TAKODA Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Latest line: Ohio State by 13 1/2 with O/U of 118 1/2 Points on this game are right on or very close. Love to predict an upset but when I am reviewing data and it favors an OSU win and looks for a score of 65 to 52. C'mon Huskers, play loose and have fun boys, as you have nothing to lose and everything to gain! GBR Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 My dream scenario is a W tonight and then a W against Iowa to once again ruin their tourney dreams. While ending up in the conference championship game. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 My dream scenario is a W tonight and then a W against Iowa to once again ruin their tourney dreams. While ending up in the conference championship game. i was moreso hoping we could get a quarter game with Michigan St or Wisconsin. We've competed quite well with them two for the most part. Ohio St has completely blown us out of the water in 3 of 4 games. I just wanna see us compete like hell and make sort of a statement- win or lose. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Sold my Big 12 ticket just so I could watch this game, first in a while that I have seen. Totally worth it cause I sold it for double face value! Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Wouldn't you love to hear Time Miles' pregame speech to the guys? I dunno what he says, but he sure gets them fired up. Gets the absolute most out of this team, talent-wise. : Quote Link to comment
