Worst home loss in school history

[PimpMario]

According to the OWH.

 

"The 36-point margin of defeat was the worst at home in the school’s 121-year history of the sport."

 

We dropped to 8-8 at PBA; I don't think that's why we built the arena.

City built it

[PimpMario]

City built it

I didn't mean to imply everyone from the board was from Lincoln when I said "we."

But the city doesn't want see there main tenant go .500.

They want people to keep showing up to buy $4.25 Gatorades.

Sad thing... but it's reality.

 

Our season was 1 step forward... 2 steps back... 3 steps forward... 4 steps back... 1 step forward......... run and run the other way.

[AuroranHusker]

That was kind of brutal, huh?

Derrick Walton had 18 pts, 16 ast & 5 stl. I hate that guy. He's so, so good, but I hate that guy!

In the second half you could see he was just toying with us to break an assist record.

Glynn Watson has a total of 16 assists and 5 steals in the last 6 games.

For some reason he has hit the wall physically or mentally. I would bring him off the bench against Penn St.

[hhcmatt]

It was among one of the worst annual last game of the year "see you next year" exchanges with the people I sit by

[HuskerFever]

The 2nd worst home loss was against Ohio State in Jan. 2012 (45-79) in the Bob.

Sometimes it's tempting to get down on our fan base for not being engaged or vocal - I know I have before.  But if you were there last night, you would have seen 14K in the stands that witnessed the program cap off their 5th losing season in 6 years with the worst home loss in history.  And with all that said, there were 50+ fans in the corner of the stands applauding the team as they went off the floor.

Kudos to our fan base - they deserve an A+ for perseverance.

Tai also got a standing ovation that lasted well past he walked off the floor.

All those other programs except Creighton have either a national champ-ship or a National Title Game appearance in the recent past.

In 2015, 629,983 people attended NU football games. In 2015-16, 610,071 attended D1 hoops games (NU, UNO, CU). CU had 19 home games, NU had 18. If NU had one more, that number would have been roughly 625,500. That's kinda stunning...

Add in the Omaha Mavs' hoops attendance, and it's north of the NU football attendance (to account for Mavskers in the former total with the latter).

Sorry, I didn't see UNO. In my mind, they go by Omaha now. Both Omaha Mav squads are in the Summit League semi's today! GO MAVS!!

Their game was really entertaining yesterday. Hope they keep it rolling tonight and get a shot at one of the South Dakota hosts!

Looks like we're on par with Kansas! And we are opposite of what they are in terms of history and success.
