This is the most talented Husker team I’ve seen since the one that won the NIT….better than that one even I think but baffling how they can play so good against Purdue then go stink it up against the #37 team in the Big Ten.
If I was a priest in the Temple of March Madness, I’d set up the possibility of Creighton against Nebraska playing in the second round on a neutral court in the West.
If we win out, are we a 6 or 7 seed? Someone explain why Creighton with the same record is a 3 or 4 seed? Are they a legacy like Pinto and Flounder of the Delta house and get an easy start?
I hope we switch out to the potentially hot shooter instead of just letting somebody throw up clunkers the whole game. This is my constructive negative post of the week.
We really need to try to win 4 of the remaining games. Let's give it the old college try!
We got called for more fouls than them this time.
Wish we could play like this on the road. You don’t have to shoot all threes… sometimes you can distribute the ball, make the extra pass, and get easy points that way.
No, you're right about that, but there's an obvious home court bias in the Big, including at the Pinochle. Slapped hands at crucial times are only called one way.
I think we should give it up for the hometown Big Ten refs....including our own. Everybody put your hands together for the homers! They're getting the job done! LET'S GO....REF!....POWER!.....REF!....POWER!!!
I think if we go .500 the rest of the way we'll be in like Flint, but I'm not counting no chickens the way we beat #1 in the country then lose to #43 in the Big Ten.
I've been critical of Coach Hoiberg but I think they've made some major improvements on defense and just the change alone of pulling Reink out to shoot the 3 and opening up the lane to Juwan and others makes for a much tougher offense to defend.
I still say the team is psycho though...how do you only score 51 on the road?
