It's Done!!! (errr.... Doane)

[Red Don]

Lincoln – The Nebraska men's basketball program announced Tuesday that the Huskers will play Doane University on Thursday, Dec. 17. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. and the game will be carried online on BTN+ with Larry Punteney and Buzzy Caruthers on the call. The game will also be broadcast on the Learfield IMG Husker Sports Network with Kent Pavelka and Jake Muhleisen.

 

Quote

It will be the first regular-season meeting between the two programs in over a century, as NU played Doane during the 1898-99 and 1899-1900 seasons. The two teams have met twice in exhibition play since then, including a 91-63 Husker win prior to last season and a 75-54 win in 2011.

Buzzy called the Doane game last year and told us Jervay Green had a chance to be one of the best defenders in the country. I bought it at the time.

I'm kind of pissed we lost a BTN game for a BTN+ game.

We better have plenty of time for bench guys to get minutes. There are some players I want to see how they play. I don't expect them to jump into the starting lineup, but it sure would be nice to know what we have on the bench if push comes to shove in conference play.

As much as I love my Alma Mater, I hope the Huskers look like they did in game one.

Where did you subscribe for that?  I just subscribed and it was $15 a month.  I'm cancelling right after the Doane game.  Too many other network subscriptions.

You can choose the whole conference for $14.99 or a single team for $9.99. If you follow women's basketball or volleyball beyond UNL, it's worth it. Otherwise, not so much.

I like our chances. Doane has Mount Marty on Wednesday, then Briar Cliff on Saturday, so they may be looking past us to the Chargers.

Ah did not see that as an option when I subscribed.  Oh well I'd spend more than $14 on food at a single game. Thanks!

The downside is that you can only stream on one device at a time. I tried to share it with my father. Now we text before the game to see who gets to watch and who has to listen. If it's women's basketball, he gets it. Volleyball, it's me. For men's basketball ... we'll have to see. I'm gonna log in and hope he's watching something else.

Bummer...yeah I'm guessing my parents will be fine with listening.

Has Doane ever played on TV before? Anyone know?

Last season's exhibition game between Nebraska and Doane was also on BTN+.

Just our luck. We always seem to get an opponent that's pissed off and motivated coming off a loss.

Fort Hays State was 0-3 when.................

The only reason this game makes sense is that it counts towards Walker's suspension so we trade this game for sitting an additional conference game.  Based on that, I'm glad they scheduled this game.

I think the only reason they reduced Walker's suspension to 11 games was to save us the potential embarrassment of losing to a team like NWU as we try to get Walker eligible sooner. Right, @HB?

Correct.   I've gone dark again.
