Nebraska vs. Northwestern Game Thread

Both our ball movement and shooting have been better lately.   Our defense is still suspect, but a bit of that is coaching.  We seem to change up when things are working.  I think we over think things, when we should just KISS it. 

We have to get after the boards in this one.  If we reduce the deficit from last time by at least half, I like us to win this one.
