Don't have to go much before Mikki. Made me remember watching Bruce Chubick get a rebound, throw the outlet pass and then finish a no dribble fast-break with a dunk on the other end. Watching it in real time you would have to shake your head and think Wow did that really just happen? - How did he do that?

It sure seems like Bryce comes back here alot for someone who came here from a distance and who only spent one year at the school. Not complaining about that - but curious about it. Does he still have a girlfriend here or does he simply like Lincoln that much.

Also relevant that all (or nearly all) the tickets were sold before they ever announced who the musical act was going to be.

To answer my own question - UNL put out a notice that tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster Thursday at 10

Bumping as I did see something that tickets might go on sale sometime this week. If anyone does see them available please post in this thread.

Where did you find tickets listed? The Pentagon website sends you to ticketmaster for their upcoming events but our game is not included on that list. I also checked stubhub and could not find a listing there. UNL ticket office told me their allotment would be "limited" - so trying to at least check other options as well.

Just wondering if anyone has a lead on getting tickets to the Pentagon Game in Sioux Falls vs. Oregon State. Set for 11/18 I think. Made that trip a few years ago when we played Oklahoma State up there and it was a fun time and have several people who want to go this year. Just renewed our season tickets - but I don't think there was antyhing out yet about road games through the UNL ticket office. Has anyone tried to get tickets yet to this through an outlet in Sioux Falls?

me too

Wrightsell and Sallis in the backcourt would be a great combination it seems to me. Noticed that CU did not appear anywhere on Wrightsell's list. I really don't remember much about him from high school but his numbers last year at Fullerton look good.

Maybe this has been asked already - but how in the HE!! does DJ Carstenson get to ref an NCAA tournament game?? Do they have no standards at all??

Just saw this. Really sad to hear as Andre was truly a Husker basketball legend. Loved watching him play - he was one who really enjoyed the game. One of my clear Andre Smith memories is of him sitting on the bench after we had clinched a win and just having fun watching the scrubs finish the game. Have to also say he was also a master of "dirty play" - he would often give someone a little shove or elbow when the ref wasn't looking and then when the other guy retaliated and got called for fouling Andre he would just give the opponent a knowing smile and go the the free throw line. A couple of Andre's teammates - Jerry Shoecraft and Eric Williams have lived in Lincoln a long time. I bet they have some great Andre Smith stories. Wish they would jump on here and share. Just looked at that 1980-81 roster - Andre's senior year and my freshman year at NU. That team had alot of my husker favorites. Andre and Mike Naderer as seniors. Jack Moore, Jerry Shoecraft and Ray Collins and Juniors - and two of my all-time Husker favorites - Greg Downing and Claude Renfro were sophomores on that team. Great memories !

This is the point I wanted to make in reading this thread. There is no way to know for certain what our record may have been without the injuries. But I think it is clear that Bandoumel and Gary were a huge part of instilling the defensive culture that we still bring to the floor. Had Bandoumel not get hurt we likely would not have seen the emergence of Jamarques Lawrence into a really valuable player - but at the same time I am pretty certain that without Bandoumel on the team Jamarques would not be the player he has become. Even though we have done well without them on the floor I don't think that diminishes the huge positive impact that Bandoumel and Gary had on this team.

Big 10 tournament Generator is showing Maryland as the #6 seed under all 4 potential outcomes of the remaining 2 games. So looks like that would be the opponent if we get past Minnesota.

Well whatever else you might say - Fred Hoiberg has coached teams that have ruined the senior days of Brad Davison and Connor McCaffrey in consecutive years. He deserves a contract extension just for that !

Did Robbie Hummel go to Iowa? What a homer announcer. (I know it was Purdue right? -but still seems like he is an Iowa booster)

Great hustle play by Sam to get back and get that rebound after being denied the call on the other end.

Would like to call that a flop but CJ can't reach his arm out like that and not expect it to not be called.

How in the world is that not a charge???

DJ Carstenson with another absolutely boneheaded call !

Did Fran McCaffrey adopt that Rebraca guy? He plays just as dirty as his biological kids.

I swear to God this Iowa team must get instructions on how to whine at the refs. Whiningest (?) team I have ever seen.

Did not think Iowa would ever have a player I disliked more than Jared Bohanon - but Connor McAffrey has become that "player". They both take the terms dirty and whiney to a new level on a basketball court.

Those NET rankings are ridiculous. I am not sure how the math works but there are so many obvious anomalies that it is clear the system is very flawed. It should not have any credibility at all at this point.

Fantastic win. Did not expect this one at all. Figured this was easily the toughest of our remaining games. Everyone on the court played well tonight - but I thought Greisel was particularly good. Kept his composure and did not turn it over (just one all game I think) as the primary ball handler against a very high pressure defense, made a couple of huge shots at key times including 2 big free throws near the end and most importantly dominated the defensive boards especially in the 2nd half. Huge all around game for Sam.

Greisel has gotten some huge rebounds in the 2nd half.
