Northwestern Game Thread: Singing Two Part Harmony.....

[cipsucks]

Here's the 2013 edition of the futility series.  As everyone knows, neither program has a win in the NCAA Tourney.  Northwestern has never been invited.  They seem to creep closer every year to an invitation.  A Nebraska win today would be a setback in their quest.  If the Huskers can't make it this year, let's do all we can to keep the Wildcats out.  Shallow?  Hell yes! 

 

As for today's game, Northwestern is favored by 2.  That surprises me some seeing how good Northwestern is away from home and how poorly Nebraska has played in Lincoln.  The Wildcats will play a 1-3-1 zone, so we better be hitting from the outside today and getting penetration to the bucket.  I have a feeling we will.

 

The Huskers are dreaming for that first NCAA Tourney victory next year or the year after.  Let's make sure the Wildcats are doing the same.  GBR!

Miles just said in his last 18 games at CSU against teams that ran the Princeton offense, the Rams were 16-2.

Andre bumped his head Friday at practice.  Will only play in an emergency.

i'd hate to think of how much drool i'd generate if this were the case. but so far so good! kent's beginning to sound like audrey hepburn, so this stuff must be working.

Huskers 1 for 6 from the floor so far....

If Andre can't go would like to see Vooch in for spot/breather minutes.  Maybe only 2 or 3 a half.

I can't believe you ask for that, coz.

just did and I'm serious

[cozrulz]

at some point we won't be able to deal with the 7 footer, may have already started

I know this is probably way too simple minded, but do our shooting woes at home have anything to do with the fact we don't practice at the BDSC?

sipple was discussing this, but rejected the idea. not sure if that means anything or not. problem is if percentage is correlated to practice, why are we shooting better on the road?

 

i think we play differently at home. maybe tighter? or maybe less focused?

[Statz10]

Way to battle Ubel!

[Statz10]

Nice take by Talley. We lead!

[cozrulz]

Nice Benny!
