Who is going to the game? i don't live in the state anymore, but I'd be there losing my voice tonight if I did. 3-0 to start conference would be huge; losing a game to the team with currently the worst RPI in the conference, at home, would be equally as huge, in a bad way. Need to keep the positive mojo going. We would then have a very winnable game against a decent, but very beatable Northwestern team with a decent RPI at the moment (46). It could reasonably push our RPI into the mid to low 30s if we win both.
Personally I like our chances a lot. We tend to have good focus defensively on the perimeter most of the time (not withstanding that Maryland kid lighting us up) and Jok is almost a one man show. I think we can limit his damage and match up resonably well defensively with either Webster or Taylor. The rest of their team might be younger than us. They've played 2 true road games and lost both by double digits.
I'm predicting Nebraska comes out ready to rock and wins by 8ish, 79-71.
