Nebraska is undefeated, ranked 10th, beat Illinois on a netural court, beat MSU, beat OSU at OSU... and Vegas thinks we'll beat them.
Not saying we will. But I'm glad we have a team that they think will. Could be a lot worse.
Having said that, I'm struggling to envision us effectively guarding all their spacing and movement (they're VERY consistent with theirs). And their bull of a point forward, husky white dude, is gonna be a matchup problem for us. I think Bailey is probably a pretty good cover for him, because he spends as much time on the perimeter as he does inside. But he will push Bailey around a little bit.
It'd be nice if Tucker found his stroke, tomorrow.

Tomorrow will come down to how we're shooting from outside.
Nebraska's entire game plan defensively seems to be to let/encourage teams shoot 3s. They rank near the 300s for 3 points attempts allowed per game.
Will be interesting.
We need an energetic and intimidating crowd.

At 11am the day after the football game that may not happen. Just going to have to likely play the best game of the season as Nebraska is no Penn State or Maryland
Putting a game the day after the CFP semifinal. What were they thinking.
