[Husker] Basketball on the go

[Bob Beach]

     I haven't seen much discussion on this.  Possibly people don't really care or don't see it as anything or maybe aren't aware of it.  NU is going to play a home regular season basketball game in Omaha this upcoming season.  I really have mixed emotions about it.  On one hand it seems fine for NU to play a game anywhere in the state of Nebraska and there are a lot of NU fans in Omaha.  I would guess there is a certain percentage of fans at the Devaney Center that come from Omaha.  It seems like a nice gesture and good PR move.  


     The other side of me doesn't care much for the idea of playing on Creighton's home court.  I understand and it is the Qwest Center and technically not Creighton's building it still is their home court.  To me it is still different than playing the game in Kearney or at another location in Omaha.  I also understand the need for that kind of facility and the Qwest Center and the Devaney Center are probably the only two places in the state it could be held.  If that is the case I might tend to keep it in Lincoln.  Like I said, I go back and forth.
