I think what's really interesting is that the O/U was set at 159.5 - that seems absurdly high. Unless there is overtime, I struggle seeing this many points. I think we are more competent defensively this year (at least we play harder) and we will still likely struggle to score at a super high clip. Maybe St. John's is a horrible defensive team and this will be a track meet but I'm skeptical.

Nebraska - 74 St Johns - 72

We should try to hire away Jeff Saturday from the Colts.

Overall a solid half. Most encouraging to me is that after we lost our minds for 3-4 minutes and the lead was cut to 5, we calmed down and reestablished some control. Griesel is definitely the floor leader. Most disappointing is that Breidenbach got two really bad and unnecessary fouls in a couple minutes. The big guy needs to calm down a little bit if he doesn't want to be among the nation's leaders again in fouls per minute.

Geez, for as good as the first 12 minutes were,.the last 3 have been abysmal. Hoiberg should have taken a timeout sooner...old habits die hard I guess

Hoiberg didn't specify but Kent alluded that he would still be out for awhile.

It's amazing how much more fun basketball is to watch when you share and move the ball. Great start.

On the pregame show tonight, Hoiberg told Kent he is confident that Derrick Walker will play this year and that he is getting better. Still pretty vague but I guess encouraging. That certainly doesn't sound like a marijuana issue as some have speculated.

Nebraska - 79 Omaha - 70

We are on pace for over 30 wins this year. Facts.

NU 80 Maine 63 6 non con 13 total

I listened to a little bit on the radio and neither Kent or Jake knew why Walker was out. If it was health related, it's weird they wouldn't have known unless it happened very recently...like something that came up out of the blue on a routine medical exam.

I disagree. If we play 5 vs. 0, our offense may finish in the top half of the BIG this year.

Might just be a statistical anomaly but its worth noting that Bryce was the only Hornets player with a +/- rating at 0 or worse. I didn't watch the game, just found it interesting when looking at the box score.

I hope he does but I haven't seen a mock draft recently that has him higher than 33rd I believe. Most I've seen have him in the 40's.

You should predict lotto numbers as well! I remember this kid having a ton of potential and as we need a PG, well....

Coach K just won his 100th NCAA tournament game last night - a remarkable accomplishment. We should have a contest for the date that Nebrasketball wins their 100th NCAA tournament game.

I have a feeling that you only named two of our five starters next year and I don't think that's a bad thing. I think we will have good depth but now can we fill out the starting rotation with difference makers.

Down in Fort Worth with my son in our Nebrasketball gear and we have already had several Creighton fans tell us "Go Big Red". The reply back is Go Aztecs, correct? F Creighton seems too vulgar with my son.

I do not mind this draw. We owe NW and I would rather play Iowa in round 2 with fresher legs. That game will likely be a track meet and we will need as fresh of legs as possible in trying to run around and guard their shooters. Get past Iowa and we will be playing on Saturday. Yes, I am assuming we win against NW!

Ohio St - 77 NU - 69 3

PSU - 76 NUn- 67

Iowa 88 NU 72

We could theoretically get hot and win a half in the first game at the big ten tourney.

NW - 75 NU - 68
