Post-Season:

Season Finished! salute.gif

 

Improved year-over-year record, but a disappointing under .500 up-and-down season for a young team with five freshmen regulars, and injury keeping Shavon Shields out of a critical four game stretch near season end. Nevertheless, Huskers defeated several higher-ranked teams, taking others down-to-the-wire. Huskers closed the season out with our deepest run so far in the B1G Tournament.

While we must say farewell to MVP Shavon Shields and Sparkplug Benny Parker, the addition of Anton Gill combined with continued improvement in the upperclassmen and freshmen, along with incoming Isaiah Roby and Jeriah Horne makes this the most talented group of players we've seen since about the last time we played Kansas; ironically also on next year's schedule. Coach Miles can recruit; Now we'll see how well he 'coaches-em-up.' If we can bring in a graduate-transfer, or recruit a new BIG to play next season, Watch Out!

Difference between BTN and BTN+?

 

I believe BTN+ would only have their content online; thus, synonymous with BTN2Go from seasons past.

 

 

If I recall, BTN Plus is a paid (monthly/annual) subscription to content in addition to cable. And BTN2Go is an extension of BTN on the web free to BTN subscribers.

Yup

 

 

The difference is; you do not have to have a cable subscription to view BTN Plus content like you must have to view BTN2Go content.  That means you subscribe to BTN Plus independently and receive their video stream via internet whether or not you have cable.  (but you must sign up to BTN2Go (free) if you aren't already a member, in order to subscribe to BTN Plus.  If you have a qualified cable carrier, you will then be able to view BTN2Go content. If you don't have cable then you cannot view BTN2go content, but you still will be able to view the BTN Plus content - once you have paid their subscription fee.)

 

(I know, it's all very, well, CRYPTIC!  ;))

Thought I'd heard that the Big Ten Network was re-branding the BTN2Go name to be BTN Plus.

 

Here's the link to BTN2Go.com, which appears to now be called BTN Plus: http://www.btn2go.com/packages?type=0

 

They're separate. You can get BTN Plus on BTN2Go

The google search I did had the 1st item being "BTN Plus = BTN2Go" to the site I was directed. Thanks for clarifying, dimes; it's all rather cornfusing...

 

 

And, with regards to 'Fever's notion. I can not wait for BTN the Ocho. ;)
