I feel sorry for the people walking on the bridge tomorrow night.

Appreciate that.

Big game, hopefully a lot of Husker fans show up to watch Tominaga drag Edey. GBR

I hope people still show up. Planning to make the drive from Omaha. Not looking forward to the bridge walk, but I’ll do whatever it takes.

Well spoke to my dad, he's got no desire to go to the game in this weather. He's a very slow walker and uses a cane.  So gonna watch the game from home.

Ticket prices seem pretty healthy still on stubhub. The low end is easily higher than the Indiana game

Over/under for broken hips tonight=2, goes up to 4 if the Shim-shams perform.

I'm not feeling great about this one... especially if Brice cant go and Gary / Mast pick up a couple of early fouls..... a smart man would probably put money on Purdue -7.5 with Brice maybe not being able to go ..... BUT IM DUMB AS HELL SO SKERS BY 14 AND WERE RANKED WITHIN DAYS #rollskers

Last time I had this lost cause feeling before a game was a year ago as I was prepping to attend the game at Creighton.  I was pretty certain we were going to get it handed to us.  I can only hope the team surprises me tonight like they did on that day. Sitting in CHI Center listening to "Husker" ...."Power" chant at end of that game was memorable.

Stay out of foul trouble, limit turnovers, and don't let someone outside of Edey, Smith, or Loyer get theirs. In their loss to Northwestern everybody outside of those 3 plus Jones accounted for 14 points on 4-12 shooting

Big game, and maybe I'm in the minority, but focus on it as a game...don't do the firework crap that was done before the Creighton game.  Don't make it any bigger than what ya do for every other opponent.

After the game tonight will mark the 1/4 of the way though conference schedule.  Should we win, we’ll be tied I the standings with Purdue 1/4 of the way through the conference schedule….

Get those butts out to PBA for those of us that can’t make it!  Cheer loud and beat PU

I despise late tip-offs and NBC.

No chance I'm driving on the roads around here. Live north of go everything is completely snow packed. But gave my tickets to someone in Lincoln so they will be full.

Would be a nice game for Mast to get hot from outside… bring Edy out of the paint and get him moving around.

Him knocking down a 3 or two will do a lot for the offense. Him and Gary need to be good on their shots in order to stand a chance. Anything allick adds from distance is a plus, but keep it to 1-2 3pa

Went for drive around home at 9 am. After almost deciding not to go left home at 1:30 for what is normally an hour and 15 minute drive. Took me hour and a half. Couple unneeded shopping stops and enjoying pre game beers at NZone.

Mast is 14-46 on the year. That's 30%. My vote is he stops taking them altogether unless the shot clock is < 5.
