Nebraska and Texas play in a huge Big 12 game!


Texas has lost two in a row at home to Missouri and Kansas State. Not what you would call powers in college basketball. Texas is in a must win situation. Nebraska has won two in a row on the road against the bottom of the Big 12, Colorado and Texas Tech. Tomorrow Nebraska will be home.

The key players for Texas will be A.J. Abrams, Dexter Pittman, and Damion James. If all three of these players score 15 points or more, NU is in trouble. Gary Johnson could be their wildcard. Texas is loaded with talent.

Paul Velander, Ryan Anderson, and Ade Dagunduro are keys for Nebraska. They all have to score 15 points or more for NU to win. To NU's disadvantage, the score will be in the low 70's. Something like 72-71. Whichever team has those players score as stated above will pull out the close win.

Both need to win. Both need the win to advance to a different level in the Big 12. It should be a great game!

Matt Hill comes back to Lincoln to play to tomorrow. Hopefully he will get some time on the court. He is playing well defensively. He is getting better offensively. He could hurt Nebraska with his size if they let him get some playing time. By the way, Matt Hill is a cousin to Lance Thorell, who is a Nebraska football player.
