Nebraska is the only undefeated team in conference play. UCLA dropped Purdue. Fun game to watch. UCLA reminds me of Vanderbilt. Athletic... up and down but can be a PIA if they hit their shots and will get in your face with the big dudes,

UCLA has head cases for their entire roster. And they have incredible basketball players that have failed to play to their potential.

Every BIG road game you have about a 40% chance of winning ala Purdue.

Live in the moment! GBR and LFG!!!!!!

150 O/U tonight and 10.5 pts to Nebraska.

I think we cover, and play good D. I do think their big's rebound well which will limit our second chance points so I'm taking the 'Skers and the Unders.

Watching the Maryland and Illinois game and the difference between these two teams and the Huskers seems significant. Huskers are playing at a different level, much more defense, ball movement on offense, crisp and precise.

Really? Illinois scored 90 and held MD to 70

NU scored 76 and held UW to 66
Even the first half scores were almost identical.


And it seemed like a significant difference?

I hate to say it, but without Frager adding that spark and his ability to get to the rim, especially when shots aren't falling from 3, I think we fall to the 5th best team in the BIG. BUT that's why you play the game and I hope they prove me wrong!

Also... Those last 4 garbage points that UW got screwed my bet lol. Hit the unders and had the spread covered until Cale got careless with the ball with a minute left.

At the 4:55 mark, Nebraska hit a 3 and were up 73 - 57. These were their stats for the last 5 minutes of the game:

Steals 1
Turnovers 2
Fouls 2
Rebounds 4
Shooting 0 - 4
Free Throws 3 - 4

They were sloppy and lazy as hell. Hoiberg eluded to some "things" that needed to be worked on. They won by 10 but Hoiberg has his team focusing on getting better. They will have the right mentality going to Minnesota.
