This is such a garbage deal.

Personally, I respect BYU for not playing on Sunday.

As long as tam does t have a Terrence Shannon Junior level guard who is a foul merchant, I like our matchup. Surely we can’t get all big ten refs, can we?? 

[millerhusker]

I’m getting more and more excited for this matchup. How hot really is A&M right now? During their 5 game win streak, they beat a poor Georgia team, got a nice 6 point win on senior day against Miss State, beat Ole Miss twice and Kentucky in the SECT. Ole Miss and Kentucky both have defenses in the 130ish range. They were 15-13 prior to that win streak. 
 

“A&M will have the best player on the floor” is what I keep reading and hearing. Maybe. Or maybe we have four players better than Taylor IV. I do believe we’ve faced several better lead guards throughout Big Ten conference play. Players who are much more efficient, better shooters, better at creating for others and don’t turn the ball over as much. 
 

We need to rebound the way we did against indiana. Unless they come out and make an unusual amount of threes, we can handle them if we play our game. FWIW, I absolutely hated the Baylor matchup 10 years ago. Couldn’t convince myself to be optimistic about that one.

What does Nebraska's board look like @throwback?

I'm pretty ambivalent in confidence on this one.  

 

Common opponents were @OSU and PSU at home.

 

A&M eeked out a win on the road against OSU on the road and handled PSU at home.  

 

Nebraska got handled on the road against OSU and dominated PSU at home.

 

I do think their PG is the best PG we've seen this season.  He's special.  The rest of the team is scrappy and plays extremely hard.  I like their team.  Wildly different philosophies and body types.  It will really come down to our defense because I think we can score on them with decent execution.  I have no qualms with calling the game a tossup though.

They appear to be very meaty inside but may not be allowed to jump over us if we block out like some Big Ten refs often seemed to ignore. 

[KZRider]

Wondering if KT will get grabbed and pushed and tripped like usual or will the refs let him play basketball?

[Norm Peterson]

Look where we are; look where they are.

 

(Hint: they're in the quadrant you don't want to be in, especially facing a team that likes to shoot treys.)

Guys I hate being overconfident!!  Let me go with the mindset that we are going to get screwed and lose then when we get the Victory it will be that much more gratifying!!

TBH I feel like we play better coming out of the half down 2 than we do up 10.

How’s it going for you? I’ve been doing everything I can to distract myself this week, including TRYING to stay off of here, but it’s creeping in now. It’s really creeping in, and I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep now.

Okay, I wondered that. I was listening to them for Grambling-Montana St. Nice duo & Rothstein loves him some Keisei Tominaga, expect a good feature on KT30!!

It's 11:00PM and I'm on here....

 

 

Honestly, it's a super weird feeling. I've been so accustom to Thurs/Fri of the 1st round being 2 days of carefree basketball watching. Having something on the line is foreign.

Right!?!  Can’t focus.  Trying to think of all the things that could go right— that we have going for us.  While also trying to block out the bad and our history.

I caught the CJ Wilcher crud last night, so I'm focused on getting to the bathroom in time...
