Impressive streaks collide as Huskers try to defend home court against invading Spartans

Nebraska forward Isaiah Roby (15) goes up for a dunk against Illinois at Pinnacle Bank Arena last month.

They're the plays Nebraska makes to take the juice out of an opponent's crowd when the Huskers are playing on the road. NU made all kinds of them Monday night at Indiana.

Thursday, with Michigan State coming to town and a roiling Pinnacle Bank Arena crowd that will be ready to explode at the first sign of Husker success, Roby would like to see those silencers become the spark that lights another fire-breathing mass of humanity in PBA's stands.
