Big XII Tournament Day One Open Thread: Nebraska vs. Baylor
Baylor Bears at Nebraska Cornhuskers, Mar 11, 2009 11:30 AM CDT
Big XII Tournament, Opening Round
Ford Center, Oklahoma City, OK
Nebraska vs. Baylor, and other games
11:30 AM
TV: Big 12 Network (all games); Radio: Husker Sports Network (NU only)
Today is the day when some Big XII teams will fight to maintain what good karma they've accumulated and others will try for their last push for the Big Dance, the Little Dance, or even one of the side events. For some teams, this will be the last day of the season. Others will get to play on at least one more day. It's Conference Tournament time, and only 4 shopping days remain before Selection Sunday.
Nebraska plays Baylor to tip it off at 11:30, followed by Texas-Colorado at 2. The second session features OSU-ISU at 6, followed by A&M-Texas Tech at 8:30. This thread will be open for all 4 games, though we care more about the first one (for obvious reasons).
News: In a side note, the Hendricks family, native to Lincoln, has pledged $10M to a new basketball practice facility (which would pay for more than half the project). This is not only a huge donation, but it's also huge for a basketball-specific project.

question
to @Big12network twitter dude:
we’re down – are we not shooting well, turnovers, or what’s the deal with the huskers?

answer from twitter
@BretNellor @CornNation Baylor came out in 2-3 zone. We’ve struggled against it all season. Remember UMBC?
Bret Nellor runs a Husker basketball site.

Maybe Verlander
should chuck up some more 3’s? That seemed to be working well.
Well on second thought nothing else was working either.

Ouch.
It looks like Baylor may have finally decided it’s time to play. If that’s the case, they might just shock everyone.
Hope we can hold onto an NIT home game with this showing.
Ugh.
Got Corn?
