Nebraska 11-10 Vs. Northwestern 12-11 Game Thread

[HuskerCager]

Illinois is next.  I can't decide whether it would be better for us if the Illini would break their losing streak or not against the Nittany Lions.

[colhusker]

Gonna pop a cool one to celebrate!

And sorry for getting carried away with the overuse of exclamation points earlier.

Sounds like a good plan!

What an impressive win! 8 wins gets us in the NIT and we have five home games left (all winnable) and at least two winnable road games left (At MN and at IL).

[roscoe]

Only 4 2nd half turnovers and it doesn't hurt to put the ball in the hoop at decent percentage either.

[brfrad]

petteway didn't play a perfect game, but he is playing at an extremely high level. It's hard to imagine us not getting into the ncaa tourney if he's on the team the next 2 1/2 years.

One thing I would like to see on the pick is what he did when we were up by 2 and find Pitchford for an open 3.  It seems that most of the time, he just dips his head, and tries to attack the rim.

[AuroranHusker]

That was an ugly, beautiful win.

 

That's exactly what I was thinkin'... HUGE to find a way to get that road victory, no matter how it happened. GBR!

Have you guys noticed we're undefeated this year when I post on game threads?   I'll try not to miss any more games....

We don't play MN on the road.  We have Indiana, Michigan State, and Illinois.

Not to burst the bubble Dave, but Minny was one and done this year. Road games @ MSU, & the Assembly Halls

I will forgive you if you have other plans next Sunday.  I got a feeling that even if you post 150 times, that undefeated streak might be over.

Nebraska only plays Minnesota once this season... the roadies left are MSU, IL & IN.

I'm not reading during the game, just never have never will, but I went through and read all of it after (yes I agree) but it's just funny how much of a "horrible game" it was, and now everything is great

PS. I was in the exact same position as everyone else, I'm just pointing out the irony

PPS roscoe I agree but was a couple hours ahead of you (sorry for the post)

We are still at the point that we have a lot of horrible and some great all together.

I don't read or post during games either, but when NU plays so Jekyll & Hyde it's fairly easy to get too high or too low. Glad this time NU figured out how to win on the road (finally)!

[Fullbacksympathy]

We're in the hunt for 4th place. Huge cluster**** in the standings.

No apology needed.

It is not PETWAY...it is Petteway.  sheessh.

 

Isn't that the most annoying thing when the color analyst continues to say it wrong while the PxP guy said "Petteway" numerous times?!? Color analyst & former coach Darrin Horn never said TP's name right the entire game. And his commentary was typically off-base & not very informative, either.

I know, right? Remember when the color commentators kept saying 'Eshaunte' instead of 'Bear'?

With so many games being broadcast now the PxP guys only need to know how to put on headset. Dan Dokic(sp) just called the officiating crew doin the Iowa/Michigan game "maybe the best officiating crew in the country". They are average at best but now that I think about it, an average crew would be the best.

Yes.

 

It's particular annoying when one guy says it right & the other guy never does.  Just call him #5 or somethin' (like he's Ndonkeykong Suh)
