Is this the year? How do we match up with A&M? I think, obviously, if we are shooting well we’ve got a great chance.

Is anyone going? Will you guys drink lots if beers for me as the game starts 50 minutes after I start my call shift. If anyone is there and sees Turd will you punch him in his vagina?

As soon as I saw that both the men and women were playing A&M I knew that the simulation had taken over and that we are fucked.

I don't feel good about the games at all, but that might just be the pain of being kicked in the nuts as a Nebraska fan for the past 24 years talking. I'm basically a traumatized poodle who pisses on the floor when I hear the garage door open.

What's A&M path to winning? All I've really got is that they brutalize us on the offensive glass and have a bunch of second chances opportunities + Nebraska is cold shooting

Pretty even on paper:

They seem to get to the line quite a bit with their 2 guards, so we'll need to play clean defense and of course, hit the boards.

That’s about all I can come up with. To be completely truthful this might be the smallest team we play all year. They don’t go much bigger than 6ft7 at any given point.

Their size a recipe for a big game from Mast and Keisei/Gary getting a lot of shit at the rim which is a recipe for us to put it on them badly. You never know how guys will play under the lights but I'm not seeing an A&M win

They’re small, they don’t shoot the ball well, and they don’t defend the 3 very well either.

To be quite truthful this is a game where we could probably dust off the Indiana game plan and pack the paint and let them chuck it from the cheap seats.

It’s really hard for me to envision a team this small being better than a lot of big ten teams are on the glass. I’ve certainly been wrong before. But is this aTm team truly better on the glass than a night in the big ten?

They're a middling SEC team so my suspicious is they aren't.

Again, I may end up being very wrong. Tournament wins NEVER come easy. But to get our first ever win in the tournament, it doesn’t get any more perfect than this one given the matchups.

Keep them off the glass and you should win the game. I think it’s that simple.

If we can limit their offensive rebounding, I think we win. It's amazing to me how a team that's not that big, leads the nation in offensive rebounding ..
