Nebraska men's basketball is much improved!

The Nebraska men's basketball team is much improved and has a very good chance to go to the NCAA tournament this year. To do that they must go 8-8 in conference play and win a game or two at the Big 12 tournament. They should be able to do that.

Tomorrow they face a buzz saw. They'll probably be in the game for quite a while but this will be their biggest loss of the year. Kansas 70 Nebraska 59.

NU has a couple of good players in Jeter and Diaz. They have ten more players who can play well. They just have to find the right combination for each game/each matchup. Each win may have a different hero; no superstars, just a lot of players that play hard team ball. That's why they will be better this year.

The other factor, and I have mentioned this for years, is the Nebraska connection is so important. Drake Beranek shows what the Nebraska work ethic is all about. We have to get a couple of very good Nebraska kids on the team for the future also. We have Mike Fox from Beatrice but who can step up and get a lot of playing time?
