Steven M. Sipple: With NCAA Tournament talent comes increased responsibility for Miles

Crispin's comment grabs your attention in part because the 37-year-old, in his third season at BTN following a stint at ESPN, isn't merely riding a wave of fan emotion that accompanied Nebraska's 72-52 home win Thursday night against 23rd-ranked Michigan -- an eye-opening triumph for a variety of reasons, including the fact the Wolverines had beaten powerful Michigan State 82-72 five days prior.

Bottom line, Nebraska (14-7, 5-3 Big Ten) presents matchup problems for most opponents. In that regard, Crispin speaks glowingly of the lineup that Tim Miles has leaned on lately: Glynn Watson (6-foot), Anton Gill (6-3), James Palmer (6-6), Isaac Copeland (6-9) and Isaiah Roby (6-8) as the center.
