Somehow, this got lost in the shuffle of my life. I should have posted about it a few days ago.  Founding Moody Blues member and part of Paul McCartney and Wings Denny Laine passed away at age 79.  Very talented.  I just came across this video (that's what Standhardinger said).  Don't read anything into the song title.  No subliminal messages.  May he rest in peace!

Josiah not playing would be a blow.  Crap.

We might see how many minutes Matar can play before fouling out.

 

Big Ten refs view freshmen Nebraska post players as lions view a wildebeast with a bum leg.

That's another Standhardinger line.  I see a theme developing....

With Denny passing on, there goes the mighty triumvirate that was Wings. Those three were a cute couple.....:)

Sounds like Gary will get the start in place of Allick.

For me, this is truly a turning point in out season this year.  After what happened Wednesday, we have to have this one.  I hate to put the ever tough "have to win" tag on a game in December, but this truly feels like a make or break point heading to Manhattan next week.  This is game we could and maybe even should win if we have post season expectations.  This is also a game that many of us had marked as a probable L on our W/L predictions.  So we can make up for Wednesday's debacle a bit by winning today.

I wonder if Eli Rice gets any play today.  Maybe he should have up in Minnesota but it's hard to roll out a freshman on the road.

Iowa fouling down by 16 with 1:20 left.  Reason 9,462 to hate the Hawkeyes.

Can't take the lid off when you're sitting on the bench.

We're only down 4-2 and I don't like it.  We need to fire the hell up.  Lazy turnovers, bad shot selection.  What are we doing!?!?

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Lawrence as a pg - At what time do we explore something else??

[Huskerbballfan]

Brice Williams had really been struggling and continues to force up shots

[cozrulz]

too many 3-point attempts by guys that don't make them

I’m starting to believe he is just the next black hole of the Hoiberg era. A long and distinguished list for sure. 

[Bugeaters1]

BANKS ARE OPEN!!

 

[hhcmatt]

Sam Hoiberg is officially your backup PG over Boogie 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Made the comeback with Brice on the bench. Just sayin’ 

[brfrad]

Way too many 3 attempts.  Fail to get back on defense.

Looks like that is going to be the game.  Hopefully Nebraska makes them.
