Of Course, Merle! Just Joshing, I KNOW you're 'Positively' ECSTATIC :happyrun:; And no one deserves it more than you, And all the other long-suffering Husker Hoops fans. :salute:

That Michigan State win was no fluke! The team was playing together as a cohesive unit; well-coached and with an excellent game plan. If someone went down, or was in foul trouble, others stepped up to fill the gaps.

Of course it won't last! There will be more bumps in the road and disappointments along the way; but just possibly we may be seeing the program beginning to turn the corner. When was the last time we saw the amount of raw talent wearing a Husker Uniform, all at the same time; and the talented players that are incoming or eligible to play next year?
Now Lets go Beat Michigan at 'The Vault." :shout:
