Nebraska is home today and in a must win game with Minnesota. Minnesota is 16-7 and 4-6 in conference play. Nebraska is 11-10 overall and 3-7 in the league. Of course Minnesota is still thinking the NCAA tournament so they aren't going to lay down for us.
Minnesota's Tubby Smith is one of the best coaches in the nation. They need a facilities upgrade in Minnesota so you can bet they will be touring the great facilities that Nebraska now has.
Ralph Sampson III plays for Minnesota. remember Ralph Sampson? He is 6'11". Also playing for Minnesota is Elliott Eliason from Chadron. He is averaging two points per game and four rebounds. He is a pretty good spot player.
Minnesota has five of their last seven games at home and have a good chance of making the NCAA tournament. This is a must game for them as previously mentioned.
This will be close to the end.
Nebraska 66 Minnesota 62
Some more about recruiting for the football program.
Paul Thurston is an offensive lineman from Colorado. One of his assistant coaches at Arcade West High School was former NU center Matt Baldwin. 247Sports ranked Thurston as the 92nd ranked offensive lineman in the country. He was rated as the 26th best tackle in the nation and the No. 2 overall player out of Colorado.
Thurston played tackle in high school. He is known for his mean streak. He is a son of a minister and was home schooled. Oregon and Michigan were after him also. He had other offers including Notre Dame.
Thurston could be a redshirt this fall but in years to come he looks like a good one.
