***OFFICIAL Cornhuskers @ Hawks Thread***

[cmh6476]

the spread is 17. Will the Hawks beat the Huskers by 17? :shrug:

It will be nice to see everyone playing and pretty much healthy again :thumb:

[Saulbadguy]

The corn isn't very good on the road, but they have a few guys to watch out for. McCray and Turik mostly. They have a bunch of big guys that can also shoot the 3 . Other than that, their inside game isn't very good. :KU: should dispatch them easily at AFH.

by 17? :shrug:

[cmh6476]

I got a question for the Hawks fans. Where is Miles in relation to the all-tme NCAA assists record? Does he have a chance in hell? :shrug:

[cmh6476]

Hawks: 87
Huskers: 62

PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ

[Saulbadguy]

I got a question for the Hawks fans. Where is Miles in relation to the all-tme NCAA assists record? Does he have a chance in hell? :shrug:
The all-time NCAA assist record was set by Bobby Hurley of Duke. 1076 assists in 140 games, in 1990-1993.

and miles???

[Bearcat]

I got a question for the Hawks fans. Where is Miles in relation to the all-tme NCAA assists record? Does he have a chance in hell? :shrug:

Bobby Hurley -- 1076



Miles has... 850 or so?? Averaging 7 a game..... cracking 1000 would be really cool.

[cmh6476]

I just checked and they arent showing this game in St. Joe. Think the Minsky's on Barry road would be covering it? or where else is a good spot in the northland to ctahc the game/ maybe a bar or something.

Minsky's probably would (nothing else on :shrug: ).... I'm sure 54th Street on Barry Road would be showing it, too.

[Bearcat]

I knew I saw something in the Star about it.....

This is from yesterday's.... guess 850 was a little high...

MILES MOVING UP: With 829 career assists, Miles now ranks 20th on the NCAA's all-time list. Miles, who is averaging seven a game this season, is trying to become the fourth player in NCAA history to tally more than 1,000 assists. He broke Jacque Vaughn's school record of 804 on Jan. 1.

[royr17]

ROCK CHALK JAY-HAWK KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :KU: :KU: :KU: :KU: :KU: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Corn-hole-huskers..................... wow....I'm intimidated. Good thing I'm not starting tonight because I'll admit I'm looking past them....



:)

[BigVE]

THIS would be the type of game that we squeak out a win in the past...Bill Self has these kids ready each and every game so I expect a 20+ pt win. My guess: KU 87 nu65

[ArrowheadHawk]

go jayhawks kick some husker ass

[Saulbadguy]

HUCK THE FUSKERS!!! BIG RED IS DEAD!!!

[royr17]

And the Jayhawks get the tip off .....

[royr17]

Boys we are lookin very shitty right now .... Time out, thank god, self you need to bark down these guys throat and tell them to pull there heads out of there asses and play some ball ....

[Saulbadguy]

Both games i'm watching have started out crappy. KSU women and this game..both are pretty bad right now.

[royr17]

Oh shit, Simien has 2 fouls ....

[Saulbadguy]

Who woulda thought Sasha Kaun would put em on the board..

[royr17]

Alright, way to go Sasha .....

[royr17]

Alright, way to go Sasha .....

[Saulbadguy]

Hahaha...Bob Davis just said "they like the back door play at Nebraska". ROFL

[royr17]

Nice Job J.R. !!!!!!!

[royr17]

Yes J.R. with the alley oop slam ....

[royr17]

Sasha Kaun at the line miss the 1st, and 2nd is no good, damn sasha get in practice and work on those damn free throws, hell your free throws are worse then shaq, and WOW WHAT A 3 POINTER BY ALEX GALINDO THAT WAS DEEP and Galindo with 2 more points, yea that the jayhawks i love seein playin.

[Saulbadguy]

Galindo..impressive.

[chiefsfan987]

Baylor 18 Colorado 1?? huh

[royr17]

Wow what some great defense .........

[Saulbadguy]

Baylor 18 Colorado 1?? huh
Colorado could very easily go 0-16 in the conference this year. They are terrible.

[chiefsfan987]

I don't dispute that they are bad, but against baylor that just doesn't sound right. Heck in the second half against KU weren't they only down by one point before KU made a run?

[royr17]

Come on guys .....

