Will Arizona State fall out after tonight?

 

It's likely, unless they can beat Kansas in Tempe on Saturday.

...and not only did FSU not leapfrog us on KenPom, they dropped down below Kentucky.  So we got a little breathing room.

I wish NU had another shot at KU.... guess we'll have to wait 'til the Final Four.

Dirk being Dirk.... again.  I swear this guy lives for controversy.

He has one of those punchable faces.

Dirk is a jackwagon twit.

Loves every reason to criticize Nebraska and its coaches.  Creighton has never been wrong about anything ever.

and don't kid yourself.  He doesn't "really like" our team.

Nah, it is just the desperate OWH searching for 'clicks'.... Dirk grew up a Nebrasketball fan, if you can believe that.

From the looks of things, several dozen people got in line before you, in the event you were hoping to be the first.

I think this is a subtle, back-handed dig at Creighton for not being in the top 40.  Or top 50.

 

I'm guessing that's what he's getting at.

Barring unforeseen tragedy we're going to be ranked for 3 straight weeks. Drink it in.

And a total of 4 weeks in the AP Top 25 before Jan. 1st. That's pretty good, all-time at NU. So, let's do that, pls.

 

[hskr4life]

Huskers got a chance to move up!

Very small impact for NU right now but would you want Buffalo or Marquette? I lean Buffalo because it could help the big east fall completely out of the polls. I also think buffalo can’t hold on to this strong of a season. Realistically though this game could impact our seeding.

Before the week I would have said I want Buffalo to go 0-2 or 2-0.  1-1 doesn’t really do much for us.

Furman and Buffalo lose.  And tomorrow, #18 and #19 are likely to both lose: #19 Kentucky plays at #9 UNC; and #19 ASU gets a visit from #1 KU.  If we don't stub our toes and win comfortably tomorrow, we could be closing in on top 20 status.

We've got a game to win on Saturday!

 

That Rhode Island game in 2014 taught us how quickly we could go from being ranked to being tanked.

Speaking of Marquette, I saw Morrow played a whole 12 minutes tonight.

Well... neither of those went our way.

Hey Dirk did an absolutely fantastic piece about Danny Nee earlier this year in the OWH so you have to cut him SOME slack... just sayin’

Dirk's Danny Nee piece was good, but nowhere near as good as his annual "Catholic High Schools have an unfair advantage" pieces.

 

Clown.

 

The fact he's from Columbus makes it even worse.

It's not that it was Bobby Hurley. It's that I had this game pegged as an opportunity for us to leapfrog a team ranked ahead of us in the AP poll.  We're not going to jump over KU; we might have jumped over ASU if they'd gotten curb-stomped at home.
