wisc had an up and down non-conference. they're potentially gettable if we make all our shots and they miss all theirs.
Nebrasketball +16 Tonight at Wisconsin

- Start date
I would have thought too but last game they destroyed ranked Louisville by 40 or so. Not sure what got into them or what happened there
Would like to see Fred throw a bit of zone at the Badgers tonight. Wisconsin hasn't been called for a moving screen since the pre-shot clock era, so they create a lot of open jumpers that way. A zone might neutralize that to some degree, if the players are active and take care of business on the boards.
My concern with that would be that NU hasn't looked good in zone defense IMO this year. IF we shoot well from 3, we'll have a chance. If not, it could get ugly.
Their worst starter from 3 shoots 34%, the other four are all over 40%. Uh Oh.
You’re on to something. But I think this NU team is a little better than last year. So if NU can hit ~80% and Wisconsin misses at that rate, we can stay in it.
But hey, let's all just enjoy the opportunity to watch Brad Davison give someone a Christmas punch in the balls! Or, better yet, maybe someone will punch HIM in the balls! He's a good player though, what with is 14 years of collegiate experience. Seriously, is this douche bag ever going to graduate?
Yeah also I noticed fewer announcers breathlessly slobber on Davison compared to past seasons. Maybe the groin punches and various other dirty plays have finally caught up with him.
What are the odds that he baits Teddy into a technical? Gotta be pretty high.
Wisconsin has five senior starters who have been playing together in the same system for the last four or five years. Nebraska will be playing a 10-man rotation that has exactly one game together — against an NAIA team — in that current iteration. The 8-man rotation before the Doane game has exactly seven games under their belt as a unit. An upset would be a monumental achievement. This Nebrasketball team will play its best ball in February and March. Here's hoping the stretch before then isn't too demoralizing. We're favored in exactly zero of the next 20 games.
NU should be ahead by 15, but can’t make a shot. Neither can WI, but I suspect one team not named Nebraska will heat up
Ref who made that call knows there’s a halftime finger wagging from Barry Alvarez coming his way.
10 point lead is just about gone. I suspect we will see a repeat of the Creighton game...surprisingly close first half only to finish with a big loss.
I was just about to ask how in the Hell Wisconsin got 3 points for 16-footer, but they fixed it.
playing alright!
need to keep allen out of foul trouble. 20 mins to what would be a terrific W. let's go boys!

That unraveled FAST. NU was up 21-11 with 4:30 to go in the half. WI scored the next 14, before Thor hit a 3 to get NU back within 25-24 at the half.