[Saulbadguy]

I don't dispute that they are bad, but against baylor that just doesn't sound right. Heck in the second half against KU weren't they only down by one point before KU made a run?
Baylor is actually improving. IIRC I read that they just matched their win total from last year. Next year they have a HELL of a recruiting class coming in.

[royr17]

Alex Galindo for 3, Gooddddddddddddddddd

[Saulbadguy]

What the hell is that bullshit..3 FT shots?

[chiefsfan987]

I must confess, I don't follow the south much except for the original big 8 teams.

[royr17]

That was ugly i dont what to think i dont know to think if he was just putting it up or if he was tryin 2 slam it and lost handle of it on Jacksons 2 point basket ......

[chiefsfan987]

I wish KU would allow people to stream radio telecasts for free.... Watching it on gamechannel just doesn't cut it.

[Saulbadguy]

I wish KU would allow people to stream radio telecasts for free.... Watching it on gamechannel just doesn't cut it.
Just pay the fee...:)

[royr17]

Air Ball Air Ball Air Ball ........

[chiefsfan987]

I'll pass, nearly every game this year is broadcast nationwide, I'll just miss the 6-7 games that aren't. Nine of the next 11 games are on espn, espn2, abc, or cbs. I just wish the handfull of games that aren't on I could listen to.

[royr17]

Christian Moody checks into the game ......

[chiefsfan987]

The two games that aren't are against KSU, and I'll be able to listen to their radio feeds of the game... so I guess I'm set until March Madness :)

[chiefsfan987]

What the heck is going on? 20-18? Sounds like a lousy half...

[Skip Towne]

I'm not getting the game. I need a play by play account of the game. What's the score?

[Saulbadguy]

I'm not getting the game. I need a play by play account of the game. What's the score?
20-18 NU...both teams look pretty shitty.

[chiefsfan987]

gamechannel has it at 20-18 Nebraska ahead and a tv time out.... I'm not able to watch it either...

[royr17]

Kansas is down 20-18, mIles brings it down the court, pass to Kaun, and then passed to Giddens and he air balls the shot, our guys are playin very shitty right now, Moody at the line, misses the first free throw, missed the 2nd too

McCray hit a deep 3 pass to J.R. pass to Kaun, and he gets hacked and foul not called

[chiefsfan987]

[royr17]

Lose ball tie up, belongs to Nebraska

[royr17]

Kansas get the rebound and Langford is fouled goin to the line to shoot 1 and 1.

[royr17]

1st free throw is good Jackson checks in and Langford missed the 2nd

[chiefsfan987]

Simeon 0 points? is that right?

[royr17]

I'll do play for play for you skip

[chiefsfan987]

play by play would be greatly appreciated for those of us not able to watch or listen :)

[royr17]

Kansas down 24-21 have played shitty, need 2 really pick it up in the 2nd half, waitin 2 take the last shot, pass to giddens, shot by j.r. not good, end of the 1st half

[ROYC75]

OK, right when I made the damn comment that things with the Hawks should look up and start putting it together for the stretch run...... we play a sucky half ! :shake:

[Skip Towne]

If we lose, the guy who started this thread is in deep doo doo. He screwed up our mo-jo. Ali Chiefs starts the animal team threads and I start the others.

[royr17]

Alex Galindo stepped up and played with Wayne out of the game ........

[royr17]

Lee at the line for 2, 1st is good, 2nd is good

[Coach]

Cheap shot there.

[royr17]

Doulbe fouled called could be a technical on both, McCray tried to kick lee, and they are probably calling a technical foul on lee

[Saulbadguy]

Technical Fouls...lee and mccray get in a shoving match.

[royr17]

Both McCray and Lee charged with technical fouls

[Coach]

Let it be known that this is by far the worst officiating crew I have ever seen so far.

[Saulbadguy]

Lee fouls McCray...49-45 KU

[royr17]

Miles bringin downt he ball to langford and the lane for 2, almost made it and was fouled

[Saulbadguy]

Let it be known that this is by far the worst officiating crew I have ever seen so far.
Thibeaux or whatever his name is SUCKS. He's a big part of the reason KSU lost to NU...terrible.

[royr17]

Langford at the line to attempt 2 free throws, 1st is swished, 2nd is good

[royr17]

Langford with the foul

[Saulbadguy]

I told you guys..McCray..he is gonna be a name to remember.

