It seems paranoid and silly to think Nebrasketball is cursed, but then shit like this happens.

I have no doubt about the curse.

Odreago is 3rd (161) on the freshaman rebounding list at NU. Needs 8 more to take the lead

We battle back and then slide.  Just so hard to play from behind (and in case Norm peeks in "That's what she said").

Poor turnover for Easley

Margin of error is so slim, and when we can't get a defensive rebound or hit a FT it's almost impossible. But the good news is I think Hoiberg can fix those things.

Pretty sure that we just witnessed the first Cheatham pass on a break as a Husker

Guys. Yvan looks like he might be figuring it out. Playing REALLY good last few games

Agree, early in the year I thought Cross was picking up the game faster than Yvan.  Not sure that is the case anymore.

Just wait until he hits the weight room and i'm only half joking here

[Silverbacked1]

I like his upside more than the monster they have.

 

Yvan is a smart hard working kid that will get better.

 

Their big is a knock everybody over and flex kind of guy, ain't gonna get much better, if you ask me.

I wonder if he realizes how good he could be?

[colhusker]

They have 17 offensive rebounds and we have 25 defensive rebounds.  Not going to bode well at any level.

Yvan was going to shoot that come hell or high water.

We are really gassed right now, could play Akol a bit more, I thought he looked okay.

He couldn't look worse that someone that is completely gassed.
