should make Nebraska a definite NCAA tourney lock if it hasn't been already. What a great run by Tim Miles and the Cornhuskers. They proved that they deserved to be a #4 seed in the B1G tourney.  Should be a tough game for Michigan in the semi-final!

I don't know about you guys but the Nebraska game is so full of turnovers and fouls that it's nearly unwatchable.

Dont get why Neb is a "bubble team" - they are the hottest team in the Big 10 not named Michigan (or Illinois).  If they are a 10 seed I would want ZERO to do with them as a 6.  They are on fire and confident as heck.  Just punched Wiscy the "#1 seed" by ESPN fan boys in the face.

Nebraska!!

even w/ the 3-pt. shooting, I think we'll do better against 'em.

And it'd make for a better match -- co-COY's squaring off.

In any case love to see OSU lose!

I'm torn.

I never like watching OSU win, and I always enjoy an OSU loss.

I think NEB would give us more of a challange than OSU.

It would be much more fun to beat OSU than to beat NEB.

I think I want NEB to win here, but I am conflicted.  Hold me.

How is it that the refs are calling an obscene number of fouls and yet Craft, who plays hyper-aggressive defense, only has one foul?  That is my biggest beef with basketball officiating.  It doesn't matter what is done, what matters is which player does it.  If you have a reputation as a good defender, then your fouls are just "good (or gritty, if you prefer) defensive plays."

This is tough to watch.  Not all Miles fault, but he's really put his team in a terrible place this half with a lack of inbounds plays, or any play in general on offense.
