I'm not sure there is too much Kool-Aid.  I've got them going 8-6 the rest of the way, but 6 of those are tossups that I have Nebraska going 2-4 in so 10-4 is not completely out of the question.

You are completely underestimating a Tim Miles coached team.

Nebraska (11-6, 2-2 Big Ten) conclude a five-game gauntlet against Big Ten teams that reached the NCAA Tournament with Tuesday's game against the Badgers. The Huskers are coming off a 74-62 loss at No. 13 Purdue on Saturday. Nebraska held the Boilermakers to just 44 percent shooting after they entered the game 18th nationally in field goal percentage and 16th in scoring offense. The Huskers were hurt by 16 turnovers - the Huskers' highest total in over a month - which led to 19 Purdue points.

 

Despite the loss, the Huskers received another strong offensive performance from James Palmer Jr., who finished with a game-high 22 points and seven rebounds. Palmer led the Huskers and paces all Big Ten newcomers in scoring at 15.6 points per game. The 6-foot-6 guard has been in double figures in 16 of Nebraska's 17 contests and averaged 20.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in NU's two games last week.

 

NUMBERS TO KNOW

1.28 - Nebraska's assist-to-turnover ratio which is on pace to be NU's best in more than 20 years. No. Year Asst.-to-TO ratio

 

5.2 - Nebraska is one of the most improved 3-point shooting teams among power conference programs. As of Jan. 7, only four power conference teams have improved their 3-point shooting by at least five percent over last season.   

 

9.9- Anton Gill's 9.9 points per game leads all Big Ten players who have not started a game and is tied for fourth among all power conference players. 

 

70 - Nebraska is 11-1 when scoring 70 or more points and 0-5 when held to under 70 points.

theres your recipe tonight. Get 70 and get a W.

Let’s see how tonight got plays out.  This team has already shown a distinct level of awesomeness against some teams(ie St Johns, UCF)

 

If Tim lets the reins loose and lets the small line up run it could be a fun stretch.  But just as easily can see multiple eggs being laid

The good news is...Happ will have Jordy out of the game by the 15:00 mark...

Jordys hook shot is a thing of beauty

Thomas Allen needs more minutes. I think he could easily give us 8-10 points a game.

Wow an alley oop to Jordy. A sentence I did not expect to type in 2018.

File this under meh right now.  Bad long jumpers when they’ve proven the rim is there for the taking which led to surprise surprise a token scoring drought.  CANNOT let this Badger team hang around.

But we're shooting 11% on threes so there's that.
