Husker Hoops X-Factor vs. TA&M

[90sman]

Who/what will be the overlooked ingredient tomorrow night that will win/lose the game?

My vote is...Fred Hoiberg. There will not be a game all year that every team is more prepared for than their 1st tournament game. Teams need to be ready to play hard and focused, but also "loose" and confident.

Additionally, as both teams have been scouted thoroughly and game film scoured for every possible advantage, it is interesting to see what each team can throw at the other to take away their strengths, and then how each team can counter that.

Reputations are made and broken in March. Can Fred prove himself by having this team in the right mindset and by out-scheming the Aggies?

I'll go with Adam Howard and Nate Loenser. I think between the 2 of them they need to have the scouting locked down as far as establishing the defensive scheme. If Huskers are focused on defense, they win.

KT goes off for 30. The country goes wild. The rest is history.


.....or we come out flat and lose bad. either way seems possible.

I think he is a better coach than the AM guy. He is pretty overrated I think. I am influenced by AR people who hate him though.
