Petteway 1,000th career point as a Husker!

Jinxed it! (no more comments! )

Our Defense is outstanding!

Rivers! D is playing well!

GBR!

Some teams overachieve. Some underachieve. Would you accuse this team of overachieving when you compare our talent level to our win/loss record? Or do you think we've won about as many games we should have lost as we've lost games we should have won? Maybe you haven't been following the board, but there's been a lot of angst about how much worse this team is than it was a year ago and suggesting that last year was a fluke and a one year flash in the pan. And I'm saying there were a couple of hiccups this season where we clearly lost to inferior teams and you take away those losses and we'd be about where everyone would have expected us to be this season. In other words, we ain't that bad. Except for a couple of hiccups, this is about the team we thought we'd have. That's been my point. Thread makes all good points. Rhode Island turned out to be a pretty good team after all. Hawaii must have been playing way over their head as they took Wichita State down the wire in the following game, losing by one point 80-79 in OT. It seems to me the two worst losses are Incarnate Word (last minute lapses, or maybe poor BB IQ), and just lethargy in the loss to a weakened Michigan.

LOL.....I use this excuse at home too. Last night the wife told me to take out the garbage, Coach Miles says I don't have to. All my Husker apparel is either black or red. I suppose I better head to Husker Headquarters before tuesday's game. Better Burn the Blacks! (Unis, that is. )

IIRC, there are a number of Scholastic 'Achievers' on the team; including Trevor Menke, and transfer Andrew White! Kudos to all! (Academics may be one of the reasons Andrew White chose to transfer to Nebraska over several other teams vying for his services.)

The 25th and 26th Huskers to Score 1,000 Career Points! Terran Petteway is only 3 points away from scoring his 1,000th Point in a HUSKER Uniform! (He already reached 1,000 CAREER Points in the Minnesota game on 1/20/15). Shavon Shields made his 1,000th Career Point in the game we just played against Northwestern. This marks only the sixth time in school history that Nebraska has had a pair of players reach 1,000 career points in the same season! 1967-68 - Stuart Lantz and Tom Baack 1978-79 - Carl McPipe and Brian Banks 1990-91 - Rich King and Clifford Scales 1994-95 - Erick Strickland and Jaron Boone 1998-99 - Cookie Belcher and Venson Hamilton 2014-15 - Terran Petteway and Shavon Shields

76-60 FINAL! (Thanks, We Needed That )

Shavon with his 1,000th career point! Only the 26th Husker in History to achieve this level!

Holy Moly, Huskers w a 15 pt lead!

That'll help our per-game average! Darn twitchy fingers!

Need Shavon to get 5 more points (to get his 1,000th)

Trey by Tai 57-41

NW in zone D now (first time tonight)

Huskers pulling away; 11 pt lead now 52-41@ 12:28 left in the game. Huskers shooting 62.5% FGs & 43.8% behind the arc.

Back & Forth with the lead! (so far)

Great D by Huskers there!

Gotta contest those 3's (without fouling)

Coach Miles Halftime Tweet: Tim Miles @CoachMiles · 1m 1 minute ago We have to do a better job on Olah and getting to their 3-point shooters. On offense, we have to get the ball to the rim and attack.

Is tonight's ref Mike Eades any relation to Tom Eades (who T'd-up Shavon vs Minnesota 2weeks ago)?

Seems like same for PBA. Sparse Crowd (or late-arriving). Must be combination of weather & 6:30 start.

Halftime 35-33 Huskers

Just what Matt Davison said!
