Hoiskers visit Evanston as 2 point favorite

[scarletred]

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

 

[baseball31ne]

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.

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.

Plus we need wins. We need confidence and we need the best seed we can get 🙏

 

[V-Doub]

Time to shove these nerds back in their lockers and head to happy valley…

 

[mgbreis]

Off to a hell of a start.

I promise not to worry until we're down 15ish.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Pathetic start

 

[mgbreis]

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?

 

[ptgolf]

Nice start by Morgan

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Yeah it serves no purpose and leads to a turnover 50% of the time

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Nice start by Morgan

Maybe he can hit one of these fts this time and get nu on the board

 

[Dean Pope]

It's a bad habit.

 

[HuskersNC]

4:20 without scoring. I assume they'll go 69 more seconds before scoring again.

 

[SomedayHusker]

Truly wild how often we see Sam Hoiberg and the other guards, guarding and trying to out-rebound a 7’ center under the basket

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Yep. They are gonna go well over 50% from 3.

 

[mgbreis]

Sam is a great situational jolt-off-the-bench piece. As a starter, he get's exposed. Teams are obviously game planning around him.

Yeah.. he’s a good spark off the bench. He should not be a starter

 

[Husker4real]

Good thing NU emphasized getting off to a good start.

 

[ru4nu2win]

Yeah.. he’s a good spark off the bench. He should not be a starter

Yeah and our dipshit coach loves watching his son play waaaay to many minutes!!

 

[mgbreis]

Were we due for another road disaster? I hope not.

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.

 

[SomedayHusker]

More playing leap frog for the ball instead of boxing anyone out. Continues to be this team’s Achilles heal every single game

 

[TampaBaySkers]

One of these years I’ll see a husker team that can secure defensive boards

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Cue the clown music

Question. Who are you going to play in his place?

 

[mgbreis]

Welp, we're down 15, so I guess I can start to worry.

 

[SomedayHusker]

What they’re lacking at is the easiest fvcking fundamental thing to do. You don’t have to be athletic or tall to do it. Fred just shakes his head every game wondering why his team won’t do this. It just looks so idiotic

 

[schuele]

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.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

This is not a tourney worthy team

 

[cubsker]

Awful

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

This is demoralizing. We need this win and we’re getting dominated by the worst team we’ve played in quite some time

 

[mgbreis]

Question. Who are you going to play in his place?

It's probably not realistic to play anyone in his place at this point in the season. So I'm not going to throw out the names that everybody already knows.

 

[cubsker]

Hurts when your best shooter can't make a wide open shot.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

This is not a tourney worthy team

There’s plenty of teams that make the tourney that have games like this

 

[SomedayHusker]

Morgan has Gary for a dunk 2 feet in front of his face and throws up a weak floater instead

 

[ru4nu2win]

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!

 

[mgbreis]

Crazy that NW legitimately sucks, but is handling us simply because they rebound and they've got one guy that can shoot.
