Yikes.

 

[Omaha-Husker]

Well I am having trouble finding the reasoning behind that matchup.

 

[Minnesota_husker]

So there is one loss.

 

[Hedley Lamarr]

Nebraska for the win!

 

[Comish]

Is this in lieu of........or in addition to.........the Big 10/ACC challenge?

And we go on the road again......???

Well I am having trouble finding the reasoning behind that matchup.

The only guess I can fathom is that the matchups are 1st-10th, 2nd-9th, etc. and Nebraska is for whatever reason the 10th place team in this scenario.

 

[Husker no ka oi]

0-1 to start the season.

 

[Mavric]

Creighton's still on the schedule, right?

So apparently this is a thing.

I know this is after the fact but was this or was this not a conference challenge and if so why did we play the #11 team in the country I thought they tried to match equal teams up.

I apologize in advance for my basketball ignorance.
