25th ranked Terps visit the vault as 1.5 dog

[scarletred]

Huskers try to continue their winning ways with 4 games in a row.

Maryland has won 5 of their last 6 games including beating Nebraska last month. Terps are 8-5 in the standings..

Big Résumé game for the Huskers tonight, should be an outstanding game.

Terps by 10 unfortunately.

The pessimist in me says, it's time to lose. If this game was on the road, I'd say it's a sure bet loss. But being at home evens the playing field for us. Big game as this was one that I have had chalked up as a loss. This win would go a long ways towards getting into the dance.

Another great opportunity tonight. A win means NU can start working on their seed in the tournament; a loss means NU probably needs to find 4 wins in their 6.

With Berk out thinking Fred has to go small ball, at least 15 from Conner to have a chance.

Connor is good for 15, sometimes. Other times its low, single digits. Need more consistency from him down the stretch of the season to take the pressure off Williams and Gary, particularly with Berke on the shelf.

A lot of his variability is how much PT he gets. I would like to see him play more.

If we get ahead, he plays less. If we get behind, he plays more.

No... 19 is the magic number

19 means 6 quad 1 wins and as I mentioned in multiple other basketball threads. No team has ever been left out of the NCAA tournament with 6 quad 1 wins

If we shoot well we win. We can't go 4-22 from 3 and beat this team.

Maryland - Pick Em (Without Berke I am leaning Maryland, but being at home and the crowd evens my thoughts.)

@Northwestern - Pick Em (If we beat Maryland I see this being an L. If we lose to Maryland I see this as a W)

@Penn St - Pick Em (This one depends on if Penn State comes to play or not)

Michigan - Pick Em (Have a feeling this is going to feel like No sit Sunday and we sqeak out a win

Minnesota - Must Win (Easiest game we could ask for in this conference)

@Ohio State - By far our toughest game left. Give us maybe 30% chanc3

Iowa - Must win (If we don't win this game you might as well keep us out of the tournament, because I can't even think about how crappy the moral will be for this team)

If I was to bet our W's

Maryland - L
@Northwestern - W
@Penn State - W
Michigan - W (This puts us in the Tournament)
Minnesota - W
@Ohio State - L
Iowa - W

Good analysis. I just hope we get Berke back soon and he's close to full go. I never thought I'd say that a month ago, but he's really become an important piece. My hopes for the rest of the schedule really take a hit if he's out 2+ weeks.

Michigan is the only game I’m not confident winning at home the rest of the way.

This quote of Hoiberg from Wilson Moore of the World Herald should excite many of us:

The third center in a potential small-ball lineup is Cale Jacobsen.
A 6-foot-4 guard by trade, Jacobsen doesn’t fit the prototype of a Big Ten post but has enough awareness and savvy for Hoiberg to trust him.

“He just knows everything so well,” Hoiberg said. “He knows the system.”

I don't care how savvy Cale is. He doesn't match up with a 6'9+ post. If we are in this position in any game we are in trouble.

i promise not to look at the score until after the game. I don't get to watch much basketball, but anytime i try to look at scores throughout we lose.

We really should win the NW and PSU games. NW is down two starters, including their best player. PSU has been getting blasted left and right of late.
