Have to appreciate the positive approach!

Did anyone notice whether Jean was yelling "Husker" or "Power" today?

Really liked the uniforms. Especially since we won! I'd say let's keep wearing 'em.

Wins don't have to be pretty. We ground out a win and that's worth a ton. Very proud of these guys.

BTW, there is at least one scenario (with NU winning out and lots of upsets) where we are a 3 seed with a bye facing the Illinois/PSU winner.

If I've done it right, according to the bracket projector (thanks again to those who made this possible) our tournament looks like the following using these criteria: - Teams will win out according to current B1G standings (as of today - 2/28) - Home team wins in the event teams that are currently tied play - The Huskers win and/lose as below: 1, NW - (W), Ind (W), Wisc (W) -- 4 seed bye facing Iowa/Illinois winner in 2nd 2. NW - (W), Ind (W), Wisc (L) -- 6 seed facing Purdue in 1st round, Wisc in 2nd 3. NW - (W), Ind (L), Wisc (W) -- 6 seed facing Purdue in 1st round, Wisc in 2nd 4. NW - (W), Ind (L), Wisc (L) -- 6 seed facing Purdue in 1st round, Wisc in 2nd 5. NW - (L), Ind (W), Wisc (W) -- 6 seed facing Purdue in 1st round, Wisc in 2nd 6. NW - (L), Ind (W), Wisc (L) -- 6 seed facing Purdue in 1st round, Wisc in 2nd 7. NW - (L), Ind (L), Wisc (W) -- 6 seed facing Purdue in 1st round, Wisc in 2nd 8. NW - (L), Ind (L), Wisc (L) -- 6 seed facing Purdue in 1st round, Wisc in 2nd Feel free to check my work and correct it. You won't hurt my feelings. But it looks possible that we be a 6 seed playing Purdue in the 1st round and Wisc in the 2nd.

Hey, mods, can we pin a tournament projector link to the board so it is easy to find? Thanks for considering it!

Didn't really think they could MSU there, either, so I believe we CAN beat Wisc. Home cookin' has been awful good this year!

Are they also going to wear the striped socks?

Then I am scratching my head about why you would start a new thread to express that. Go to one of the several other game discussion threads and say so. Starting a new thread about it struck me more as a way to draw attention to your disappointment with the TEAM not the GAME. Hence, my reply.

I'm sure we both wish the Huskers would have won and taken advantage of the opportunity that was there. That said, this team CAN'T disappoint me. They have already achieved so much more than anyone thought they would at the start of the year that anything more they accomplish will be an added pleasure. I WANT them to win out the rest of the year and make it to the Dance but I am so proud of this team this year already that I could never say they are a disappointment.

Even earlier. Maybe someone discovered a stash of jerseys in Dr Naismith's attic!

Two things could have made a difference tonight. 1) Remember when Coach Miles said we were a big man away. Tonight we could have use him. 2) Our point guard play good but nothing special. Tonight it needed to be better.

I am proud to have him on our team every day. Players have off days. This was one for him but I am confident he'll be back stronger than ever.

- Turnovers - Let them get too many offensive rebounds - Just a step slow let Illinois get to some balls we have been getting to. It was atypical of this team, though, so I'm feeling good about the next games.

I think the idea we are looking for is GATA!

Love it!! Thanks to everyone who helped make it possible!

We never traded Ruth away! How can we be the Red Sox? Of course, we never denied access to an old man's goat, either!

Both of which are doable.

We WANT more NU fans and at some point they have to jump on. I say welcome aboard! What will be frustrating are the bandwagon fans who leap off at the first sign of inevitable struggle.

If this game is as close as Vegas is saying, then I like our chances. We have been tested in some tough games and won. They haven't. Losing becomes a habit and teams with a losing attitude lose close games while teams that believe they CAN win DO win. They have nothing to play for but to be a spoiler. That only takes you so far in a tough game. I do believe it will be a close, hard fought game but I also think we will come out on top because we will be playing FOR something and they will be playing AGAINST something.

If standings remain the same -- with the Huskers ahead of MN in the B1G standings -- and similar degree of success in B1G tournament, would the selection committee take MN without taking Huskers?

Of course it's rude. THAT'S THE POINT!

He is indeed a dangerous player but we have developed into an even better defensive team (Parker and Rivers have been money) since the last time we played them. Rice got 23 against us last time but Nunn only scored 9. I can live with those numbers again.