Another horrible call, as the Nebraska player dragged Langford down with him. That one should be a no-call.

[royr17]

51-47 KU

[royr17]

Ball inbounded Miles bringin it down, Miles with the pull up jumper good

[royr17]

Langford with another foul

[royr17]

Langford just got wiped out

[Coach]

Hmmm... the officials are calling the fouls on KU, but not calling anything aganist Nebraska? Something smells fishy here.

[Skip Towne]

How much time left?

[royr17]

Langfords been gettin called for ticky tack fouls and he gets wiped out and they dont even call a foul on mccray, that tells you how bad these refs are tonight

[royr17]

3:50

[Coach]

How much time left?

3:30

[chiefsfan987]

11 nebraska fouls this half, 10 kansas fouls this half according to gamechannel.... sounds pretty even to me, but I'm not able to watch or listen.

[royr17]

Rebound J.R. Langford fouled and shot goes in will go to the line for 1

[royr17]

Langford at the line no good in and out

[Coach]

11 nebraska fouls this half, 10 kansas fouls this half according to gamechannel.... sounds pretty even to me, but I'm not able to watch or listen.

It is a bit even, but some of those calls are really ticky-tack calls. As if they are officating a high-school game.

[chiefsfan987]

gotcha

[royr17]

Simien up for 2, no good, whistle and foul on galindo

[Saulbadguy]

How was that a foul on Galindo....

[royr17]

Timeout KU with 2:35 left to go in the game

[Coach]

Yeah, this game is rigged. F*cking refrees are controlling the tempo of this game. This is f*cking silly. That's one reason why I don't watch much professional sports is because they are controlling the tempo. Let the players play, dumbf*cks.

[royr17]

Missouri got beat at home 78-62 Skip

[Saulbadguy]

55-53 KU, 2:20 left

[royr17]

2 point game, come on guys, jayahwks fans root on your team

[Saulbadguy]

Simien with 12...57-53 KU 2:00 left

[royr17]

Wayne with the pull up jumper GOOD

[Saulbadguy]

Simien 2-6 at the line...he has sucked with that cast.

[Coach]

KU is really going to have to work on their FT shooting. If they want to go deep in the NCAA tournament, they have to make those FT's.

[royr17]

Simien to the line for 2, 1st no good, 2nd no good

[Saulbadguy]

Simien..traveled.

[Coach]

Simien..traveled.

Didn't look like traveling to me.

[royr17]

God Simien got wiped out, why not a offensive foul

[Saulbadguy]

Didn't look like traveling to me.
Did to me...

[Saulbadguy]

57-55 KU with 1 minute to go.

[royr17]

[royr17]

Langford fouled, can he make a free throw

[royr17]

Langford 1st Swished

[Saulbadguy]

They need a 4 point lead. NU can shoot the three.

[Skip Towne]

Aaarrrggghhh!! We can't lose to friggin Nebraska.

[royr17]

NEB Timeout, 55-58 KU

[royr17]

Langfords 2nd no good

[Saulbadguy]

58-57 KU, miles going to the line.

[royr17]

Galindo blocks a shot they get it back and puts it up for 2 and miles is fouled immediately

[Coach]

And the FT's continues to plauge the Jayhawks.

[royr17]

Miles missed the 1st, 2nd is good

[AZChief]

come on ku. need these free throws!

az

[4th and Long]

Looks like we forgot how to shoot free throws. :cuss:

[Saulbadguy]

20.6 seconds left, 59-57 KU. KU really looks awful tonight. They in NO way look like a top 10 team.

[royr17]

KU up by 2, 57-59, with 20.6 seconds to go and Neb timeout

[Saulbadguy]

GUARD MCCRAY.

[chiefsfan987]

anyone think ku should foul so that nebraska can't shoot a 3?

[royr17]

Ok guys lets play some defense

[Saulbadguy]

Rebound off a missed three...KU wins. Wow.

[Coach]

Wow... KU got really lucky today.

[chiefsfan987]

esnp just showed the last 20 seconds.... wow, that was scary

[royr17]

3-Pointer no good by Sims, rebound Galindo, its over, Jayhawks win, Wow what a game

[4th and Long]

Damn good thing they missed that 3 to end the game. We absolutely sucked at the line tonight.

[Saulbadguy]

I'll say this..NU is NOT that good. KU really looked awful tonight.

