Nebraska (16-7) vs. Northwestern (15-7) Game Thread

[cornfed24-7]

Got a good feeling! Let's do this! 

[cipsucks]

To change our luck on B1G road games, I'm starting a drinking game for those of us who listen to the radio broadcast.  Every time Kent or Jake say a "horrible call", you got to take a shot.  By halftime, we won't care.

Hear me out… Minny finishes 4th and we finish 5th.

Let's keep this trend going and hand NW a 3 game losing streak as well

[Norm Peterson]

Oh my. Interesting starting lineup with Bryce Williams at point guard and Gary, Alec, and mast all on the floor at the same time.

[cipsucks]

Keisei could have another big game.

If anyone is wondering about why JLaw might not be starting... here is a metric on T-Rank for every player on the team and where they rank to others.

Down 8-6.  We're doing okay.

I'll be really surprised if NW doesn't come out relatively hot.  Might get up 8 or so early.  Don't sweat it.  

 

Well.. 6... but close enough.  As I'm typing this, we've cut it back to 2.

[cipsucks]

Down 10-6 at the first break.  

[Huskerpapa]

Josiah has to finish.  Opportunities are there, just not finishing.   

[cornfed24-7]

Allick needs to holster that fade away hook. It shoots duds. 

[hskr4life]

Not shooting the best-- neither is NW.  Bit of an ugly start for both teams.  Had two trips where we could have tied it up and didn't.  Sigh.  Here come CJ and JLaw.  Hopefully they provide a spark off the bench.

I'm sure they will!

I'd be dead by the 2d media TO. And just heard Michigan beat Wisconsin!

You're good so far.  No bad calls yet.

[tcp]

Need to get them in foul trouble....they don't have a deep bench (neither do we).

[tcp]

Boo came to play. Danger. 

[brfrad]

Northwestern with the usual scouting report.  Grab and hold Keisei and Wilcher when cutting. 

[hskr4life]

Not getting a great feeling about this one.  Doesn't seem like we can stop them.  Unlike Illinois, they'll most likely hit their threes too.

 

Hopefully we turn it up on the D end here soon.

[Huskerpapa]

Just need to hang for now.  Stop all their runs.  We should be okay.

Can’t have Wilcher guarding a guard….hut can’t have him guarding a big man either…

He does ok guarding slower type guards... there just isn't a ton of those out there.

[cornfed24-7]

Situational awareness guys come on! 

[hskr4life]

Need to keep it close here... can't let it get away from us.
