Key term here is SEC, so you can't get TOO excited..and don't forget it is still football season after all.

Isn't Kentucky in the SEC?  Point is, they are in a power five conference.  It can't help but to build confidence.  Little things can be big things as you move forward.

Mississippi State will win some games this year.  While it is just an exhibition, we do look pretty good.

Yes. We are currently winning against what should be a solid team.

[Huskerpapa]

...and how would we be feeling if we were currently down by 16?

I'll be we'd have more than that if it were in Lincoln.

 We would have more fans at PBA if they had simulcasted from Starkville.

Very glad I don’t have to answer that question. 

[Huskerpapa]

We played pretty straight up in the first half.  Leaves me wondering how much experimentation will take place in the second half...okay, here we go.

True that!  I would have gone.  In fact they could have passed around the Red Cross bucket there too.

Instead of time it's determined by the amount of $'s collected!

 Half of my screen just went green.

Has the entire roster seen the floor except Nana and Thor?

[swoof]

Jordy looks nimble out there

[hskr4life]

Watson down... don't like to see that.

[Norm Peterson]

 Glenn Watson comes up limping after that last 

layup missed.

Yes

 

[Huskerpapa]

Just wow...

[hal9000]

Now we're looking really, really good in transition.  

[hskr4life]

Even though it is an exhibition...  You're not just up 57-34 against another Power 5 team unless you are a pretty decent team.

[Huskerpapa]

....and to think Copeland looks rusty on offense.

[hskr4life]

Copeland really struggling... and we have 57 points early in 2nd half up 19.  Really really good sign.

[hskr4life]

Palmer going to put up 20+ in his first game as a Husker.

[runsoastowin]

A few thoughts thus far:

 

1) It's really nice to have depth. E.g. Copeland hasn't scored much (1 for 8, 2 points) and we are having no problem on offense.

2) We could stand to improve on our transition defense. Miss St. is doing well on their transition game.

3) It's just an exhibition. But we look good. 

[Norm Peterson]

Biggest thing so far, five minutes into the second half, is that we didn’t let off the gas and let them back into it. We extended our lead after half time. That is so very good to see. I was really worried to see what would happen that first five minutes and we won the first five minutes of the second half.
