Yeah well, Glenn Watson Jr. will have his hands full with Marcus.

Excellent point!

No idea how many current @StJohnsU students follow me but we need you. Please come out, wear red, show school pride & support us in making the best home court environment possible. Please- huge opportunity ahead of us #SJUBB
To supplement attendance give as many local grade schools tickets gratis. At least they make noise in support of team.

BTW, ESPN's matchup predictor gives us a 74% chance of victory. That's not as high as KenPom, but I'm guessing both feel that CA gives us a huge edge. In a game like this, that is a definite possibility.

Per Redstorm Sports
"Nebraska comes to The Big Apple with two wins under its belt, having bested Eastern Illinois by four, 72-68, on Saturday before handing North Texas a 19-point loss, 86-67, on Monday. Four Cornhuskers are averaging double figures entering Thursday’s matchup, led by junior guard Glynn Watson Jr. at 18.0 points per game. Sophomore forward Isaiah Roby is averaging a double-double for Head Coach Tim Miles with 11.0 points and 10.0 rebounds through the team’s opening two outings."

Our speed and our three point shooting is where we have our advantage over Nebraska. They don't shoot the ball that well especially from 3 which is good because our three point shooting defense is still suspect so we could have a big advantage there. We do have to contend with their height so we will need to get something from Yakwe this game. Either from him Ali.

Judging by ticketmaster there will be another small crowd tonight.

Other than some furious begging from Matt A on twitter, there's been little done by the school to actually engage the student base to show up.
I feel like this is a huge game. Potential to help legitimize Mullin's philosophy of style and focus of player types, or set the tone for the season in a bad way with a loss because of mismatches that we will face all season. Kind of like Minnesota last season but less excuses in 3rd year with maturity and increased talent.
