Hoiskers visit Evanston as 2 point favorite

NW is 4-10 in conference play and 2-5 in their last 7 games..

Berke is mostly out again today against the Wildcats.
No question this is a must road win today.
None of the wins are a must win unless we lose this one and Penn State both then Michigan becomes a must win. Although this game offsets the loss to Maryland, it is not a "must win". I will be big for the resume, but Minnesota and Iowa are the only losses that would extremely be a knock on our resume

Respectfully Disagree, we have 4 must wins, today, Penn St, Minnesota and Clarkeyes and that also gets us to a 20 win season.

And I will say this for the 4th time on this board

No team with 6 or more quad 1 wins has been left out of the tournament. So 3 is most likely getting us in, but 20 will all but make it a guarantee, but 19 gives us and 80%+ shot

This could be the best chance to get that 6th Quad 1 win. PSU is no longer a Q1, so it's either this one or Michigan at PBA or OSU on the road. UCLA and Ohio State are on the lower end of Q1, so they need to win enough to stay there. UCLA is likely to stay Q1, but OSU could slide out of the top 30, given their schedule.

The other think to watch is where NU sits in the conference standings. You want to finish in the top 9 for sure. That gets you at least one bye in the B1G tournament. There will be nothing gained by having to play that first day.

Husker hoops history seems to dictate make the resume bulletproof. Get to 20 wins and add in the quad 1 win total of 6.

I hear about 6 quad 1 wins is a lock. There is always the first time, so let that be another program.
Plus we need wins. We need confidence and we need the best seed we can get 🙏
 
Time to shove these nerds back in their lockers and head to happy valley…

Since I'm here alone, I'll just keep going - Why TF does Sam always dribble under the basket, pick up his dribble, and have no clue what do do from there?

Sam is a great situational jolt-off-the-bench piece. As a starter, he get's exposed. Teams are obviously game planning around him.
Can we please officially stop the SH love -fest?? Somebody needs to get in Fred’s ear and tell him his son has no business starting and getting 30+ mins/game. Other teams are not stupid, they are absolutely game-planning and exposing his multitude of physical limitations. He will pull somebody’s redshirt: they probably will transfer next year anyway.

Question. Who are you going to play in his place?
 
Morgan is a decent player but NU is trying way to hard to run the offense through him. NW has the size to shut him down.
 
If Fred was ever gonna lose his shit, that would've been the timeout to do it!! Playing like the font give a crap against a piss poor team!
