What will the crowd be like today? Will there be a good full crowd, or another 7500? Will they be into the game, or sitting with a 'show me something first' attitude?

I'm predicting JBD will have a breakout game with 6 rebounds. That's right, he'll get 6, call me crazy but I think the 6'11 guy might be able to grab a rebound 6 times.

I'm also hoping if this game comes down to the wire that Doc is able to find something to exploit so this team gets off good shots in the last minute, rather than jacking 3s that don't have a chance.

Finally, I'm hoping NU wins. This is a game they should not win, period. That being said, the nay-sayers don't care. If NU loses, they'll all be saying 'see, you got excited about nothing earlier in the year. they stink.' Those people don't care that aTm is the 13th best team in the nation, they'll be all over the team and those of us that still think they can win a few more games this season. Doc, I understand if you lose this game you still have a chance to win a handful more this season, but some people can't understand that, so please just win and make this easier for those of us that are dumb enough to continue to follow NU hoops through all the terrible seasons, you'd make life so much easier for us.

:laughpound Atta boy bballbacker, going out on the limb. I love it. I hope for the best and they can win, but I don't know. Homecourt will help, and add in the fact that the game isn't on TV so I can see the Bob being fairly full.

Now the bigs HAVE to show up. Right now I got the over/under of rebound margain for NU at -13. A&M is that good and relentless on the boards.

Finally McCray and one other gueard MUST show up to get the W. Jeter as I, along with many others, is the heart of this team and NU's best player PERIOD. He will need help today

 
Yep its not on TV, I cant even find a stream for the game. But I think there will be a big crowd today, possibly a sell-out. Still don't think your right about Diaz though.

6-6 at under 16 to

 
Each team is going on mini runs, which we need to stop because I don't know how well we can compete with them if they are making runs.

28-21 A&M at under 4 to

 
31-24 at half A&M

Kind of what I expected, didnt think we would come out hot but I thought our 3 point percentage would be higher than 18% 2-11. Diaz is leading the way with 10 points and 3 rebounds. Looks like he is on pace for those 6 boards.

 
It's pretty close to sold out. We are getting open looks but we are being hesitant to take shots, if we start taking our open looks and making them aTm could be on trouble. Our defense is troubling them for the most part.

 
Yeah I get the sense that we are playing pretty hesitant. We are doing a much better job so far in the second half though.

34-31 A&M with 17 to go

 
After that defensive stand, its gut check time. Whos going to step up and make a freakin bucket?
