BTN was fine for me (I can only get it lo def tho)

OK,, Illinois got their 53 points, Time to shut off the spigot!

That was a good offensive play! Avery call that ?

I like it when Kent Pavelka yells "GOT IT!"

Huskers are playing great Defense!

Coach Miles' Halftime Tweet: Tim Miles @CoachMiles · 55s 56 seconds ago Got a low possession game so we have to take good shots, limit our turnovers and defend well without fouling.

This Thread seems to be gearing up for the off-season.

Nebraska Basketball @HuskerHoops · 13m 13 minutes ago With Walt out, the Huskers will shuffle the lineup tonight.

No Walter Pitchford for Tonight's game @ Illinois (and Leslee Smith ailing with swollen Knee)

What We NEED To WIN ------ Avery to Plan our Offense!!!! (We WON that Game!) Our Best (ok, ok, only) Chance to get a Road Win before the season ends vs Maryland @ Home. We Beat Illinois in January and can do it again if the Players Step-Up --- SWEEPthe Illini!!! ________________________________________________________________________________________ Probable Starters Nebraska 2014-15 stats No. Name * Pos Yr.

bump

And, we don't know how many players Miles tried to get that might have helped, but they weren't interested for whatever reason.

Thanks! Never Thought of That Before!

I was just looking at player statistics for the upcoming game. One of the statistics huskers.com highlighted for probable starter Leslee Smith is: 51.4% for Field Goals! Lets get it to Leslee more! (His average PPG? 2.9 )

Especially valuable for a Noob (like me) I'd give everybody who contributed a 'green' arrow if I could (& multiple arrows to the OPs).

This! IIRC Miles specifically discouraged any talk of a raise!

The answer seems pretty obvious - We just need Avery to design all our Plays! (We WON that Game!)

Makes a 'SWISHER'

Go on a 'Walter' search? ( I've got one you can have )

I think they may be so busy anticipating the fouls to be; missing the ones that 'are.' Although they really didn't affect the outcome of the game, it would be nice to get to the line more, especially when its deserved. (IIRC, didn't our FT shooting last year season help to ignite our run?)

They were Hot! We Were Not! Brian Rosenthal @HuskerExtraBR · 4m 4 minutes ago Tim Miles relatively upbeat on post game show. Wasn't upset with effort. Said team competed hard. Says plenty of gas left in the tank.

Brian Rosenthal @HuskerExtraBR · 6m 6 minutes ago And David Rivers has his first career double-double -- 10 points, 11 rebounds.

Well, that was (no) fun!

Passed it directly to Rivers (he wanted to eliminate the middle-man)
