Diop with the bucket, the board and the screen in a nice sequence.

[Bugeaters1]

Damn this is a well oiled machine right now.

 

[HuskerFever]

The entire stadium wanted that Tominaga shot to go in. Even Illini fans.

Huskers Up by ELEVEN @ the Half!

double figure lead....in a great positio to close this out...tell you right now, they survive Illinois ,this tourney's theirs...

[1HuskerDad]

How about those minutes from Diop with Mast and Allick on the bench?  
 

Great half. Unselfishness by everyone.  Keep it up!

Confidence.  I don’t think there’s a team out there that we don’t think we can beat.

[Bugeaters1]

Now if the ref's don't interject themselfs to where they favor Illinois we are good. And how in the hell does that douch bag Douchery have us as a 9 seed?

Yea! There was very little Diop off!

[cozrulz]

Pretty impressive to have Diop (a guy that hasn't played much) come in with 5 to go and he plays well in a situation that matters.

[cipsucks]

I really like this TEAM.

For real. If we are a 9 seed every single 1 seed is praying we aren't in their bracket.

That's how you keep a team healthy in a tournament setting and keep the legs from getting heavier than your opponent. Keep it going! Spread the wealth across the team!

Full mast and sniffing your own farts? Quite the day for you today!

[Bugeaters1]

Baseball update, Huskers 16 Nicholls 0 bottom 6 Nicholls is on their 6th pitcher.

I still think we are going to have to play extremely well to close this one.  Illinois is going to hit some shots.  Maybe Keisei can hit some threes this half?

[cipsucks]

Illinois will make several runs this half.  Don't freak.  When we answer the first one, and we will, the others Illinois have will be riddled with erectile dysfunction.

And we will have full MAST.

I'd like to see Underwood go full FranCon.

As long as he doesn’t get any more foul calls out of it. He did that in Champaign to great effect. Hopefully a neutral court will help with that.

How many head coaches can we get ejected from this tournament?

 

Mike Woodson, Juwan Howard (in a way), is Brad Underwood next?
