I've been following Nebraska men's basketball for 50 years. I am not sure if I have ever felt that Nebraska has no chance to win a game but the feeling is there. Without Jorge Brian Diaz Nebraska is 0-8 and probably won't win another game this year. Two injuries have put Nebraska in a helpless situation. Injuries to Eric Almeida and Diaz, the big boys leaves us with nobody underneath that can score.
Nebraska is now rated 155 and wow just two weeks ago they were working ranks when Diaz showed up and played a few games. He has a painful foot injury and probably won't be back this year or maybe never for Nebraska. Sad case. Nebraska has nobody to take his place.
I wish the Huskers and Doc the best but........
Jeremy Lin has come out of nowhere to be a NBA sensation. He graduated from Harvard. This season Lin was waived by Golden State in December after splitting last season between the Warriors and the NBA Development League. Houston picked him up for a couple of weeks before cutting him and the Knicks decided to give him a look.
Lin scored 38 points Friday night to lead the Knicks over the Lakers. After scoring 28 and 23 points in his first two starts, he outplayed Kobe Bryant in front of a national TV audience. Lin has created a new ambition to watch NBA basketball. I think Lin is the real deal but how did all the other teams not see it before?
Missouri was rated fourth and Baylor rated sixth in the nation. Missouri beat Baylor 72-57 Saturday to go to 23-2. Maybe Missouri's beat team ever.
Michigan St knocked off Ohio State at Columbus 58-48 this weekend. The Buckeye's had not been beat at home in 39 straight games. That's a big victory for the Spartans.
Kasey Kahne has replaced Mark Martin in the No. 5 car for Hendricks. Kahne just had knee surgery but shouldn't miss any time in the car.
