Well now, you’ve come to the right place if you’re lookin’ for a little bit of talk about the big basketball game between Kansas State Wildcats and Nebraska Cornhuskers comin’ up on December 17, 2023. This one’s gonna be a good’un, that’s for sure. Both teams got themselves a record of 8-2, which means they’re both pretty darn strong. Ain’t no slouches in this game, no sir. We got the Wildcats at home at the Bramlage Coliseum, and they’re hopin’ to keep that home court streak goin’. Nebraska’s gonna have to fight tooth and nail to pull this one out, I reckon.
The Wildcats, bless their hearts, have been on a roll lately, winin’ four games straight on their own turf. And you know how it is—when a team gets on a roll, they get real confident, like a rooster struttin’ around the yard thinkin’ it owns the place. But Nebraska, they ain’t no pushovers. They’ve got some good players, and if they can keep their heads about ’em, they might just surprise a few folks. Both teams been playin’ real solid this season, and neither one of ’em’s gonna wanna back down in front of a crowd.
Now, if we’re talkin’ chances, the folks who study all these numbers and stats, them so-called experts, say that Kansas State’s got a 63% chance of winnin’. Now, don’t go takin’ that number to the bank, but it sure sounds like the Wildcats got the edge here. But let me tell ya, these games can be full of surprises, like when you think you got a hen layin’ eggs but then she up and sits on ’em for a week instead. Anything can happen, especially when both teams are fightin’ for a chance to make it to the big NCAA Tournament.
So, what’s gonna matter most in this game? Well, it’s gonna come down to a few things. First off, both teams gotta keep their defense sharp, like a good ol’ hunting knife. If you let the other team score too easily, well, you’re just askin’ for trouble. Second, they gotta make them shots count. You don’t wanna be missin’ easy baskets, especially in a tight game like this one. And third, it’s all about the energy. You get a team that’s fired up and ready to go, they can sometimes outplay a team that’s just sittin’ back, relaxin’, and waitin’ for things to happen.
I tell ya, both teams are gonna be wantin’ this win, ‘cause they both got hopes for a big ol’ trip to the NCAA Tournament. If you’re askin’ me, I’d say Kansas State might just have a lil’ bit more on the ball when it comes to playin’ at home, and that might give ‘em the edge. But don’t go countin’ Nebraska out just yet. They’re a tough bunch, and they’ll fight ‘til the bitter end.
But no matter what happens, it’s gonna be a good game. That’s for sure. And if you’re sittin’ at home watchin’ it on TV, I reckon you better have your snacks ready, ‘cause it’s gonna be a close one!
