Nebrasketball Game #22- @ Michigan: Tuesday, February 1 8pm BTN

Huskers hit the road to take on the Wolverines, who beat the Huskers by 30 in Lincoln earlier this season

NW just took them to the wire and actually outplayed them in the 2nd half last week and then they got embarrassed by little brother this weekend. They may take it out on us or they might be a little fragile.

Expecting a bad loss so hopefully I’ll end up surprised.

I think Michigan is just about to quit on the regular season and then maybe get some life back in the BTT.

If they lose at home to NU, they will flat out quit.  They still have a good 6 losses left on that schedule.

Michigan -14.5

Well the Huskers ranking dropped from #169 to #183 over at Kenpom.  The good news is their adjusted SOS is 34th toughest.  It's been no cake walk for sure.  The bad news, it was 28th before Rutgers.

Ugly so far which is good for us.  See if we can carry any momentum after the timeout from the Walker dunk.

 

[RavHuskr]

Thought we were going to give up our lead before half but great fortitude to keep a good lead going into half.

 

[Wistrom Disciple]

Not surprising why Big Ten teams struggle in the NCAA tournament. The officiating make good, quality basketball next to impossible with their insistence on being a part of the game and typically having lopsided foul calls nearly every game. No teams can create flow or a pace to the game and instead nearly every possession is a poor shot in the appeal to get a foul call and free throws.

Another example of the Big Ten being disappointing.

Aparently Michigan complained at halftime that the foul calls were to even in ghe first half.

 

[Big red surfers]

Nebraska patent scoring drought. Out scored 18-3…edit 20-3in the last 6 mins Classic huskers 

 

[RavHuskr]

Great response and McGowens is definitely starting to round into a first round NBA talent by the way he is asserting himself on the offensive end and much better shot selection.  Very efficient.
