Every game matters, it is stupid to suggest otherwise. Losing a game that you are supposed to win is going to happen; it’s the looking like sheet against the equal to lesser team that is concerning.
Shitty loss but climb off the edge people.. Boys haven't been home since Saturday and as mentioned been battling/recovering from illness out of a hotel room isn't ideal. Get home, rest up and get Berke back for Monday and finish strong.
Brice has a real shot at leaving NU as a 1st team all-conference player
they will also have a chance to be the first to bring home a tourney win in our history
losing a game as an underdog on the road after the stretch we just went through just doesn't mean anything IMO
latest bracketology has us up to a 9 vs the Zags (tough matchup)
My main bitch is that they lost those 6 games in a row, and in doing so dug themselves a hole (grave). But they showed major sack in digging themselves out of that hole. Even though they've been blown out a fair number of times, there's not a lot of quit in this bunch. My personal opinion is that a team can only play with their backs against the wall "must win" type games for so many times until they're just spent. That's what it looked like both Sunday and last night to me. I look forward to seeing them slightly rested on Monday.

Yeah that would be a bad matchup, and the Zags haven't lost in the first round since 2008. They are a very experienced team this year. Utah State would be a much more favorable matchup if we stay at a 9-seed.
If you do the math you should be able to figure that out..
First separate yourself from football to basketball
We weren’t an underdog, and we got punkd. We got a game against a highly ranked team next, which have resulted in blowouts, which would put us as recipients of back to back ass kickings, going against MN who is playing better (just beat USC and UCLA), then OSU, and then iowegians, who we almost always seem to play down against. Quad 1’s look good, but sure feels like we need no less than 2 more.
Oh well. Sorry to buger up your basketball thread. Weird sport. I will continue to hope for Nebraska to do well without watching.
Sounds like a really reliable source.😂 3-1 with a win against Michigan gets us in. Anything less, sorry to burst your bubble.latest bracketology has us up to a 9 vs the Zags (tough matchup)
How often does Sam beat his man off the dribble, or off a ball screen and then dribble into the lane and then he’s not able to even attempt a finish at the rim? Usually doesn’t see the kick out or dump off pass either. Due to his size of course. I love the kids heart and effort, but his size is real liability on both ends.
just the most accurate bracketologist in the world over the last 3 years.
Putting Sam into a ball screen is silly. On offense, he really should just stand in the corner and shoot open 3s if they come his way.
It all depends on us and how we play down the stretch. Win 2 or more games and this game means nothing. Win 1 or less and this game definitely mattered. But if you’re asking me, and you weren’t, if we only win 1 more or go 0-5 down the stretch we’ll have proved we don’t belong. I don’t see that happening, but I won’t be that mad about missing the tournament under those circumstances. If we’re not good enough/capable of winning 2-3 more games, we’ll get worked by 25 in the 1st round anyway.
Watching Ohio State just now, that game looks more winnable than it did a couple of weeks ago. Buckeyes are getting all kinds of help from a horrible officiating crew and still trailing Northwestern at the half.
Of course regardless of who or where they're playing, Huskers can't start a game with an ugly turnoverfest and expect to win.

Couple of points:
Ohio State losing could eliminate them as a bubble. Also makes our win against Northwestern better.
Penn State’s Niederhauser had been out a good portion of their losing streak. Having him back makes them an entirely different team.
