Husker Librarian's Preview:
Regular Season Meetings:
- Jan. 30: Nebraska 66, @Missouri 62;
- Feb. 13: Missouri 86, @Nebraska 78 (OT)
Nebraska's played extremely well since losing to Mizzou in February. Missouri has been horribly inconsistent down the stretch, since losing leading scorer Stephon Hannah following the barfight just before the first NU-MU game in January. In Lincoln, Nebraska went scoreless at the end of the first half, and missed several key free throws in the second half. These teams are fairly well-matched, so it should be a tight game. Both teams really need a win to feel safe about an NIT berth, though the loser may still be safe from CBI-land. The winner gets the worst prize ever -- a second-round matchup with KU.
- Prediction: Nebraska, 66-65. - Winner plays: #2 Kansas, 6:00 PM Friday, ESPN+
- If we win we get to play Kansas. Instead of looking at that with a negative perspective - look at it this way - it's a great measuring stick to see where this Nebraska team is from the beginning of the Big 12 to the end. Did we grow? Are we better? A coach couldn't ask for a better setup - but first we have to get there.

Almost game time...
Two great games this morning. OSU 76, TTU 72 and CU 91, BU 84 (2OT) in a shocker.
Announcers are talking like we're still on the bubble...I suppose if we can reach the finals, I could see it.
Go Huskers!

6-4 NU w/ 14:51 left in 1st half
Maric has all 6 Husker points so far. Lots and lots of missed shots.

scoring is picking up
how does Cookie Miller look?

holy crap
this is an ugly game.
It'll be close because no one can score.
Although it sounds like Chris Balham is playing well.... damn foul shots.

i wonder
what the lowest half total for points record is for the Big 12 tourney.

Cookie didn't start...
but has been pretty good since he came in.
18-17 NU

Mizzou on 13-2 run.
25-20 Missouri.

holy crap
lots of TO's, poor shooting outside, you'd think that the Texas game would have given them some confidence about shooting three's.

30-28 NU at Half...
Great shot by Harley at the end of the half.

good grief
everybody scores with less than five seconds left in the half...
up two at the half, but the FT's are horrible, too many TO's, haven't made a three.
gag.

Hopefully
it won't be like the 2nd half of this afternoon's Colorado-Baylor game. CU blew a 15-point lead in the second half because Baylor kept fouling every play & CU couldn't hit a FT.

Looks like there won't be a 3-peat
In other news, Florida is losing 31-5 to Alabama in the first round of the SEC tournament. Yikes.

were the three's that were in by Anderson and Harley that far down the hole like the announcers said?

Not sure...
DVR's not working right, or I'd take another look.

FT's
Maric is going to need to hit his FT's to finish this game out.
four in a row.... keep it up.

Good D and ball control
Is going to be important, too. Can't step on the sideline anymore.
Good putback by Maric there.

The interesting thing...
...is that the local TV station is about 10 seconds ahead of Pavelka on the Host broadcast. Usually it's the other way around...

maybe
this was our crappy game - maybe next game we can knock down some three's. or they'll be looking past us.
or they'll all have the flu.

This sloppy play
May cut it against Missouri, but it won't against KU. And Kansas will force us to make more mistakes than Mizzou did. We'll need to hit the free throws and not make any unforced mistakes to win.

you want to do a preview, I'll make sure the diary promotion gets fixed.