[KCFalcon59]

The absolute worst officiated game I have seen this year.

[Skip Towne]

anyone think ku should foul so that nebraska can't shoot a 3?
Yes.

[chiefsfan987]

Looks like they better bring their A game to lincoln otherwise they may get blown out...

[Mr. Laz]

complete fug ugly brawl ball :shake:





i sure hope Bill Self plans on installing an offense sometime this year

[Kris Kringle]

This bad game was totally MY fault. It's the first KU game that I've watched. We're lucky they didn't lose. I'll try not to watch another game all season. Sorry.

[ROYC75]

All things aside, we just plain sucked tonight.

But a win is a win, even when you play bad.

[chiefsfan987]

I can't complain, all that I ask is that they have more points on the board than the opponent when the clock strikes 0.0 Was it ugly, yes, but it was a win. I'm starting to think this is how the season is going to go, lots of close games with the Jayhawks on the winning end of most of them.

[Skip Towne]

If we're the #2 team in the nation I'm Amelia Earhart. WE SUCK!!!!!

[4th and Long]

This bad game was totally MY fault. It's the first KU game that I've watched. We're lucky they didn't lose. I'll try not to watch another game all season. Sorry.
Please don't watch any more game. Do something productive like, waxing your sleigh, feeding the reindeer or keeping an iron fist on the elves so they don't form a union and cause my Christmas presents to increase dramatically in price.

[the Talking Can]

If we're the #2 team in the nation I'm Amelia Earhart. WE SUCK!!!!!

MU sucks....calm down....

[Mr. Laz]

I can't complain, all that I ask is that they have more points on the board than the opponent when the clock strikes 0.0 Was it ugly, yes, but it was a win
that's complete crap..


marty shottenheimer used to say he same thing all the time

people said the same thing last year when they chiefs kept pulling wins outa their @ss with all those wild special teams plays by dante hall too.

who needs a defense, we have dante hall :shake:



sooner or later these ugly wins will turn into ugly losses IF we don't get our game together.

[ROYC75]

I would list us as top 5, but the top 2 teams are in North Carolina right now.

We do have the ability. No more out scoring the opponet by run and gun fast pace, it's a slow down slugfest defensive style of ball.

Who knows, the tourney is a crap shoot anyways .

[Coach]

If it is UNC, I disagree. They just got manhandled by WF. If you meant WF, then I would agree. I have to say Illinois and WF as the top 2 teams right now.

[chiefsfan987]

that's complete crap..

so you're going to be the first to complain when KU wins a national championship in an ugly game? I'll take an ugly win any day of the week over a loss. KU gets everybodys best shot, its not fair to ask them to be on every single night. No one goes perfect these days and so far Kansas is, even though some of the games aren't. Complaining about a 14-0 start is just nonsense.

[Lzen]

If it is UNC, I disagree. They just got manhandled by WF. If you meant WF, then I would agree. I have to say Illinois and WF as the top 2 teams right now.

You mean the Wake Forest team that got killed by Illinois and just lost last night to Florida State? :rolleyes:

[ROYC75]

Felton got into foul trouble early the 1st half, plus the game was at Wake..... the difference in that game.

Wake got beat last night by Florida State........

Illini is not as good as the critics are saying, just like KU....


IMHO, I see the top 4 as ...

NC
Wake
KU
Illini

But that's just me.......

BTW, The ACC is much tougher this year than the Big 12.

Well I didn't know they lost to FSU the other night, so I guess I am still kept in the dark.

But there isn't really a no-clear cut number 2 team in the NCAA right now. Illinois is clearly the number 1 team right now.

[ROYC75]

Illinois is in North Carolina?

ROFL


Illini have great guard play, if you take them away, they fall off alot.

My hope is Self gets these guys mentally and physically tough for the tourney. They will have to be clicking on all cylinders for the tourney.

There was some jibber jabber about us going undeafeated again in conf. play..... after tonights effort, I don't see it. After all, we were at home.

I don't buy that...... Illinois was ranked 7, 8, or 9th, maybe 11th to start the season.

KU sneaked by a couple of teams as Illinois moved up due to some other top 10 teams falling.

Wake plays a bad game at Illinois after illinois moves up to # 3 as Wake is # 1. Leap frog right to the top.

