE THREE AND GETTING 23 FREE THROW OPPORTUNITIES, ONLY FIVE TURNOVERS, THAT'S A GOOD FOUNDATION. >> Spero: GARY DROPS IT OFF TO WILLIAMS FOR THE LAY-UP, AND IT'S 96-79. REMEMBER WHAT THE AGGIES DID IN THE S.E.C. TOURNAMENT, KNOCKED OFF THE TWO SEED KENTUCKY IN THE THE TOURNAMENT. THEN IN THE SEMIS AGAINST FLORIDA, THEY WERE UP 18 IN THE FIRST HALF BEFORE THE GATORS CAME BACK. JACE CARTER, THEY JUST WILL NOT STOP. >> Jim: NUMBER 14 ON THE OF 17 A NIGHT.
