A&M Will Face Nebraska In Second Round Of Big 12 Tournament

After Nebraska's upset of Missouri today, the Aggies will take on the #12 seed Huskers tomorrow at 2 PM in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament. The Aggies played Nebraska earlier this season, beating them at home in our first conference game, 64-53. Despite their 2-14 conference record, Nebraska is a solid team, and they are playing for the postseason lives right now, which makes them very, very dangerous. Nebraska's players know that if they lose, their season is over, so they can enter every game with a nothing-to-lose attitude, which makes them a tough out. I have a great deal of respect for Nebraska coach Doc Sadler, who I think is a terrific coach. I think he is struggling to recruit top talent to Nebraska, partly because of their reputation as a football school, and partly because they are not one of the top destinations in the Big 12 North for basketball. We will need to be on the top of our game tomorrow to knock Nebraska off. Usually, after an upset win, the winning team is emotionally and physically drained after the victory because of all of the energy they needed to expel to get the win, but this wasn't a close win. Nebraska won comfortably, 75-60, so I expect them to be primed and ready tomorrow. It should be a good game.

His friends say it was a constant reminder of why he was at U Conn _ to provide his family with a better life than the one he had in Miami's Little Haiti. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) link
