Ugh, that damned Xavier game. That's the one. The lynchpin in Nees program potential and what could have been the start to a budding explosion of quality nebrasketball in terms of recruiting and such.
the most memorable of these for me is the 86 game, though, because I remember wanting to follow NU in the postseason but I was stuck at Fort Huachuca (Ft. Wegotcha for vets with an MI bent) at an intel course in the Army and the staff took no mercy on a Husker fan for basketball and made me actually do my work that day (and about a half dozen others) and stay in the field setting up the advanced course graduation exercise.
I find out Dave's hurt and, voila, everyone knew the result from there.
