What will the result of the game be?

  • Total voters
    19
  • Poll closed .
Last night was a great game to watch.  The D was smothering, causing a lot of turnovers, but it was a night where Michigan couldn't make a thing.  NU still has a long way to go, but I will take meaningful games in late January and February.  GBR!!!

 
In that 24 hour period from Thursday nite till Friday nite the stars aligned for these Nebraska colleges.

1. Hastings College beat #4 Briar Cliff

2. Nebraska beat #23 Michigan

3. Univ Nebr Kearney beat #1 NW Mo St

Something in the water?

The defense was as good as I have ever seen it. Guys played with awesome energy. Closed on the ball well. They did give up a few more easy layups than i would have liked but they shut down almost everything else. 

I loved the ground and the student section getting after Wagner. It was all in clean fun(from what I heard).

This is the team we all recognize as special. The team against Illinois is the one that makes us question Miles... Biggest difference was energy and interest in playing defense.

and like I said earlier, top 30 team with a better coach. Tim did a better job last night. Teams that are hot and cold like that can be easily linked back to coaching.

not going to take this away from them, though.. They are 3 games better than I predicted to this point.. Keep not going!

 
Illinois isn’t just a scrub team, in four conference games they were one shot away from the W, but I agree that the team has been too inconsistent. I’m hoping Jordy getting himself right is the catalyst to the team gel’ing and going on a run.

I’ll just say a one point loss to the best team in the league, a double digit smack down of your instate rival(second best team in the league) on its home court and a last second win against Maryland(who potentially finishes in four of the league) before traveling to lincoln is a little more daunting then playing Maryland and Illinois at home and going to Penn State in that same time span.

 
This was a good match up for NE, as Michigan does not have that big physical center.  And our defensive game plan was very good.   I agree that the beat down had something to do with how the schedule laid out,  but not the win itself.
