WINNERS BRACKET, BABY!!

[aphilso1]

11 PM game?  C'mon, some of us got kids and can only sleep in 'til 6 am.  I can't be going to bed at 1 in the morning!  But on the other hand...it's not like I get to see us play UCLA every year...

I'll gladly watch a late night, being in the winner's bracket is a huge RPI boost in the early season. GBR

Just another opportunity for a third (or fourth) helping of Thanksgiving leftovers!

[throwback]

As Coach Miles put it, we're in the big boy side of the bracket now - it's almost like being promoted to the grown-ups table at Thanksgiving dinner. Dayton can sit at the card table on the folding chair.

 And no ESPN3 games now!

Solid 3rd place matchup between the Huskers and Hokies. NU needs to go 2-1 this weekend to be considered a successful tourney. Third in this field is a fairly good result when you're facing as many potential NCAA-type tourney teams as possible.

Virginia Tech is a good measuring stick. Not a great team, but definitely a good resume win on a neutral court.

 

Added benefit: Great game if you love screaming at the opposing coach, he's a complete tool.

Isn't Buzz's biggest claim to fame that he was Micheal Jordan's roommate at UNC?

...no... Buzz played at Texas A&M-Kingsville.

[throwback]

Back to back games coming up vs ACC teams - not sure that's ever happened before.

 

Hope NU's players don't ride the tea cups too many times at Disneyland today. That can really mess with your equilibrium.

[royalfan]

I don't think they will be sitting during the National Anthem.

That's Buzz Peterson, who also coached at UNC after Bill Guthridge.

 

Here's a cool story about Dean Smith's gesture to UNC players upon his death:

*Peterson, Pederson...*

[HuskerFever]

Can I just step back for a moment and mention, even before the result of this game against VaTech, that I'm really happy to see how our team has played in this tournament. We look like a different team than we did the last couple of years. And it's worth mentioning that we made it difficult or a Top 15 team to play their normal style of offense and held them to season lows in many different categories. Sure, there's a shade of rose in these sunglasses, but we haven't boded this well in most early-season tournaments in the past.

[Red Don]

ESPN seems to be showing the Husker - VA Tech Game starts @ 3:00 pm CST (1:00 pm PST)  instead of 3:30 pm.

(Don't want anybody to inadvertently miss part of the game!  )

It will be interesting because the fifth-place game starts at 1 p.m. CT/11 a.m. PT. Given that they need 30 minutes between games, I imagine the start will be 3:30 p.m. CT/1:30 p.m. PT. But you're right, that's the listing as of now. As long as all games are in the Honda Center (and they are), a 3 p.m. CT start seems unlikely.

[Red Don]

Point is to set your dvr's and 'stay tuned' so as not to miss any of the game!    (I know I will)

[throwback]

Yeah, I'd imagine ESPN/TV guide lists it that way in case first game ends early, then NU-VT starts 1/2 hour later, so it could start at say 3:25 or something.

Not sure who you're thinking of, but it's certainly not Buzz Williams.  He's the best human being coaching D1 today.
