Nice!

Decent ! (because of the notoriety last year)

IF this had been announced last December, I'd bet there would have been a collective 15,000 fan sigh........

Definitely. Especially for those who remember a couple years ago when we beat them by a point. This works out very very well for us. The game will get good attention because of their Sweet Sixteen appearance, and many will learn of our new facility in the process. Love it. Doubt the same team from the tourney shows up either, will be embarrassing if we lose.

I wouldn't call it embarrassing by any means. Sherwood brown its the only player they lose. The coach left for So Cal, but they hired Kansas assistant Joe Dooley, so I highly doubt Dunk City will be grounded. And I'd take Comer as my point guard any day. The tourney was just his coming out party

 

[Count 'Bility]

They lost their coach? So that means his wife will NOT be in Lincoln?

Awwe shucks.

 

[huskeraddict]

They had Enfield and Brown in Lincoln in 2011 and still lost by one! WE'LL BE ALRIGHT THO.

If we are able to win this game, it will set a great tone for the season and put our confidence at a great place. Already excited!

Heard on the Doug and Daddy radio show on ESPN Superstation 1460 here in Kearney that the first "game" will be an exhibition with the Lopers November4th I believe?

 

[mrandyk]

I'm sure there will be an exhibition or two, but the first game of record will be against Florida Gulf Coast.

 

[Lyons in the Sea of Red.]

Yes, there will be an exhibition with Kearney first at PBA. There is an open house type deal too. They are saving the bells and whistles for the big thing though.
