PaulCrewe Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well I'll start it up. We all know how big this game is for NU AND KSU's NCAA Tourney chances. It is also HUGE for conference tourney seeding and the dog fight for fourth. I'm a broken record at this but the keys as always are rebounding(limit 2nd chance points), outside shooting, starting fast, and obviously more stressed after the last game, turnovers. I like how NU takes care of the ball at home and the fact this year they are knocking down their FT's, so although I am setting myself up for disappointment I got NU by 9. Don't think Diaz is 100%, so Almeida hopefully keeps up his strong play and doesn't get in foul trouble. Always know where Pullen is and don't leave him to double. Let's go Big Red, another step closer after tonight, but it will be a fight. Quote Link to comment
mmmtodd Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 NU by NINE?!?! I must admire your confidence, but Ill take the Huskers by 2. 68-66. And havent we been pretty shoddy in late game free throws as of late? Quote Link to comment
Parl Celini Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 K-State is always a tough team but we just can't turn the ball over 10+ more times than they do. If we limit turnovers and second chance points we should definately win this game. Quote Link to comment

It is one of the few times of late I have actually like NU's chances. And yes the Texas game was bad at the end for FT's but the team is hitting something like 77% in conference play. The last couple of years that number has been closer to 50%. And for the Texas game they shot 72% for the game a couple of years ago NU wouldn't have been in that position because of all the missed.

gratefullred Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I am going to be watching how Almeida matches up with KSU's quicker bigs. I really think Almeida is a difference maker, hoping he is getting into shape. I can't remember being this excited for a 8'clock Wednesday hoops game. Quote Link to comment

I really think Almeida is a difference maker, hoping he is getting into shape. I can't remember being this excited for a 8'clock Wednesday hoops game. I think he matches up real good. I figured Texas' more athletic quicker bigs would give him fits and he played awesomely. KSU's bigs are more physical, so we should see some good banging when Andre is in the game. Let's hope they let the big guys bang and not turn this into a two hand touch game. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 This will be a doozy. Big men have to play BIG and Diaz has to play inspired. Just can't lay an egg in the first 5 minutes of the game. Have to compete in the beginning, then make a run once both teams start playing more composed. Quote Link to comment

PaulCrewe Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Bring in the big guy. And let him and Diaz go to work at the same time. Thought that was a good look for NU Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Decent start. Playing very agressive defense. Just need to get some better shots on offense. Quote Link to comment
