[HuskerFever]

Winning 5 of our last 7 games, 11-1 at home, 5-6 in conference. Wait... are we talking about Nebraska?

[huskerbaseball13]

Big big win. Protect the Vault!

There needs to be a caption contest for this:

 

Ha Ha Nebraska I snubbed you.

[Mr. Red]

Not going to worry too much about @MSU.  The next two at home are must wins.

a pretty good mind set for all of us on here

No need to worry about MSU because we're going to win?

Why is Groce wearing MSU colors and wearing a leather banded watch?

Why is Groce wearing MSU colors and wearing a leather banded watch?

 

those are also Ohio colors. Maybe he forgot he took the job?

I'm not sure why but I got a major kick out of Miles halftime tweet.

He did Lincoln proud on his birthday!

Just remember... Benny > Tai. I've been saying it

Just remember... Benny > Tai. I've been saying it

 

I think you might be right.  Right now.

 

But I also think Tai has way more upside.  Time will tell.

[49r]

Too many times in the past, the Huskers lose games like this.  Not tonight, my friends.  Huskers win by double digits.  GBR!                                                                                                                                                                                                          

 

BTW, the special at Conlee's tonight is two Hog Wings (2 4oz. shanks) and fries for 10.95.  Frickin' yummy!  As always, 2.25 beers and 3.00 mixed drinks during the game. 

 

cip, you are required to post in the game thread from now on.  Our tournament hopes rest squarely on your shoulders now.

upside no doubt. As of now Benny is clearly the better guard and has been for a while

[TomEadesSucks]

It's good to have someone pushing Tai, and someone with experience you can trust with the ball in close games.

You win tcp; you fucking win.

"It's just a step to the leeeeeft!"

I still like Benny coming off the bench... Tai as the starter. I just think having the D intensity coming off the bench is huge

At this point Parker brings more to the table, and it hurts to say it. Webster is on the court, but you almost never notice him. At least with Parker -- even when it's 4-on-5 offensively -- he's working his tail off and pestering players defensively.

 

I mentioned it during other games, but I just want to see Tai flash more. It was too much for me to expect him to be lights out as a freshman given his circumstances, but I expected to see enough from him that I would be really excited about his future. I can't say that I am at the moment, but I'm trying to remain patient.

He certainly has been a spark plug of late.

 

Plus, Tai needs all the experience he can get so he can hit the ground running next year.

I thought it was awesome!

I think he will.  Tai is going to be a much improved player next year I have no doubt about it.
