Husker Hoops Game #13: Florida A&M Open Thread

Josh2005_tiny by huskerlibrarian on in Basketball Comment 74 comments

Florida A&M Rattlers @ Nebraska Cornhuskers


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.

Balham's getting some minutes and some offensive boards

His development is going to be HUGE if NU is going to mount any sort of run to the postseason
