I'm interested as well...
Can't find it anywhere so far... ESPN says it's on 360 but it's not listed.

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

And my girlfriend will be in attendance on the couch.
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.

well
hope we can win this one. i will be watching the espn box score.

I can't get the game either
Grrrr...
Just got a text from AW: says the Drum is totally empty.

The game is on ch 54 in Austin
FSN. There's also Craig Way of course on the radio.

Johnson, Chaps in the game real early
GJ gets great post position but passes for some reason to Chaps who misses the J.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 6:42 PM CST 0 recs
What else is new?
Chap wide open to finish but completely misses the pass.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 6:43 PM CST 0 recs
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.

Lewis fouls someone shooting a three
And then the guy makes it on top of that. WTF is going on? It's like we're watching Texas from 2 months ago.
Down 10-3 early.

NU not shooting good.
Except for DJ, we're a floor of dead men.

i'm not getting the game but looking at the scoreboard i'm assuming we're not playing very well
by clra2 on Mar 4, 2008 6:51 PM CST 0 recs
are we really THAT cold..
or is the espn gametracker spazzing out.

Nash to Amare
Oh wait never mind... that was DJ to James.

Great pass by DJ
DJ is the only one that came ready to play...
by UTAth on Mar 4, 2008 6:52 PM CST 0 recs
We've been jacking threes
since the first whistle.
Nice play by James to draw the foul, though.
MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS!

WOW
James misses 2nd FT but Mason rebounds, hands it off to James for the MASSIVE throw down.

your yahoo stat line says
11:44 Texas - Damion James dunks the ball

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.

Plus the caucuses at 7:15.
I'm leaving now.
Y'all guide them through this.

UT on a 11-2 run.

Is Augustin a better shooter than AJ?
Or does he just take better shots?
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.

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.

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.

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.

I hate this guy.
by Horn Brain on Mar 4, 2008 7:22 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.

Okla St.
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.

It will be over in Austin on Sunday. OSU can get six in a row for all I care, seven ain't gonna happen.

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.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 7:37 PM CST 0 recs
Some more sloppiness
But it's still a 12 pt game.

good defense
by Nebraska, and getting some threes to fall.
texas went a little cold, but has hit two threes in a row for a six point lead.
site went down for a bit.

stuck watching the OSU/Purdue game as well...
as I'm watching the ESPN gamecast and following here. Very hard to watch the lead disappear without knowing what's up!

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.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 4, 2008 8:16 PM CST 0 recs
This game is eerily resembling
the Wisconsin game. NU is also without their best guard. Hopefully we don't choke like last time. AJ makes your FTs.
Connor with 5 blocks today. Just wish he could give us more on offense.

DJ misses
Atchley fouled by Maric on the rebound
by longhorn00 on Mar 4, 2008 8:19 PM CST 0 recs
We're fronting Maric
and that strategy is failing horribly.

What the hell. So far I have seen a stagnant offense with a terribley conceived defense (fronting a post guy at 10 feet). Has it been this bad the whole time.
