BTN is broadcasting Lamar at Indiana Saturday evening. Also, you have to remember that Big Ten Nebraska is the visitor, and A10 Rhode Island is the host.

Per the CoxHub Live schedule (http://www.coxhub.com/coxhublive) they will be showing the game, but there is not a purchase price listed at this time. A couple of games they've previously shown have been priced at $5.00, so nothing that'll break the bank. If you've got a laptop with an HDMI out port, you can easily connect it to a plasma/LCD/LED TV and you should be set. The quality might not be as great as a TV broadcast, but it's better than nothing. UPDATE:

Turned down tickets because of the cold? Also, you thought KU was the number 2 team before last night? Lol...

I went through a sign phase during Tim's first season. I made them up in Photoshop and then emailed them over to Kinko's for extra large prints. I did black and white because the cost is really low and color prints are crazy expensive. Here's a few that I put together: http://i.imgur.com/HKvZ79K.jpg http://i.imgur.com/oVsRPlz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2zLMdfm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fOdQpcX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DcKKKNm.jpg (inside joke between friends) http://i.imgur.com/y2MygS5.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7Mabj6Q.jpg

It's not like there's any solid alternative. 1480's Necessary Roughness (Gregeth) is pretty bad too.

When did we ever get any sort of hint that Leslie would be playing at all this season?

I believe the tweet says reserves not newcomers. It may just be a matter of semantics but there is a difference. It is not likely the first part of the scrimmage would be played with just the 5 starters so it is very possible that some newcomers would be in that first group. Though it is unlikely due to his lack of eligibility this season that White would not be playing with the reserves. From the LJS: http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/life-in-the-red/huskers-win-secret-scrimmage/article_b8e18ffa-5d74-11e4-a59c-5bfd113b2924.html This may be poor reading comprehension on my part, but is Rosenthal referring to Tai being 3-for-3 on 3-pointers?! If so, color me pleasantly surprised.

Not so sure about that, season tickets were sold out last year and they are again this year. If anything the number of tickets available will remain unchanged. The only tickets available to the general public via the ticket office will be turn backs from visiting teams, so it should only be at most a few dozen tickets available through the ticket office for each game and probably only then will be made available shortly before game time. Now, the secondary market is a different story... Guys, you are reading "sold out Pinnacle Bank Arena" and thinking that means that we have 15,000 season ticket holders. That is simply not the case - at least last year (it's harder to predict this season). Last year, they received commitments for season tickets from a large number of Husker fans, but quite a few backed off when given the bill in August/September. In addition to that, they held back a number of tickets - well over 1,000 - for single game tickets that they never offered as season tickets in the first place. Even though it was quoted often, it was really not true to call PBA "sold out all season" or whatever I kept hearing. Am I the only one who noticed the empty sections of the 300 level in the exact same spots every game (except FGCU, Wisconsin, and 1-2 others)? Those were not season tickets. They were single game tickets available to be bought, but not sold. I do think that the scenario you are describing will be much closer to the truth this year. - A few "backed off" when the bill arrived in the summer last year, it was to be expected, and they filled those numbers in from the waiting list, just as they filled in the 3% of non-renewals from the waiting list this year - Big Ten rules require each team to make a certain number of tickets available to visiting teams and there are also tickets held back for players' families, press and corporate sponsors. There is no conspiracy by the AD to artificially claim a sell out, these tickets would be held back regardless...these sections total about a thousand seats - The empty seats in the 300 level that we all saw at some games were apparently student section overflow areas...I have heard no reports that can confirm or deny this, but it makes sense to me and it also makes sense to me that there may be students that would choose to watch the game from the concourse area on the north end rather than all the way up there if they couldn't get in to the seats in 100 level - It may also shock you to know that there are a number of people (myself included) who are season ticket holders that didn't manage to make it to every single game, limiting attendance to less than 15,000 in more than a few cases, but the tickets remained sold. It's a quaint concept I know, but it is the definition of "sell out". (okay, that last one was a tad over the top on the snarky side, but most people should be able to understand the difference between a sell out and a full house) At any event, the upshot of the deal is, there is no change in the number of season tickets sold from last year to this year. They're all sold. Ticket availability on the primary and secondary markets should remain pretty much unchanged. Higher demand games like Michigan State, Indiana and yes, even Creighton, should be very difficult to come by. I hope Nebraska fans will show up in full force at a certain game on December 7th against a certain team from up the road. Just as a request...please don't sell your tickets to them. Limit their seating to however many the visitors are allotted. A potential thorn is that the Big Ten Championship is the night before in Indy. The game doesn't start until 6:00 PM. If people in Indy are on the road by 7:30-8:00 AM, they should be in decent shape.

