  Mavs P3wnd By Weasels; Huskers by Zebras

  UNO's second round playoff series opened quite badly as Michigan blasted UNO 10-1 tonight. Sad thing is that the game might not have been that close; the top-ranked Weasels looked well-rested and dominated right from the start... and UNO looked like they had just finished that three overtime battle earlier in the afternoon. UNO needs to find a way to somehow win the next two, but there is at least a precedent for this. 10 years ago, UNO lost to then-#1 Maine on the road 11-0, then came back the next night to win 4-3.
  
  I should have paid more attention to the Husker basketball game against Kansas; they broke out to a nine point lead late in the first half, but Kansas came back strong in the second half. CornNation notes the discrepency in foul shots might have played a bit of a factor in this one. Looks like Kansas is well on their way to playing in Omaha's Creighton's NCAA regional next Thursday. BrieJay fan has hit a home run, since the value of those tickets will go up once the Beakers start planning their drive up I-29.
  
  In the meantime, if you are a local basketball masochist, check out NIT Bracketology. Seriously. Someone is actually tracking the teams for the NIT. Right now, Creighton is a 3 seed and Nebraska is a 7 seed. I think it's great for Nebraska that they can keep the season going, but it's still the NIT. The value isn't the tournament, it's the additional competition and practice time.
