First. Perfect game by Buzz and the Ags. Clean slate. No downgrades.


As for Tominaga, yes, pretty annoying but I had to respect his intensity and love of the game. His tears at the end of the game said it all. Would love to have him on my team.

Lost respect when he started trash talking
Dude is a little gnat and we just swatted him away

On one hand, I liked his passion; on the other hand, his little celebrations after every made basket was grating.

Oh, that's right; nobody else trash talks out there. Have you ever played basketball?

Especially when they were down by a lot. He looked like Munch's "The Scream"

Good shooter, but not a D1 player on defense. Hoiberg knows it and had to keep taking him out after trying to hide him. Boots and Manny were looking to go right at them, and blew by him every time they had the chance. Really a poor defensive player.

I was sick of watching him because of the love fest and how he constantly cries to the refs. I don't think you will hear much of him again after he graduates.

I liked the videos of him before the game. After watching his antics live, wasn't a fan.

Wade and Solo are big trash talkers. They love to talk trash to the opponents' bench after a shot.

I was actually pretty impressed with Wade's composure last night. He was locked in and wasn't talking as much as he usually does.

He's literally the worst defensive player I've ever seen on a major conference team and I'm not saying that for hyperbole.

He's a fun offensive player though.

Didn't understand why the production was treating him like he was a March Madness legend from the second he stepped on to the court. Including after the Aggies absolutely trashed Nebraska ... was more shots of him crying than Aggies celebrating. Was really strange. NCAA Tournament has no shortage of organic awesome moments and stars ... don't need to artificially create one.

We just kicked your ass with our play on the court

I don't like the trash tally when they do it either but that other guy was just way too animated with everything he did

Don't like him

Because that's what media do when two teams with limited national appeal are playing. They glom on to whatever storyline they can create without putting in much work. I get it, though. How many Japanese 3 point specialists have we seen play the Big Dance over the years? If they had been winning and in control then you would have also heard nonstop commentary on the only Power 5 team to never win a Tournament game finally getting it done.

But that didn't happen, did it?

Why did Solo get the double technical with him when he had his shot blocked? It didn't look like he did or said anything back. He was making the technical sign and pointing at him.

Wade's "this is what I do" expression was the perfect counter to Tominaga's "omg I can't believe I actually hit that" routine.

On the bright side the saki is probably on the house any where he goes in Nebraska so no hard feelings.

Our tech was actually on Manny, not Solo, I assume he let one of the magic words fly and the refs were probably hoping to give a double tech anyway.

I didn't care for him but in general I don't like post shot theatrics.

He's the kind of guy you want coming off your bench to
Spread defenses out rather than a starting player on a real contending team

Post shot theatrics after the very first make of the game are what is ridiculous. 25 for Clemson did the same thing, and I enjoyed nothing more than rooting against him for the rest is the game.

That said I don't like when anyone "shushes" the opposing crowd. You just did it with your shot- that should be it.

He was annoying af. Way more theatrics than actual talent. He's an unathletic kid who apparently has spent a lot of time practicing 3's. He should put some of that effort into actually learning to play defense.

I wanted to like him, but in the end he's just an annoying little piss ant.

I didn't mind it. Dude was going shot for shot with Wade early on and then we tightened coverage on him and he stopped shooting. They should have forced the issue and ran him off every screen they could until he could get a look. He didn't need much space to get his shot off.

He wasn't a good defender but their whole team wasn't playing good defense.

For those that didn't like his trash talk, what did you think of Wade shhhing the crowd after his 3rd 3pter?

It was 95% Nebraska there and I loved it. We were surrounded by cornhuskers and a lot of f bombs were dropped but that doesnt bother me. I was laughing and ribbing with them from pregame to the end. By the end they were really quiet. My 4yo was screaming "let's go Aggies!" The entire game everytime Nebraska had the ball. Was quite hilarious

That's because he will be playing professionally in Japan for the next 10-15 years.

Main reason he gets attention is his race. He gets abused on D

Didn't like that either- but it's a little less ridiculous after 3 in a row as opposed to your first shot.
