Game Day Essentials: Game #28 vs Ohio St.

You were expecting Dimes, maybe! Seriously, Dimes is tied-up and asked that something be posted - so here's a cheap imitation of his 'Game Day Essentials' (minus his 'Skinny' & 'Prediction' of course)
I know, I know, Dimes hurry on back.

The Nebraska men’s basketball team returns home for a crucial matchup Saturday night, vs Ohio State.
With four games to go, Nebraska needs to put together a couple of wins to solidify their place in the Big Ten standings and avoid playing in the opening round on March 9.
Whether Shavon Shields will play in this important game is questionable, and expected to be a Game Time Decision. Ed Morrow is doubtful for the OSU Game and expected to be called-on only in emergency.

 

Ohio State (17-10, 9-5 Big Ten) comes to Lincoln riding a three-game winning streak following a 76-66 win over Michigan on Tuesday. In that game, the Buckeyes held the Wolverines to 39 percent shooting and put five players in double figures, led by Marc Loving and Jae’Sean Tate’s 13 points.
