Nice!  If you have a chance to post some pictures of the arena at game time, I would be interested to see if they can fill the place for a "Top 4" Big Ten team, or if it will be empty.

Well, it’s a top 4 Nebraska, so probably not.

This was my initial thought.  But the way they are posting on their board, a lot of them think they have a shot.

The available tickets on Stubhub were sparse. I think there were only 6-7 sets available so I think it will be packed.

So if we don’t make it in the tournament, I’m blaming how the BIG schedules in tiers to try to make the traditional top teams play each other twice, while the others are scheduled to inflate their record. 

 

It can go both ways, since we’d most likely lose more, but they did us no favors like they attempted to by making Nebraska play most of them on the road.

 

Just realized I posted this in the wrong thread.

Of course they have a shot - they're favored.  We're just poor ol' underdog Nebraska.

...does anyone know if the kid that is/was in concussion protocol able to play?

 

[Huskerpapa]

Yes, I am nervous???  Why?  We should win by 8 to 12 points.

When we lived there tickets were pretty easy to come by and could get decent seats.  Knowing CU I’m guessing half empty for this one.

Looking at the Illinois game thread on their board, he didn't practice yesterday and looks to probably miss the game today.  No decision has been made yet however I don't think.

[Timmy Schlichtenschmidt]

It's kinda strange to see us in Red.

That's kind of odd, isn't it?

[hal9000]

Hmm, thought I heard the guy say Watson was 5 points shy of 1000 points.  I thought he was already there.  

 

[Huskerpapa]
