I saw the replay on BTN last night. One heck of a game, instant classic.
Huskers swept Notre Dame in front of 7,386 at the Clink today.

I also saw that, me thinks that vote came from La La Land.

Also, Dayton has beat both Illinois and Pepperdine to jump from 28th to 11th. They beat former#7 Illinois 14, 17, 21.

Unfortunately they had to go off and lose to Ohio State... so they basically gained no ground over the weekend.

Nice win last night at the Clink.  NU seems to sometime lose focus this year after a big one.  Hopefully not tonight.
