Husker Hoops Game #13: Florida A&M Open Thread
Florida A&M Rattlers at Nebraska Cornhuskers, Jan 5, 2009 7:00 PM CST
Florida A&M Rattlers (2-9) at Nebraska Cornhuskers (9-3)
7 PM, Bob Devaney Sports Center
TV: None; Radio: Husker Sports Network (Affiliates, Sirius 127)
Webcast: Available on Huskers.com (video is pay site)
Tonight, the Huskers wrap up their MEAC slate (and the rest of their nonconference schedule) by hosting the Florida A&M Rattlers. The Rattlers have only 2 wins, but 6 of their 9 losses have come to Big XII and SEC opponents. Florida A&M had a close game with Texas A&M, losing by 10 when the Aggies hit 20 of 20 free throws.
This is Nebraska's final warm-up game before Big XII play starts. Missouri visits Lincoln Saturday afternoon at 1 (game is on ESPN2). Over the next few days, I'll be looking at the rest of the Big XII and how they've looked thus far. I'm also preparing my first-ever bracket projection, which I plan to post Wednesday.
