I’ll be at the Hornets game tonight on a date but hope to be able to catch the second half somewhere after 

Either you’re thinking the date isn’t going to end well....or you’re converting her to a husker fan.

Or you just go to “grab drinks” after at a bar your buddy is the bartender at and you text him before the game to make sure it’s on

Miles teams seem to play fairly well when the crowd is hyped. 

 

The Vault is a tough place to play... Mid-week game.... Michigan State is going to have to come out and play with emotion or face a tough hill to climb.

 

That being said, they are really good so I dont know what to expect but I actually think it will be entertaining and stressful.

Isaiah Roby: The modern big

Top 100 ranking: No. 34

A potential breakout candidate coming into the season, Roby spurned a slow start and is finally turning the corner for Nebraska. Over his past five games, the versatile 6-8 junior is averaging 15.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.4 assists in 30.2 minutes while going 6 of 11 from 3 during that stretch.The late bloomer -- a 6-2 point guard (and quarterback) as a freshman in high school -- hadn't had much high-level experience before landing in the Big Ten, and he has understandably taken time to develop both his body and confidence.

Most recently pouring in 22 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks against Penn State, Roby is starting to string together the type of performances scouts wanted to see coming into the season. At 220 pounds with a 7-2 wingspan and the agility of a perimeter player, Roby is a highly-intriguing outside-the-box 4/5 who can switch everything, protect the rim, space the floor with given time and space, and even initiate offense. Nebraska regularly allows Roby to bring the ball upcourt, even off made baskets. He's not a flashy passer, but he makes the right read more often than not and can also play out of dribble handoffs or pocket passes.

"I think I see myself as a point forward," Roby told ESPN. "I'm comfortable sharing the ball, making plays. My vision is one of my best assets so I can definitely see myself being that in the future." It's Roby's shooting that has opened up the floor for him lately. He started the season far too reluctant from the perimeter, hoisting only four triples in his first 5 games. He's looking far more confident now. Offensively, he can function as a grab-and-go, playmaking forward or a small-ball center who can short roll or attack off handoffs. Showing those elements of his game more consistently is an emphasis for him

"Sometimes I get kind of complacent out there and that hurts the team and hurts myself," Roby said. "I feel like when I'm playing aggressive that's when we're at our best and that's when I'm at my best, too."

For all his intrigue on defense, Roby still lacks a degree of consistency in terms of toughness and physicality -- important improvement areas considering his somewhat narrow frame. Should he decide to leave the Huskers, he could earn first-round interest given his modern fit.

Headed down now- hoping for the home court magic to continue.  Single digit win

I’m as nervous about this game as I used to be for certain football games.  

 

Thats a good thing for the basketball program. 

 

Now, let’s make sure this doesn’t end like an 80s ou game.

Watson is trying to do to much on the offensive end, and not enough on the defensive end.

[Omaha-Husker]

Bench going to have to play with this pace.

[Big red surfers]

Way to amped.  Take a deep breath guys.
