Good Luck tonight

I agree, this should be a great game tonight! Vegas has Mississippi at -5 which seems about right...If this game was in Lincoln it would likely be Nebraska -5.  The fact that Nebraska is 2-8 on the road makes me a little nervous, but if we play to our full potential, we should pull out the W in a close game.  Our stingy Defense will need to come up big against a Miss. offense that averages 80 pts.  If we can keep the game in the 60's we should be alright.  Miss. leads the SEC in rebounding, Maric will need to be BIG tonight!  This game may come down to who is hotter beyond the arc.

Huskers 67  Miss  64

Well, MAYO....you hit it on the head!! Close enuff to push it into OT but not to finish and getter done....if the game was at the Devaney Center, I truly think we woulda rolled! DARN!!

Great job this year fellas! Only KU is left on the courts outta the BIG12, so to go out  2nd to last is pretty good! HA!! We defintely need some heighth here pretty soon.....like real soon.....anybody know how the recruiting class is looking?

Well we have a juco prospect named Robert Sallie that is coming in with all kinds of accolades and will have i believe 4 years to play 3.  He is a 6' 7" shooting guard and is hyped to be one of the best recruits NU has seen in years...many years.

We have Alonzo Edwards redshirting who is a pretty thick 6' 7" and then of course Shang Ping who i think is around 6' 10" or so, and Balham about the same but sketchy skills wise. 

So...yeah we'll be pretty undersized next year and will probably lose a lot of games from getting pounded down low but we'll also have a lot more talent than in years past and Sallie has the potential to be really great.

I was impressed by the way the Huskers showed composure on the road and stayed in that game.   Not to take anything away from Mississippi, they played a great game, but that was one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen.   There were blatant bad calls and no calls all game long.  I couple of them went in our favor, but the majority went against us.  You could tell Doc felt the same way.  I hate to say it changed the outcome of the game, but it did. 

As for next year, Ping at 6'10, is taller than most centers in the league/nation.  However, his skill/talent level is near the bottom.  He looks really uncoordinated out there and needs lots of work on his post play/shooting.  Balam on the other hand is very aggressive and has pretty decent skills.  He has shown a few spurts of really good play this year, however he is undersized for a center.
