Stumble UponFive Keys to surviving the slightly-less-scary Octogon of Doom and beating Kansas State in Manhattan. Which is a real rarity for Husker hoops. Planes, Trains and Automobiles: If it takes all three to get center Jorge Brian Diaz to Manhattan a few hours before tip-off, so be it. Diaz has a favorable matchups against KSU's diminished front line, which has had two players quit in the last month. He could get three or four easy baskets whether he has a good scouting report or not. Play smarter than K-State does hard: If and when the Wildcats go in the tank and quit, it'll be seen in mental errors, rushed shots and over-aggressive defense. NU has to expect an early burst of energy from a KSU team in desperate need of a win. But once that initial wave of motivation wears off, the Huskers have to be ready to execute and fluster the Cats' chuck-and-duck offensive philosophy. Bramlage Special: Because of its lighting and shape, Kansas State's arena could the Big 12's toughest in which to shoot. But in each of Doc Sadler's games there, the Huskers have had someone – usually Ryan Anderson – light it up from deep. Our bet for Wednesday? Brandon Richardson or Caleb Walker. Find the shooters: Leading scorer Jacob Pullen (18 points per game) will get his. He's tough to stop for 40 minutes. But K-State's two best wing shooters – Rodney McGruder and Will Spradling – have combined to make 71 3-pointers. Nebraska may have the nation's best interior defense, the way the Huskers collapse on frontcourt scorers. Guards just can't lose these two guys. Grind: Kansas State is the equivalent of an extrovert: It gains energy from good offense. If Nebraska can take away that good vibe, KSU gets sloppy and irritated on defense, resorting to bad footwork and fouls. NU has to make the Wildcats work for their points.
At the 18:32 mark of the 1st half, we will see our first
