Cornhuskers Basketball Schedule


Tigers get bounced from the Big 12 tourney. Nebraska still alive..

It's a win.

In fact, it's a huge win. Likely the biggest win of the season, unless the Huskers can keep the ball rolling against the Aggies tomorrow. Missouri was no doubt the favorite in this game, but clearly they either believed it too much...or simply not enough. Whatever the case, Missouri was out-hustled, out-rebounded, and all together out-played from the starting tip.

This Nebraska team has made it very clear this season. You never know what you're gonna get with this group. In wins over Oklahoma and Texas Tech, the Huskers started both hot and cold respectively. One day it looks like this team can come from behind, and the next it seems like they have to build a big lead early to have any chance. The latter of which, happened today. The Huskers went on a 16-1 run early, and never looked back. Judging by the post-game comments from Missouri players and coaches, Nebraska was just better prepared, and played harder than the Tigers from start to finish. Of course, it doesn't hurt when everything you throw up goes in.

Husker Hardwood: Big 12 Tournament and Missouri

In about 7 days, the country will be immersed in the most exciting, fast-paced, tree-killing, corporate productivity-wasting, head-slapping, money-exchanging, seizure inducing, "I can't watch 8 screens at once for Pete's sake!, basketball tournament known to man. This is the only time of the year when so many people, who know so little about a sport, spend so much time watching it. It's like a coke-fueled frenzy of sports fanaticism. The NFL playoffs on speed. The World Series on fast-forward. The last desperate attempt to squeeze enjoyment out of competitive sports until we slowly ease into baseball season, and proceed to not give a damn about the NBA Playoffs again.

But before that happens, we have the conference tourneys.

Each conference will sort out their own house, and determine what teams they will be sending to the bloodbath known as March Madness. I love this time of year. LOVE IT. The god-forsaken Iowa cold is finally losing it's death grip, the grass is showing through what used to be mountains of snow, thoughts of lying by the pool sneaking peeks of tanned skin in bikinis.....ahhh. Throw in a major basketball tournament and a printed office pool bracket, and you have one damn good reason to feel that life is worth living again. As happens every year, the excitement will cause me to don my old Creighton sweatshirt, inflate my dusty flacid basketball, and head down to the local park to shoot hoops.  I'm even considering buying a bigger television just for the occasion. ( Thank you tax man!)

Conference Realignment Talk May Only Be Pressure on Notre Dame

All the talk about conference realignment as a result of Big Ten (11) expansion may be having it's intended effect.  Yesterday, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick admitted that Notre Dame is rethinking it's football independence.  A 14 or 16 team Big Ten might damage the Big East, where Notre Dame participates in most of their other sports.  ESPN's Bracketology currently has Notre Dame on the bubble (while SB Nation's own Bracketology has them in), but in with a #12 seed, of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.  Would Notre Dame have the resume for an NCAA berth if the Big East wasn't as strong?

So has all this talk about a titanic shift in college football just a power play to push Notre Dame into the Big Ten?  Perhaps, though it depends on whether the Big Ten wants to solidify and enhance their position as a premier conference by adding bigger names.  Pitt and Rutgers aren't big names, but Notre Dame and Nebraska certainly would be.

One reason why the Big Ten would want to think bigger is the future of the Big Ten network.  The Big Ten makes the conference a lot of money...but it still only reaches about 40% of the country.  Bigger names make it more desirable to cable subscribers.

The financial success of the Big Ten network has gotten the attention of the Big XII, where  the idea of a Big 12 Network has resurfaced.  Good idea for non-revenue sports, as a Big 12 Network would increase exposure nationwide.  But the Big XII's current TV contracts for football give the Big XII better exposure than the Big Ten or SEC networks, who bump many games to the relatively low-exposure Big Ten and ESPNU networks.

But the money is hard to ignore.  And money drives so much of college athletics anymore, it's certainly a realistic proposition.

Nebraska ladies are the class of the conference. Big 12 awards announced!


Surprised?

I'm not even sure if those who reside in Oklahoma, Iowa, or any other Big 12 state, were taken back by the announcement of the conference Player of the Year in womens basketball. Despite some strong performances outside of the Big Red state, few would(or could) argue that Kelsey Griffin isn't deserving of every major award handed out this year in the womens game. Whether she collects them all or not, remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, she will be included on every ballot.

Griffin was named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Year on Monday, adding a little more glitter to what has already been a magical season in Lincoln. In addition to Griffin being named the leagues best player, she was also named to the All Big 12 first team, and is the first Husker to ever win the Big 12 POY award.

Breaking Down the 2010 Big 12 Football Schedule

Bo Pelini has to be happy about this year's schedule. If the Huskers can get past Washington, they may contend for a national title.

Bo Pelini has to be happy about this year's schedule. If the Huskers can get past Washington, they may contend for a national title.

The 2010 college football season is months away. Teams have yet to go through spring practice which means there's still plenty of opportunities for players to transfer, get in trouble doing something stupid, or suffer depth-chart rearranging injuries. In other words, there's plenty of time for things to happen that alter the 2010 landscape.

The 2010 schedules are set, however, so we can do a realistic breakdown of who benefits and who gets the shaft from this year's schedule. The conference apparently has fallen in love with Jerryworld (Cowboys Stadium) in Dallas as this year the stadium will host the Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas, the Texas A&M-Arkansas game, and the Texas Tech-Baylor game.

Go to the link, go down the left side and vote for Kelsey Griffin for Player of the Year.

There are two players from UConn, Maya Moore and Tina Charles, who are ahead of her, so give Griffin your support. She deserves it.

8 days ago: Nebraska's Ryan Anderson (44) takes a shot over Colorado's Marcus Relphorde (5) during an NCAA college basketball game Tuesday, March 2, 2010, in Lincoln, Neb. (AP Photo/Dave Weaver)


Well, here we are folks...the last regular season games of  2009-10. The Big 12 tournament will offer the men at least one more game (hopefully a few more)...but we all know what the chances of that are. For as poor as the Nebraska men's win-loss record is, the season seemed to fly by pretty quickly. Maybe it was that every game seemed to hold a real chance at victory, despite the opponent. Maybe it was because everyone started following the ladies and their uncanny run at greatness. The ladies on the other hand, have a chance at Husker history.

Either way you look at it, it's another Husker basketball season coming to an end. After all the men have been through, I really hope that the Cowboys are napping a bit when Gallagher-Iba Arena gets to tippin the ball. I have been thinking a lot about the fate of these younger guys lately, and what we can or should expect in seasons to come. Call me an optimist, but I think that we have a good chance at staying at or above .500 in the league for the next 2-3 years with this crop of players. The women are living it up while they can. With the largest senior class in history, next season will hold a lot of question marks for these ladies.
