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

[cipsucks]

I happened upon another Illinois group.  We head east tonight, and get a W.

Huskers get their 7th conference win tonight.

8 o clock tip offs suck.  Last one, if you don't count the 7:30 tip two weeks from today.

It feels like this is a great game to get both Keisei and CJ cooking.  NW is #311 in 3 pt defense.  This is a great spot and matchup.  GBR!

That might be the recipe.    Last game, in Lincoln, our scoring was so balanced.  We held Boie, to what, 11 points?  Barnhizer had 24.  I doubt Boie scores only 11 tonight.  Barnhizer can't get close to 24.  We need 2 or 3 players to go off.  Don't care who it is.  The nice thing about this team?  I don't think they care either.

Okay why is Lawrence not starting and possibly not playing?  Injury, performance or other?

Where'd you hear that?  Nothing from Robin on Twi--I mean, X as yet.

I'm listening to pregame. Haven't said anything yet.  I'm guessing when the taped Hoiberg interview comes up in about 25 minutes, we'll find out.

The value of our Wisconsin win is rapidly deteriorating. The losers are about to drop one at Michigan

Yeah them losing to Michigan and MSU losing to Minnesota is not good.

Wow!  Did you return to become a Debbie Downer?    All is good!

On pregame, Fred said they were doing something different with the starting lineup.  Didn't mention anything about Lawrence.

Fred says it's because of wanting to play big but performance certainly is part of it.

Hey, the only site we're going to is Memphis.  If that happens, I'll bring you a quart of salsa!

[cipsucks]

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

[hhcmatt]

I think the game is supposed to start at 8:12 so it should be broadcast in full

[hhcdave]

I’m going to hold you to that 

[nuhusker7]

It looks like the official start is 8:12, so we have some time to watch the end of this one

Michigan beats Wisconsin: "The Big Ten is down this year. Put Michigan into the tournament over Nebraska."

We broke the Badgers.
