I'm interested as well...

Can't find it anywhere so far... ESPN says it's on 360 but it's not listed.

think they only carry espn?

Does raptorsnation and channelsurfing only carry games on espn full court?

Goodnight, Nebraska, thanks for coming!

Wow that was easy

How do we let Maric get that open?

We're already settling for threes. Open threes I guess, but they're not falling.

Johnson, Chaps in the game real early

GJ gets great post position but passes for some reason to Chaps who misses the J.

Chap wide open to finish but completely misses the pass.

Wow now Lewis is in the game

Something tells me Barnes isn't happy with our early effort. Lewis/Chaps getting early time. Might as well put in Dexter.

One reason why Drum is probably empty

Since spring break is next week, all the professors decided to schedule their exams for this week. Everyone is at the library.

Ironically, the Drum would be a great place to study considering how quiet it is.

Is Augustin a better shooter than AJ?

Or does he just take better shots?

Go boom, mothers. Please, just go boom.

by Horn Brain on Mar 4, 2008 7:02 PM CST   0 recs

I'll go with the ladder

I think AJ is definitely a better spot up shooter, but DJ can make some crazy ass shots.

In a three point contest, I'd go with AJ.

by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 7:03 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

DJ has more open shots

AJ is the more pure shooter.  DJ isn't behind by much though, which is impressive considering his averaging 6+ assists per game.

Johnson with the easy hook

Despite a sloppy start, we only have 1 turnover all game.

We need to keep feeding GJ. That was ridiculously easy.

by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 7:07 PM CST   0 recs

Wow... AJ missed FTs already

Missed 2, and last one was front end of a 1 and 1.

by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 7:08 PM CST   0 recs

I hope we keep going inside

If we don't establish a solid inside game again before the Big XII championship and NCAAs, we're going to be playing catch up the majority of the games we play.

by UTAth on Mar 4, 2008 7:08 PM CST   0 recs

LOL Johnson

Makes FT and goes back to play D when he was supposed to shoot another FT. I guess that's what happens when you're so used to missing them

by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 7:10 PM CST   0 recs

There you go NU

keep shooting threes. That last three hit the top of the backboard... and he was open.

by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 7:11 PM CST   0 recs

Another sick shot by DJ

He's really mastered that fall away J from the baseline.

29-20 Texas. Timeout Nebraska.

by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 7:12 PM CST   0 recs

Really difficult shot

I doubt many people watching appreciate just how tough that shot was.  They need to start running the offense and getting it inside.  They might as well practice running some actual half court plays instead of relying on DJ every trip down the floor.

by UTAth on Mar 4, 2008 7:15 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Dexy in the game

Another timeout by NU because we've ran off two consecutive fast breaks off steals. First one was a James dunk and then a DJ layup.

33-20 with 3:04 left.

by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 7:17 PM CST   0 recs

We

are really missing our starting point guard.

Let's face it, we're not a great basketball team, but Doc Sadler may be capable of building a decent bball program.

But, man, we're discombobulated at times.

Every Big XII team...

has looked discombobulated this year at one point in the season.  From what the commentators are saying, Barnes was really praising Doc today so your program is well on its way to being competitive every game.  The Husker defense looks pretty solid most of the time.

38-25 at halftime

DJ and James with 14 each.

by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 7:24 PM CST   0 recs

I really like...

...the aggressive D as the half progressed.  I think we are forcing them to take a lot of 3's, which you can tell the Huskers don't like and aren't good at.  Furthermore, we're pressuring the ball more, and it's getting tougher for them to get the ball inside to Maric.

If the horns keep it up, we should be able to win going away.  We need a good solid win to get things rolling again leading into the big 12 tourney.

by junglerules on Mar 4, 2008 7:30 PM CST   0 recs

we have

a really young team. Maric is the only senior, and I think these guys struggle at time figuring out if they're going to step up and score or try to let someone else do it.

You saw that indecision in the two three's that were complete bombs, including the one that went off the top of the backboard.

It's gotten better as the season has gone along, but obviously still a problem on the road.

If they beat OU at home tomorrow, they will be on a 6 game winning streak in the Big 12. From 2-7 to 8-7 in conference. The streak includes wins over Baylor, @ A&M, and Kansas.

Can't complain about the game now

But I don't like getting off to a sluggish start. What if this happens in the tourney, and the other team has full momentum and continues to pull away? We can't afford to be in comeback mode all game.

Hey the site's working now

Can Connor stop moving on picks?

Man they really need to move that 3pt line back to the NBA range. This game is so ugly and both teams are just trying to go for the three ball. I'd like to see actual basketball and set plays that get open jumpers or layups.