Most critics didn't have Illinois in the top 7 or 8 to start with.... it's because of the gaurd play, they are great, but if they go out, they are average to marginal than most teams.

Every team out there you can make a case for, pros and cons, either way......

It seems most of our scares are at home. That just ain't right. I don't trust this team at all. Where was Dub?

No. 2 Kansas 59, Nebraska 57

Jan. 19, 2005
SportsLine.com wire reports

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Wayne Simien scored all 12 of his points in the second half and No. 2 Kansas remained unbeaten Wednesday night with a shaky and sloppy 59-57 victory over Nebraska.

The Cornhuskers went for the win and not the tie on their final shot. Corey Simms put up a 3-pointer with 2.6 seconds left but missed, and Alex Galindo hugged the rebound to his chest as the buzzer sounded.

The Jayhawks (14-0, 4-0 Big 12) trailed by three points at halftime, made only 13 of 28 foul shots and were outrebounded 43-36.

Simien, the only Big 12 player averaging a double-double, sat down with two fouls less than four minutes into the first half and did not have a point or a rebound when the Cornhuskers (8-6, 2-2) went into halftime with a surprising 24-21 lead.

But then Simien had five points and five rebounds in a 10-0 run to start the second half and it looked as if the Jayhawks were on their way to the easy victory most of the sellout crowd expected.

But the Huskers lead the Big 12 in scoring defense at 58.8 points per game and played like it, holding the Jayhawks almost 20 points below their season average.

Keith Langford, who did not have a field goal in the first half, made it 51-45 Kansas with a pair of free throws with 4:40 to go, but freshman Joe McCray scored the next eight points for Nebraska, and the Jayhawks could not put the underdogs away.

McCray had 19 points and Wes Wilkinson 16 for Nebraska, which shot only 32 percent against the tight Kansas defense.

Langford and J.R. Giddens each scored nine for Kansas, and Aaron Miles and Galindo had eight.

McCray worked inside for a basket that made it 58-57, then Miles hit one of two free throws to give the Jayhawks a 59-57 lead with 24.3 seconds to go.

The Jayhawks, back at home after three straight road games, missed their first eight shots and trailed 24-21 when Giddens missed a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer.

With Simien on the bench and Langford in the locker room after hobbling away, Galindo kept the Jayhawks from falling into an even deeper hole in the first half when he hit two 3-pointers and a layup in an 8-0 surge.

Nebraska then outscored the Jayhawks 10-5 the final few minutes of the half.

It seems most of our scares are at home. That just ain't right. I don't trust this team at all. Where was Dub?

Dub played 3 minutes in the first half. That is why this was close.

[redfan]

Hoo-boy I just won a hundge offa ku homer!

17 points my arse...who made that spread?!?!

Hey guys who I did play by play for I got one thing to ask, DO I GET ANY REP ??????
Wha? You're asking for rep? You did a shitty job. I had to keep asking for the score and time remaining. Bob Davis you ain't.

[Saulbadguy]

Bob "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH they're gonna call this one on Kansas!" Davis?

[Mr. Laz]

so you're going to be the first to complain when KU wins a national championship in an ugly game? I'll take an ugly win any day of the week over a loss. KU gets everybodys best shot, its not fair to ask them to be on every single night. No one goes perfect these days and so far Kansas is, even though some of the games aren't. Complaining about a 14-0 start is just nonsense.
NO ... i'm saying the chances of us getting to a championship game get slimmer and slimmer the longer we go without improving.



i'm not asking them to be ON every time .... they don't seem to be ON any night.

this seems to be our gameplan .... Brawl ball.



typic RAH RAH bullchit ... 14-0 you CAN'T complain

chiefs 9-0 ..... you CAN'T complain



mark my words ... just like the chiefs last year ... if they Hawks don't improve, their get their @ss handed to them come Tourney time.



you next comment should be something about a "True Fan" ... (just trying to help out) :rolleyes:

[Pants]

Laz, blowouts don't help come Tourney time, close games are the standard in MM so getting used/immune to them is a good thing.

[KcMizzou]

Bob "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH they're gonna call this one on Kansas!" Davis? ROFL Yeah... I can't knock KU, because I'd love to trade places with them right now. But Davis is the biggest homer in sports radio. I listened to the GT game, and I thought that guy was gonna have a coronary.

