[Husker] Nebraska 76, South Dakota State 67

Probably the less said about this one, the better.  At least early on  this 
season, NU is showing the tendancy to play up-and-down, depending upon  their 
competition.  Up 17 at one point in the second half, couldn't put  away this 
team that wasn't very good.  
 
Grand Island's Wes Wilkinson continues to play well.  Unofficially, 17  
points and 10 rebounds.  He's averaging around 15 and 8 so far.  
 
This was a definite "tweener" game ... located on the schedule between UAB  
and Creighton.  Next up is the Creighton Bluejays on Sunday at the Qwest  
Center (1 p.m. tip off - televised on Nebraska Educational Television).   
Creighton's star, potential NBA-er Nate Funk is still out with an injury.   He won't 
play against NU.  Despite the way NU has played this year (up and  down 
inconsistency), if they win against Creighton, they'll be right on  schedule.  With 
Funk out, it'll be a big disappointment if they  don't.
