Hoosiers come into the vault as +5 dogs

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Huskers take care of business in the first game of the first 4-game mini-stretch of games.

Kugler just mentioned NU is 18-5 in their last 23 games over the past 2 seasons. That is a shocker.

I lied when I said I would only watch the last 5 minutes. I watched it all. 😂
What a satisfying win!

 

[schuele]

Nice win. Great to see NU forcing so many turnovers, which offsets their lack of size inside.

 

[HuskAir]

That was a really nice win. GBR

 

[mgbreis]

Hoiberg has been B1G-ized, talking all that defense.

 

[big red22]

O/U is 151
Nebraska needs this one holding down it’s home court..

And sure enough they whooped their ass

Is this the first time Keisei has given an interview in English? It just dawned on me I have never heard him speak.

 

[GretnaShawn]

Fun game. Good win. Great team effort. Needed that one. Can’t lose winnable conference games. Let’s get to the tournament and win a damn game!

I believe he talked to Morris after another game.

If we beat ranked Wisconsin on Saturday no doubt we will be top 25 next week

Beat a ranked Wisconsin and Nebraska will be ranked… behind Michigan St.

This was Lunardi's bracket from Bracket Matrix on Monday... Changed today, but I literally lose all respect for these so called experts when they do this crap

Our 3 pt shooting is the biggest difference between this year’s team and previous Hoiberg teams. Mast was awful on offense last night but the rest of the team shot well from 3. D overall was pretty good but were undersized at the 5. We’re going to have to continue to beat teams from behind the arc.

 

[leodisflowers]

These guys play as a team. I think that’s the difference. We aren’t playing the hero ball we once did. Everyone seems to contribute. GBR

 

[JabroniBlvd]

Satterfield still looking for a fist pound...

 

[big red22]

Majority of the time if you can finish .500 in conference play
you have a decent shot at making the dance..

Can this Husker team accomplish this ?

Nebraska went 14-6 and 22-9 finished 4th in the Big 10 and got a 5 seed in the NIT. People go out of their way to think Nebraska sucks even when they don't. Lunardi had Kansas State in the Tournament and Nebraska. So yes they can accomplish that, do they make the Tournament... probably not

this is the only expert whose opinion matters, and thus should be listened to:

Huskers firmly on the bubble at 52

 

[Husker4real]

At the risk of being the guy that jinxes this thing, this NU team has a different ‘vibe’ than previous NU bubble teams. Given what they have shown so far, there are A LOT of winnable games left on the schedule. Hopefully the Creighton and MN debacles were the punch in the face they needed.

Another big difference....free throw shooting, it is almost always the difference in close games and for some reason, we seem to be good at it this year.

It’s been forever since we weee a good free throw shooting team. It’s a huge relief to see it now.

and we get to the line with much more consistency & a wider array of players than we have in probably 6 years

On a positive note, Oregon State beat USC at home and Beavs are now leading Washington State on the road. OSU was picked to finish dead last in the PAC, but this would give them a 2-1 start.

EDIT: Beavers give up 44 in the second half and lose. Still bad.
