Need to let sleeping dogs lie.

...and I gotta stay calm...

Gotta stay in control.

Nice start to 2nd half.

Wow. Great half of basketball huskers!

Clark is 100% frustrated right now

Wow. Offense was great (Keisei)...defense not so much.

Free throw shooting is below average

Keisei already has 20.

Playing pretty good

Keisei has come to play today!

Keisei has been on the floor more today than a babies spilled food.

Come on guys, you can beat this zone

Women up by 8

Wowser. Didn't expect this type of start.

They can't stay this hot.

Defense?

I didn't have much hope that we could beat Iowa in Lincoln...but then it happened...sooo.

Last year my issue with the team was a lack of toughness. There were a number of instances where we figuratively or literally got hit in the nose and then tended to back down. In fairness, it may have been the result of the disappearance of a player or two early in the year, and the injuries to Sam and Allison. BUT, this year's team found the grit and toughness. I am very happy with that improvement. Maybe that is coaching. Maybe it is leadership. Maybe it is maturity. It doesn't necessarily matter; what matters is that we now seem to have it.

Good lord, I hope that Eli doesn't have a Blaise type ankle injury. Even for someone who has a high ankle sprain, it seems he has been out an inordinately long time.

The best thing we do is the Kevin James snippet that leads to a wild video montage of dancing huskers and so forth. Definitely pumps up the crowd. Honestly, the video group did a great job this year.

Without the intent to start an argument, I will add an observation. I watched him play two of his three games at state. He is, without question, an elite athlete. He has amazing hops and made a number of elite plays. BUT... Some of his gestures, his body language and occasional lethargic play concerned me a bit. Maybe it was simply an anomaly.
