Senior Godwin Okonji had a block against the Shockers, and he now has 91 in his career, ranking 5th all-time and one behind Ime Oduok (1993-96)... The Lions 52.8 percent shooting in the opener was the best since hitting 55.4 percent against NAU on Nov. 17, 2013 and the 28.0 percent against Nebraska was the lowest since hitting 25 percent against seventh-ranked Gonzaga on Jan. 31, 2013... Okonji had his second career double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds against Boise State. He has played in 106 career games, while fellow senior Ayodeji Egbeyemi played in his 102nd game...

Against Nebraska, the Lions outrebounded the Huskers 40-22, including a 16-2 edge on the offensive glass. It balanced the turnover edge for NU, who forced the Lions into 20 turnovers to just 13 for them. In the last five games, the Lions have committed 85 turnovers to their opponent’s 51, that is 17.0 to 10.2 per game. It has led to a 93-53 edge in points off turnovers. In the game against Nebraska, neither team could not make the best of their advantage, as the Lions held just a 4-0 edge in second chance points and both teams scored 10 points off turnovers.
