Ubel could play today!

Brandon Ubel did make the trip to Penn State. The game is at noon today. Nebraska is 9-9 and 0-5 in the conference. The Nittany Lions are 8-9 and 0-5 in the conference. Somebody is going to win their first conference game today. Ubel is key. He says he is at 80-85%. Ubel has been out for 11 days now with a fractured elbow.

The Nittany Lions also have some injury problems. Their point guard Tim Frazier was a returning first-team All-Big Ten pick. He accounted for 58% of last year's Penn State offense. He is out for the season aftern the fourth game with an achiilles tear.

It will be a hard fought game. Penn State is favored by 3 1/2 points.

Nebraska was led by Shavon Shields with 18 points and 8 rebounds in the last game. Penn State was led by Jermaine Marshall with 29 points and 10 rebounds in their last game.

Andre Almeida is ranked fifth in the Big 10 for blocked shots. Ray Gallegos is ranked 4th in the Big Ten in three-pointers.

Nebraska is rated 161st in the Pomeroy ratings. Penn State is 201st. If Ubel is healthy, Nebraska wins 57-54. If Ubels plays less than 20 minutes, Nebraska loses 60-59.

In football, Nebraska has four signees from Florida in all of Pelini's previous years and now in this recruiting class we have three signees. Nebraska received a commitment from Cethan Carter, a tight end out of Louisiana.
