for the huskers hoops in the big 10. minimal scholarship players and basically a team made up of mostly scrubs that work their tails off. again, going to be an ugly season but I will still tune in when they decide to televise the big red...
beating Valpo would be decent tonight but I am not holding my breath...

Over/under 2 big ten wins?
i'd like to see the odds on zero wins
Being a PSU hoops fan, I know that feeling (not necessarily this season since I think PSU will at least be respectable). But the Big Ten is a tough hill to climb (especially this year) when trying to build a program. Don't know about you, but I get every conference game at this point between CBS/ESPN family/BTN (not sure if that's good news or bad news for you
PSU should most certainly be respectable. their talent level surpasses that of this current husker team by an ungodly amount but like you said its rebuilding time although unfortunately they have been trying to build, not 're'build, for a long time. Bring back Danny Nee
local kid from omaha heading to Louisville and never considered the thought of going down to Lincoln and why should he....
After seeing Auburn, I'd consider laying double digits if Georgia played them tomorrow.
It hasn't always been creighton. go back some years and the huskers had some decent teams. Im a fan of the jays as well though. absolute great time going to their games - capacity crowds for all home games. was worried about them in the 1H last night but they fired back in the 2H.
last year I believe they were a tough cover at home in alot of situations but I would have to go back and look. their totals when playing at home are brutally minimized but they hit the road last year and tried to run/score at a rapid pace as they thought that was there only chance of keeping it close. we'll see how things go this year. You will get as good an effort out of these players as any team out there but the talent is so far below that they will lose over 90% of their big ten games. they will give some teams some fits though again with their effort and energy.
i wouldn't just blindly bet against them in big 10 play though as the lines will certainly be adjusted accordingly...
Danny Nee!!! hahaha We can only hope Miles stays around as long (which is pretty rare these days unless you're at an elite program).
We're definitely going to struggle this year, but I'm encouraged for the future. Miles is a good coach and he's already recruiting better than anyone we've had. It can't be easy to get kids to come to Nebraska - I sure as hell don't want to be back in the cold.
thats unfortunate Tommy and sadly you may have to join the cellar with the big red.
Sorry to hear that, did the commentators actually say "down goes Frazier"....for the younger ones on here that's the infamous line when Ali knocked down Joe Frazier, can't assume anything anymore these days lol...
