Things don't get any easier today against a Maryland team that has defended their home court well. Don't expect Nebraska to change out the scheme against this dominant Maryland front court. The Terps have a couple of guys who can hit from 3 so we'll see how closeouts look. Defense has been Kevin Willard's calling card and Maryland has been good this season, forcing teams to settle for long range shots. The Huskers could play near perfect and still lose this one. Expect to be looking for more answers this week. Prediction: Maryland 84 - Nebraska 71 View full article Shawn Eichorst's Toupee, Vinny and hskr4life 3 Quote
hskr4life Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 It’s one thing to have a bad non-con. SOS. But to have the dead last non-con SOS is almost comical. Quote
