Missed that. After the complete disaster of yesterday's Husker effort I didn't watch any Hoops after I got home & haven't gotten to read much of the paper yet today.

Haha...I know how that goes.

 

The illini top 3 scorers are all underclassmen...so they could turn a corner.

Nebraska (12-7, 3-6  NET: 25, SOS: 67): At the risk of beating this horse into a vaguely horse-shaped pulp, you really do have to marvel at the difference between last season and this one, especially for Nebraska. The Cornhuskers have lost their last three games, are 12-7 overall and sit 3-6 in the Big Ten, and we’re genuinely not all that concerned. This time last year, they were 14-7 (5-3), had won seven of their last nine, and had most recently downed Michigan, and their tournament odds were long at best. A huge part of this is Nebraska’s work in the nonconference (and the lack of bad losses, a la last year), but it’s not like these Huskers boast some Duke-level list of non-league triumphs. The league is just so much better.

Most of these predictions are "as of now"...if they lose this weekend at Illinois I think you will see major changes in the predictions.

 

I mostly posted that because I would like to watch a Nebraska/Duke game :lol:
