I detect a bit of cynicism on the thread. Obviously this is a team setting themselves up for a reputation of "playing to the level of their opponent." Let's hope they are also one of those teams who relax and play better on the road. (or at least shoot free throws better).
Norm makes a great pitch for any Nebraska kid to join the "happy few" on HHC. Too bad St Crispin's day has already passed, it would have been a great opportunity for Sallis to have committed to NU.
Must I use the "M" word here? As fragile as this team's psyche seems to be, this is a team which many people think should beat us. If we win, a Southern victory will put us on the road with a bit of confidence. If we should lose, we appear to have a chance at single digit wins this year from what I have seen in the B10/BE series. In other words, tonight is our first MUST win.
Surprised at the animus shown against the Bluejays here-but I am not a native Nebraskan. Usually they have at least one player who really rubs me the wrong way but this year Ballek is the only one who seems vaguely distasteful.I'm glad the McDermott/Miles streak finally got broken. Do McDermott and Hoiberg have a mutual record yet? From what I saw against Michigan, the .500 record by conference time would seem much more likely, although I didn't give the Blue Aces much of a chance last night either.
