Enjoy today's video.

A little smooth listening music to get your wildcat juices flowing for the time-being:

Getting the game face on.  Hope the crowd shows up and is loud...and more importantly, I hope the HUSKERS show up and are ready to play.  We need this one.  Let's get it done men!

How about an homage to Lemmy Kilmster.  Here's hoping we are able to rule the B1G with an Iron Fist.

Really poor rebounding right now.

7-5 Neb 16:00

 

Benny with 3PM

Shields 2-2

[hskr4life]

Good hustle there... shooting well

[MichHusker]

Shields is just so smooth with his mid range jumper

[HuskerFever]

We aren't showing much "game day" mentality or urgency right now. A little sloppy here and there. Really just playing to Northwestern's pace and level right now. Shots are falling though.

Will be interesting to see how Marrow uses his time here

[hskr4life]

Benny Parker and that shot have improved so much!

[HuskerFever]

Benny: 3PT 2-2

Sheilds: 2PT 2-2

except for that air ball

Why would we have McVeigh guarding McIntosh... especially since we started Benny on him.

[HuskerFever]

We're shooting 2PT 63%, 3PT 50%, FT N/A

They're shooting 2PT 38%, 3PT 20%, FT 67%

 

We've got to be ready for when they start shooting well again, or we might have something to worry about. We also need to get to the line.

Looked like an error in picking up the correct man in transition. McVeigh was on someone and then came off to take an uncovered mcintosh.

Makes sense... Jack certainly too slow to be guarding him.

The PBA is a library right now.

Northwestern is a fairly decent team.  The loss of Olah hurts, but they are a very good shooting team.

Thank goodness for Benny.
