Last year we would have been down 15 at half of a game like this (ranked team on the road).

Can you believe how well that 5 finished the 1st half without Shavon or Andrew on the floor?  Just shows you how much this team has improved.

[MichHusker]

We are playing really well WHEN our 2 studs are playing. If shields can't come back we really have to run more set plays for white to get him open. I pray shields can come back tho

it's amazing how much better we look right now than 3 weeks ago.

    Holy Moly!  All Tied-up at the Half!

No truer words have been said.

I just looked at last year's schedule and got depressed when I saw 9 losses in a row. I feel much better now looking at this year's team.

Crazy what a little confidence will do for ya. 

 

(and some pretty good talent doesn't hurt)

How about -

Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.

I think we will give everybody their best game if we play like we have as of late.

[MichHusker]

Another thought. As a team, we didn't rebound all that poorly. They are out rebounding us by 1 but they are getting some key offensive boards on us. Gotta stiffen up even more defensively here in the 2nd half

[Silverbacked1]

You know what I think this team will be okay even if Shavon is out. We can do what we need to do tonight. If longer then we just will need to suck it up.

Because for some reason I don't feel like it is going to be good news about what is wrong with Shavon. Guess it comes with being a Husker basketball fan. The worst only happens.

[MichHusker]

Shields in the warmup line here before the half starts

[MichHusker]

Looks like he's gonna give it a go.

[hal9000]

Whew!

[MichHusker]

I hope the news I shared made your day

I agree, but I really hope we don't have to find out.  Shavon makes us a much better team.

OKAY SHAVON IS GOING TO BE OKAY AND WILL PLAY

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

[Red Don]

News is Shavon Shields will play in the 2nd half!

[hal9000]

Kent says will, play, not seriously injured.

[HuskerFever]

OKAY SHAVON IS GOING TO BE OKAY AND WILL PLAY

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

 

Did Rosenthal tweet it?

[Huskerpapa]

Glad Shavon is back

It really is.  So much more confident and aggressive on offense and pushing the ball.  We are playing better defense which is creating more run outs too. 

[royalfan]

But not taking stupid quick shots too often either.
