Basketball Amid losing streak, Huskers need to keep grinding: "That's the bottom line"

"Just keep grinding, man. That's the bottom line. We just got to keep fighting, keep swinging," Fred Hoiberg said Tuesday before his team hosts USC at 8 p.m.

Hoiberg also mentioned his team is dealing with injuries to "a couple guys" but didn't say who. Something to watch.

Honestly, I know many were on the "Fire Fred train" at one point (and that's ok) but he's definitely made this team respectable and that's something we haven't seen for a while (Miles came pretty close).

The only thing that has me nervous is that dang @MSU game. Every other game has been good. Hopefully that was just an off night and the boys keep rolling.

@Iowa tonight is a big one. We need to pick up a couple on the road this year (not an easy thing to do)
