Husker Hoops Game #17: NU at #5 Oklahoma Open Game Thread

Nebraska Cornhuskers at Oklahoma Sooners, Jan 21, 2009 8:00 PM CST


Nebraska Cornhuskers (12-4, 2-1) at #5/6 Oklahoma Sooners (17-1, 3-0)

Lloyd Noble Center, Norman, OK, 8:05 PM

TV: ESPNU; Radio: Husker Sports Network

Opponent's Blog: Crimson and Cream Machine

Tonight, Nebraska travels to Norman, OK to play the toughest opponent they'll face all season in the 5th- and 6th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners.  With no proven big man to defend All-World Center Blake Griffin, a win tonight would be a tall order indeed.  If they do find a way to win, this could be a chance to turn the tide towards an outside chance at a postseason berth.

The bigger question for NU tonight is going to be what of Brian Diaz (he's Jorge Brian, but apparently goes by Brian)?  The scuttlebut on the radio is that he's going to play.  If he's planning on playing this year, it makes sense that he's playing tonight, although it seems like an awfully short time to make a decision.

The game is televised nationally on ESPNU, and is the sort of game where NU has laid a big egg at this point in the season.  Maybe, just maybe, it's time for a breakthrough game.

My Guess...

Is going to be both somewhere between 1 and 7…but not sure exactly where without researching the other top contenders

Huh?

Was there a score there or a travel? the announcers called both!

by huskerlibrarian on Jan 21, 2009 9:48 PM CST reply actions  

Well since it was a shot it was a rebound

If it had been at like half court, travel.

I think it was that student who said travel.

I don't

know. I’m not paying much attention to them.

I have a feeling that OU is really up about 25 points, but the students have the score wrong.

these guys are getting pretty sparky.

OU dribbles it out

What a good game by the Huskers, keeping this game tight up to the end. Wish we could have hit a shot the last 10 minutes…

72-61 OU final.

once again, the offensive drought killed us.

maybe more maturity will get rid of that, you think?

You guys can beat Oklahoma St.

They basically have five guards that play and no inside. Right now Missouri is up on them 94-83 with get this 3 minutes to go.

Way I see it

After the loss tonight, the TBoonesU game now becomes the most pivotal game of the season. IMO, it’s the swing game. It’s an even matchup, and the winner salvages at least one game from this week. In addition, if NU wins, they’d go back above .500, while if TBoones win, they’d get back TO .500.

Nebraska Football: Five National Championships, 3 Heismans, 46 conference championships, the nation's leader in Academic All-Americans. Quite simply, a winning tradition.