Bob Davis is a great announcer. When OSU had their plane go down a few years ago, their play by play guy got killed. So OSU had other Big XII announcers fill in. I listened to Bob do the game for OSU and he sounded like an OSU homer. He was just as good for them as he is for us. I emailed the sports editor of the Daily Oklahoman and asked which fill in did the best. He said Davis going away. Several others really fugged up. We're damn lucky to have him.

Asking for rep in the open and denied rep in the open.

Brutal. ROFL

He's no Denny Trease...I can tell you that. Somehow, the guy always calls the championship seasons. He called the '85 Royals...he called the '88 Jayhawks...and apparently he called the UK Wildcats before the Royals when they won a championship or two under Joe B. Hall. Probably too old for many to remember...but a local team needs to bring him back to KC.

KU this year plays up/down to their competition. They remind me of Ohio State football when they won the national title a few years ago. Great D, but just enough offense to win, not blowing anyone out. They make it interesting. It remains to be seen if this style translates to a basketball national title.

While I agree that the close games will serve them better in the tourney than blowouts, I still think they need to put away crappy teams like Nebraska, especially at home. Having said that, I refuse to doubt them again. I doubted them versus Georgia Tech, I doubted them versus Kentucky. I even had reservations going into Iowa State. It does say something that you can play that poorly and still win. The bench definitely won this game.

Exactly. Obviously, they have their problems on offense, but like JoPo said today in the Star, their defense is good enough to get away with sleepwalking through a random conference game in the middle of January. I don't like the Big10+1 style of offense, but I really like the toughness on defense.

Despite what Self said last year, everyone knew this style was coming to KU... after peaking at the right time last year, I have faith that they can get it done in March this year.

[cmh6476]

If we lose, the guy who started this thread is in deep doo doo. He screwed up our mo-jo. Ali Chiefs starts the animal team threads and I start the others.
:(

[Skip Towne]

:(
Yeah, see what you almost did.

[Lzen]

Well I didn't know they lost to FSU the other night, so I guess I am still kept in the dark.

But there isn't really a no-clear cut number 2 team in the NCAA right now. Illinois is clearly the number 1 team right now.

Well, I didn't mean to come off sounding harsh. I just think that we're all getting a little too panicked about this. Despite what the pessimist wants to think, KU is 14-0. Comparing them to the Chiefs is not fair, IMO. KU is winning by playing solid ball. Sure, their offense struggles at times. But they step up and make plays when they need to and that's the sign of a championship team.

Like Bearcat said, I don't care for the style of offense that Self has brought but, I do love the tough, physical defense. We haven't seen a defense this good at KU in a lot of years. We all know that guys like Simien, Langford, and even Miles can score. The young guys are still getting the grasp with different guys in and out of the lineup. But I'm thinking they will eventually settle into a rotation.

Frankly, I think the game last night should not have been that close. That guy on Nebraska got a lot of cheap calls to go his way. The refs were dumb enough to not know they were being used. And the game probably would not have been that close if KU would've been hitting their FTs. They struggled badly at the line last night. That part is a bit disappointing. Espcecially since it seemed that they had been working on that the last few games. :(

I still have faith that this team can go deep into the tourney. :)

I do as well, KU is still seaching for the right mix of players on the floor at different intervals during the game. The freshmen have got to step up more. They are getting plenty of play now which is good, it's the only way to get ahold of the style of play Selfs wants out of them.

What pisses me off about last nights game is out of control the veteran players play. Missed FT's, lack of rebounding,fouls, temper, and lack of focus. It was an all around disappointment.

Credit Nebraska with a gutty effort, but the lack of focus by KU last night was the biggest reason this game was close.

My question to all is this, Will the players remember this and improve
from a lack of focus effort or Do you think they will brush it off since they won ?

Do you think a loss would have made them focus more than a shallow win over a weaker team ?

Last night's performanced sucked........ Did the players over look Nebraska at home, looking forwards to Villanova ?

[Bearcat]

Yeah, it doesn't matter what style they play, they can't keep getting out-rebounded every game. I know Simien's absence and last night's foul trouble was part of the problem, but they have to get better.

The comparison to the Chiefs is unfair, because we're talking about struggles on different sides of the ball. Defense wins championships ;)

Heh, how about that Huskers football team? What was the name of that bowl they went to this year? For some reason, the name escapes me. 4321
