Even though we have three tough road games in a row, we shouldn't be walking into the most hostile atmospheres, not like what we would see at these places in, say, February. Cincinnati: Game over break, so limited number of students, time change to early (noon Eastern) tip may keep attendance down, some Cincy fans will be more interested in/may be attending Belk Bowl a few hours later Iowa: Game over break, so limited number of students, 6 pm tip on New Year's Eve may affect attendance, some Iowa fans will be in Tampa for the Outback Bowl the next day Ohio St: Game over break, so limited number of students, noon Eastern tip may be too early for those who were drowning sorrows/celebrating OSU's Orange Bowl performance the previous night, some OSU fans will be in Miami for football Iowa certainly will be ready to play NU after what we did to them at the Devaney Center last year, but I can't imagine UC or OSU's players are all that worried about NU, and none of their fans who will be in attendance will be too excited about playing NU. So at least we should be walking into a less-than-frenzied atmosphere the next 3 games - even though we'll be underdogs, hope we can steal one of them!

Going to see Jahlil Okafor play for the first time in person tomorrow. Its the annual holiday tournament out here again where they bring in some of the nations top teams for a 3 day shindig. Really curious to see the major two guys in #1 Okafor and 2015 #2 Stephen Zimmerman where it comes to big time center prospects should be a lot of fun. No Husker target offers but will be some good hoops.

Looks like we have him till this summer.

It's even a moot point.
