Not sure if its a glitch or what but I got an email saying scrimmage tickets were now available. Even though the tweet said it would be tomorrow. I got mine.

Wish there were a high speed rail line between Scottsbluff and Lincoln.

Wow I just took a look at the available season tickets and it seems there's only 67 left.

If I lived within 2 hours of Lincoln it would 63.

I haven’t seen the Huskers @ the Devaney since North Carolina Central in 2007.

Feb 2013. I'm not sure which game was my last. I missed the last one for sure but I think I also missed the second to last one due to prior obligations. I think that game against Iowa got moved up a day because of weather. 

 

Unfortunately they seats I sat in no longer exist. I think they're a suite now.

Guess I didn't know we were getting a new court design this year:

It looks great! I was never a fan of the state outline/shadow.

No More Three Pointers from the Panhandle or Yankton, that’s a Crying Shame.

Looks like they're down to 10 left.

my bad, looks like 25.  Either way, it seems like we may be getting close to having season tickets sold out again.

OWH previews NU's guards - will be doing one position group per week

The major storyline in Nebraska’s backcourt is the two point guards. ... Rollie Worster and Ahron Ulis are in the mix now, a pair of ball handlers that will prevent Nebraska from having to cobble together lineups like a season ago.

 

The Huskers’ shooting guard spot is less defined. Brice Williams will be in the starting lineup at either the 2 or 3 but will still run the offense some. Gavin Griffiths has a similar size and skill set, able to play shooting guard, small forward and maybe even some small-ball power forward. ....

 

Essegian, Hoiberg, and Janowski mentioned as those "who can help"

[millerhusker]

What do you guys think the starting lineup will be Game 1. What about Game 12? It doesn't necessarily matter who's in the starting lineup - these 7 players will probably get starter's minutes - but who is on the floor together to begin the game and how that group gels will be interesting. The obvious (maybe?) answer for Game 1 is Worster, Williams, Gary, Berke, Morgan. I could see that group having some space and pace issues.

Rollie Worster - seems clear he'll be the starter at point guard and can be a Griesel-type player/leader. 

Berke Buyuktuncel - maybe the player with the most preseason hype from coaches, teammates, media, etc. Looks bigger, longer than everyone on the team other than Meah. If he can defend and rebound as well as Morgan, I think we'll see a lot of him at the "5", to allow for more versatile lineups. 

Brice Williams - starter, obviously

Juwan Gary - starter, but if we need someone to come off the bench for best fit within the rotation, he'd be willing to.

Andrew Morgan - We've been assuming since April he'd replace Mast as the starting big. Haven't heard much about him in the preseason. He does look smaller than expected.

Connor Essegian and Gavin Griffiths - 2A and 2B for offseason hype rankings (behind Berke). The two most likely players to somewhat replicate Keisei's gravity on the court. Do we really want to keep both Essegian and Griffiths out of that first group?

 

Ahron Ulis - coaches love him (and so will we), but he's probably the backup point guard on this team.

Sam Hoiberg - some of his minutes will be given to the new guys, at least to start the year. Always finds a way into the rotation, though. 

Braxton Meah -  10-12 minutes in a healthy Keita role as a defensive presence and rebounder would be great. I wouldn't expect much more than that. 

[hhcmatt]

Theoretically you might want Meah as a starter because he is a 49% FT shooter so you don't want him in there at the end
