LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska hadnt planned to run its offense through Tai Webster and Jack McVeigh Saturday. It just worked out that the pair each had career scoring nights to lead the Huskers over Louisiana Tech 65-54.Webster had 17 of his 23 points in the first half, many of them coming off drives to the basket on which he either scored or went to the free throw line where he hit 7 of 8 shots.It just kind of played out that way, Webster said of his drives. Theyre a real aggressive defensive team and they force a lot of turnovers, obviously, Im living proof of it. I was just trying to match the aggression and not let me be on the back foot from it. Just attack them, bring the game to them.McVeigh scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half after the Bulldogs sent multiple defenders at Webster.Honestly, the shots just came to me, McVeigh said. They extended the pressure and with the pressure comes rotations and with rotations theres an open man. My teammates found me. Four of the six (field goals) were assisted on. Theyre easy looks when Im getting good passes from my teammates.Nebraska (3-0) led 45-41 when McVeigh hit a 3-pointer with 11:56 left, followed that up with a layup and Evan Taylor knocked down a jumper with 9:53 remaining that put the Huskers up 52-41.Louisiana Tech (1-2) traded baskets with Nebraska over the next six minutes, with Ed Morrow Jrs dunk giving the Huskers a 60-50 lead with 3:53 left. But Nebraska didnt hit another field goal.The Bulldogs Erik McCree hit a pair of jumpers to cut the Nebraska lead to six with 57 seconds left. But McVeigh hit two of three free throws and Webster added a pair to seal the win.Theres no question, we really just couldnt get over the hump and really build some momentum, said Louisiana Tech coach Eric Konkol. It seemed like every time we got close, we missed a shot or we turned it over or theyd get a bucket on the other end. We just couldnt get over the hump tonight. Got to give them a lot of credit. I thought they played some stingy defense and made it very difficult on us.Nebraska coach Tim Miles also praised the defense of his six primary players and particularly their toughness at the end.I thought the last four minutes we were a very, very tough team, Miles said. I thought there was a stretch in there where they were out-toughing us. But I thought we finished it the way they were doing it earlier. That was really important. Were not going to win otherwise.Nebraska won the game at the free throw line, outscoring Louisiana Tech by 15 from the stripe. The Huskers hit 11 of 12 first half free throws while Louisiana Tech was just 4 of 10. Nebraska hit 10 of 12 free throws in the second half. The Bulldogs were 2 of 2.McCree led Louisiana Tech with 16 points.QUOTABLEMcVeigh and Webster are roommates and were asked who had to buy dinner since they both had career highs Saturday. Webster replied: I guess I have to, hes the older one. Ill probably cook something. Out of the two, Im the best. He hooked me up the other day with some good seafood. So well see.THE BIG PICTURENebraska: Nebraska continues to search for production from its bench.

Spieth was the pick of the performers as part of Thursdays marquee group alongside Rory McIlroy and Jason Day, posting an opening-round 69 to stay within three strokes of early pacesetter Scott Piercy.The world No 1 has struggled to find replicate last years major-winning form since cruising to victory at Januarys Hyundai Tournament of Championship, missing out on a top-20 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach and suffering an early exit at the Northern Trust Open. Speith briefly moved within two strokes of the lead with a final-hole birdie Although the 22-year-old fired five birdies during his round and carded a bogey-free back nine on the Blue Monster, Spieth feels he has more work to do to get his game completely back on track.I dont feel great about the way I am striking the ball, Spieth told Sky Sports. Ive been doing quite a bit of work.Im working really hard trying to develop patience through my swing and get into my right side. I have been transitioning a little quick and that leads to a shorter swing and more inconsistent ball striking. We (the marquee group) had fun and for a while there were feeding off each other, turning in two, two and three under.dddddddddddd It was nice to try and get into a rhythm together because the last few weeks have been a little rough on all three of us.McIlroy found the water off the final tee on his way to a one-under 71, while Day fared the worst of the marquee group with a level-par 72. Day birdied two of his opening three holes It wasnt that bad, Day said. Shooting even par is not a bad score around here.It was a little rough day with me and my short game. Usually thats kind of the strength of my game, but I had no idea what the putts were doing out there on the greens.On top of it, wasnt chipping it close enough to hole those putts. Four bogeys is not what I wanted to have, especially in the first round.Watch the WGC-Cadillac Championship live throughout the week on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.
