Before this game I sat and talked with a real journalist and he explained to me the ramifications that tonight's game brought. He noted that, for this first time in a long time, both teams had a great deal riding on this game - a true rubber match that would add a great deal of weight to the resume of the winning team. Creighton, who sat in the top-40 in RPI, could've added a solid win if they beat a top 60 RPI Nebraska.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way.
In a strange turn of fate this game featured two majestic dongs; one by Nebraska's Scott Schreiber - a two run dong - and one by Nicky Lopez - a solo shot but good for the first of his career.