Any idea what tickets are going to look like this year?

I noticed sometimes those 100% predictions are because only one guy has offered a guess and he made his guess a year ago. But, because it's the only guess, it makes it 100% for that team, whatever it is. If he's coming here for a visit, it ain't no 100% Purdue. It's now 75% Purdue and 25% Nebraska. Jerry Meyer (247Sports Director of Basketball Scouting) has now flipped his prediction to Nebraska. I wouldn't be too concerned about Purdue at 75% right, considering we just offered him today, Also, it certainly doesn't hurt to have Watson recruiting him too:

Glynn is N!

There is no way -- NO WAY -- the NBA takes three players from one team that doesn't at least make the Elite 8. So ... if we get an Elite 8 out of it, I think I can live with the loss of 3 starters. Kentucky lost to Robert Morris in the first round of the 2013 NIT, and then proceeded to have both Nerlens Noel and Archie Goodwin drafted in the first round. NBA teams care very little about actual college production, and draft almost exclusively on potential.

Chrome asked me if I wanted to translate this page to English. I said yes, and this is what the Puerto Rican roster became: Shipowners - Carlos Arroyo, José Juan Barea and Carlos Rivera Escorts and eaves - David Huertas, Angel D. Vassallo, Alexander Franklin and Alex Galindo Front and pivots - Ramon Clemente, Ricky Sanchez, Renaldo Balkman, Jorge Brian Diaz and Danny Santiago

It's official, Arop is N!

Those "sources" close to Arop should've kept their mouths shut. Lee is a reporter. He simply did his job. No reason for Callahan or Washut to have their panties in a twist.

Are we watching the same player? Are you insane?

Sorry I haven't been more attentive to some of the requests for additional designs. I still plan to get around to some of the other suggestions from other people in this thread. If Dimes decides to go with the designs already submitted, that'd be alright too.

So. What you're saying is, he doesn't? Shies away from contact. Too finesse. On behalf of Cip, I feel compelled to add that he didn't shy away from contact that night in Antelope Park..... Tierra Park, but the location is hardly relevant.

So, can someone please explain how Jamie Dixon is at #25? He's got to be one of the most overrated coaches in the country. He's just another Rick Barnes. Sure Pitt achieves moderate success every once in a while, but what has he actually done to make himself stand out?

http://espn.go.com/ncb/notebook/_/page/top50coaches50-25/top-50-coaches No. 32: Tim Miles, Nebraska A couple of years ago, Tim Miles was the funny coach with the funny Twitter feed, the guy most likely to be sitting alone at Big Ten media day while simultaneously making fun of himself for sitting alone at Big Ten media day. (Five years ago, at Big 12 media day, that coach was Fred Hoiberg. My how things change.) Now, after taking the Cornhuskers to their first NCAA tournament since 1998 in just his second season, Miles is a bona fide rising star in the profession. He's turning Nebraska into a real program, and he has the long-run backing of the athletics department, and the elite facilities, to finish the job. 25. Jamie Dixon, Pittsburgh 26.

I apparently completely missed this already having been posted.

I have a hat with this exact same design made by Zephyr. If I recall correctly, I think it's a size 7 1/2 (fitted) and it's got a curved bill. I don't wear it anymore because my head has gotten even fatter somehow. It's a bit grungy (can be washed obviously), but if you're at all interested, let me know.
