We drove the the hoop just as much & our guys frequently ended up on the ground with the cheerleaders or press sitting on the baseline with no foul called. It was like the refs could only see fouls on drives if the contact was above the shoulder.

Not banned. Just not hired for B1G games, but this is an ACC arena.

Both NU charges have been flops by NC State.

Watch ESPN is their streaming service

The line opens w/ NC St by 6.5

I said 7-12 & I think it will be closer to 12 than 7. Other than Purdue (we only play them once), none of the B1G teams have looked great and several have been inconsistent (including Nebraska). Hopefully all the "great" shooters they have will break out over the course of the season. We will know a lot more a week from now after games at NC State & Indiana. I wouldn't be shocked to see them lose the next four and hover around .500 for the rest of the season.

Because he still takes stupid shots & Fred has a quick hook to try to teach him how to play within the system.

Huskers beat Drexel 65-53 in San Diego. Jaz Shelley scores 30 w/ 7 boards.

There is a football game from 11-2 & another that starts @ 2:30 on BTN

USD shot 49 free throws. The game was obviously called very tight. When NU played TSU they let them play which helped TSU a lot.

Everyone else was ineffective. As good as Eduardo Andre looked a couple of games ago, he had multiple times where he should have gotten a rebound and the ball just went straight through his hands. Kobe Webster probably could have played more, but Verge was looking pretty good. Keisei Tominaga needs to start making shots to continue to get PT. Wilhelm Breidenbach needs to work on foot speed. I was discussing him with my GF on the way back to Omaha after the game and said he kind of reminds me of Luka Garza. As a freshman he was too slow and weak to play as much as he did, but you could see there was talent there. By the next year he looked much better and by his senior year he was national player of the year. I'm not saying that WB will follow the same trajectory, but their freshman years look like they are starting in similar places.

I have a theory that the guys don't like playing on Tuesdays. Tuesday 11/9 vs Western Illinois - they play like crap and lose Tuesday 11/16 vs Creighton - they play like crap and lose Tuesday 11/23 vs Tennessee State - they play like crap and eke out a win Four Tuesday games left - 12/7 vs Michigan, 1/11 vs Illinois, 2/1 @ Michigan, 2/22 @ Northwestern. Let's hope I'm wrong and they play better in these four.

Apparently all the money is going on TSU. The line is down to 16.5. Saw somewhere today that TSU is one of the most fouling teams in D1, so it could be a LONG game.

Opeming line is NU by 18.5

Line is NU by 17. Hopefully there is ball movement like Friday night.

Huskers win 113-58 over UNC Central.

I'd love to see the +/- for Zo's minutes vs Kobe's minutes.

Line is currently NU by 12. Hopefully it's not that close.

It only seems to work that way when Verge has the ball in his hands & occasionally Bryce M.

Based on what I have seen live the last two games, both Verge & Walker should have their minutes drastically reduced and neither should be starting. Kobe Webster may not have the "handles" that Verge does, but at least he gets the offense moving like Hoiberg wants and is a threat from 3. Eduardo Andre brings energy that Walker clearly doesn't have and is a better rebounder & shot blocker and at least as equal as a scoring threat. The last two games when NU made a run, neither were on the floor & I don't think it's a coincidence.

Some love for Bryce https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/ranking-college-basketballs-15-best-debut-performances-by-freshmen-in-their-first-week/

Neither team has looked that good so far this year. Hopefully the lid comes of the basket for the Huskers and they kick some tail.

NC State's best player out for the year. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/32614463/nc-state-forward-manny-bates-miss-remainder-season-right-shoulder-injury
