pctopeka Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Why is everyone counting the Mizzou game as an Autowin. They beat us at home just two weeks ago and they have already played two game this year at the Sprint. My question also. Mizzou is certainly underachieving (except in the bar fight area), but they do have wins over Purdue, Kansas State, Maryland and Texas. Sounds like our football team! Especially the bar fight.

Dhuskers Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 the only way nebraska can make the ncaa is by winning the tourney, otherwise you have to be at least .500 in regular season conference play. if we do somehow beat kansas and mizzou we will still have two more games to play in the big XII tourney.

Im not saying we belong in the tourney but last year Arkansas had a 7-9 conference record and made it. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan500 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I think if NU gets to the finals they are in the big dance for sure Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I think if NU gets to the finals they are in the big dance for sure That's a pretty big "if". Mizzou won't be a push over. I think we'll have to play our best in order to beat them. And if we beat Mizzou, there's Kansas. Spare me all that stuff about "it's hard to beat the same team 3 times in a season". We were blown out, big time, in both of those games we played against them. Any time we play Kansas it almost looks as if we're scared. To me anyway. I know that was pretty early in the season, and Nebraska is playing much better right now. The game may be closer, but I wouldn't be surprised to see another loss by 20 points or so. We're pretty much a lock for the NIT. I'd say that's a pretty good start to get to where we want to be. And hopefully we can build on that next year. Quote Link to comment
Dhuskers Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 I think if NU gets to the finals they are in the big dance for sure thats how it should be but like I said you need to have at least .500 conference record or win your conference tourney... Quote Link to comment

papersun87 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Tipping off in a moment . . . and the friggin' Internet radio feed starts to have "technical difficulties." Edit: Oh, there, it's back. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 NU leads Missouri 30-28 at the half. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Actually kinda pleased thus far, we've played poorly, been sloppy with the ball handling and are of course having trouble with the FCP.. MU has been shooting 3's left and right and are shoving our players all over the paint and yet we are LEADING at the half. If we can take better control of the ball in the 2nd half and make smart shots we should win... we gotta start getting more rebounds though, MU is doing way too good on the offensive boards.

papersun87 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Did anyone see that three pointer that was like, half in and then came out? They were going nuts about it on the radio, but I didn't see it. Edit: Oh, yeah: NU 49, MU 45 Quote Link to comment
huskeraddict Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 NU WINS! NU WINS! 61-56 Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 WE WON!!! NU 61, MU 56 Sounded like we played really good defense throughout. Maric had a huge block in the final ten seconds to put Strowbridge on the FT line and give NU a two-possession lead. Bring on Kansas. Quote Link to comment

KSU also was 10-6 in Big 12 play last year and 22-11 overall and didn't make it. The Huskers RPI is sitting at about 93 right now. Which I don't understand because their W/L record against the top 100 is the same as West Virginia, and they are RPI 31. With that said, the Huskers need to win the tourney to make it in. They are finishing the season off right and playing some good basketball. I think Doc has maxed out the talent that is here. The Huskers are playing solid team basketball and it is fun to watch.
