Blackshirts007 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Will be a very tough game. Hopefully we can play close and give us a chance at the end. I would love to see us play well in the tourney. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 So....I have never used ESPN3. Is there a subscription or anything to watch it on that? Quote Link to comment
wiuhusker Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 So....I have never used ESPN3. Is there a subscription or anything to watch it on that? As long as you have a cable provider and know your login information for your account you should be fine. But there is no separate subscription required Quote Link to comment

huskeraddict Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Huskers trail 11-5 at the first media break. UMass is controlling the offensive glass but they have the height advantage. Need to make our shots count. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Marketing class was unimportant today, got just enough time to watch us before my meeting. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Shavon with a nice piece of acting. But a bad job of executing. Quote Link to comment
huskeraddict Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Ugh, our FT shooting needs work on the whole. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 0 points from that intentional foul. CAN'T DO THAT Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thank God Shields came to play this game. Because everyone else is probably a little too amped. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 We're going to have to double inside. Let them take those 3s or outside shots. Other teams are going to want to beat us inside--we're going to have to make them beat us from the outside. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 17-13 Minutemen at the 2nd TV timeout. Quote Link to comment
