Please use this thread to discuss the Nebraska - Oklahoma basketball game or any other games you might be watching (or listening to) today.
I had hoped to do a full preview of the game, but alas, something called work interfered. Or maybe it was the children, specifically the oldest one as I attended an orientation meeting about him going into high school, picking a career and getting into college. As we went through the meeting, the counselor at one point said "This idea that you find yourself in your junior year of college? Those days are gone." He then later pointed out that his daughter has $150k of college debt (she's a dentist) and right then and there I decided that my oldest son is going to be a welder.
I don't know if you can get many jobs as a welder, but the schools don't take nearly as long and they're a lot cheaper than these high falootin' universities these days. He keeps asking about a 'fine arts' high school. If you have any ideas on what you think would be a wise career choice for him, I'd love to hear them. Please, nothing about being a lawyer or investment banker.
Besides, finding a job is his problem, not mine. Anyway, that's where my mind has been since last night, I apologize for not having it on the important things in life like Husker basketball.
Freshman point guard and floor general Cookie Miller will miss this game with a severe shoulder sprain. I've always thought that a severe sprain would be worse than a dislocation, but guess what! I'm wrong! SB Nation blog Conquest Chronicles' Dr. Jim provides all the information you need to know about shoulder sprains, or tears, whether they're a class I, II, III or you have to have your arm lopped off.
Crimson and Cream Machine has given us a clue about what Nebraska needs to do to win this game.
- Without much comment and because I'm running behind and still at work, here are things like your leaders and overall statistics from each team.
Beat the Sooners! Yay us!

Davison says that Ryan Anderson has just dislocated a finger.
Says he'll be back. Friggin' ouch, man!
A big half so far...
I hope this doesn't go the way the game in Ames did two Saturdays ago...

at the half
Nebraska leads 29-12.
Marc - 9, Dagundoro - 8, Velander 6

Rebounds (Off-Def) - Huskers 5-13, OU 2-10.
For OU, Blake Griffin has 7 points.
Oklahoma Tied a Devaney Center Record...
...for fewest points scored in a half by an opponent. Savannah State also scored 12 in the first half earlier this year...

Actually surprised it's not
considering how bubblicious OU is
by huskerlibrarian on Feb 27, 2008 8:12 PM CST up reply actions
35-20
news that Ryan Anderson has dislocated a pinky and has tape on both hands.
you'd think he wouldn't be able to play that way....
Not to mention
that he's everywhere...
Nice 3 by Anderson

A Great Job Eating Clock
We seem to devour about 30 of the 35 seconds every time we touch the ball

if
this type of defense is what we can look forward to from Doc Sadler's teams, I'm all for it.
It's just too bad they weren't playing with this kind of urgency earlier in the season.
Makes those 4 close/OT losses
Really hurt...but this is a young team that needed to take some licks.
Another long 3!

the one
that really sucks is the loss to CU early.

at
8:58, Ryan Anderson picks up his fourth foul, Huskers lead 50-29.
The Huskers win tonight, we'll move to 6-7 in the league, where there's a complete logjam.
sounds
like it's agetting a little sloppy.
I thought for sure that with Cookie Miller out that we'd suffer on offense.
Only 6 Turnovers?
Wow...that's an impressive half for a typical NU team, and that's for the game? Without our starting PG?
by huskerlibrarian on Feb 27, 2008 8:38 PM CST reply actions
good point
that is pretty darned good.
we're also out-rebounding them 29-21 total. I wouldn't have thought that either.
by Jon Johnston on Feb 27, 2008 8:43 PM CST up reply actions
Is Longar Longar playing tonight?
I don't think I've heard his name called all night.
by huskerlibrarian on Feb 27, 2008 8:44 PM CST up reply actions
yeah
he has two assists, anyway.
has missed all his shots, but 0/1 on FT's.
by Jon Johnston on Feb 27, 2008 8:46 PM CST up reply actions
But a non-factor on the boards
Finally found the live stats on Huskers.com
by huskerlibrarian on Feb 27, 2008 8:51 PM CST up reply actions
Over 50% Offensive FG%
and under 40% Defensive FG%...you don't lose a lot of games that way
by huskerlibrarian on Feb 27, 2008 8:54 PM CST reply actions
thanks
for stopping by.
It'll be interesting to see how we can finish out this season!
by Jon Johnston on Feb 27, 2008 8:56 PM CST up reply actions
This
was a great win.
OU averages 71 points a game, and we held them to 45 points.
Whooeee!
