B-town hoopsfan Posted January 1, 2019 Report Posted January 1, 2019 Gosh that Minnesota game still stings. I expect to get Maryland, possibly by double digits. Real nervous about Iowa and Indiana. Expect to get MSU just because it’s a home game. Rutgers @ Rutgers will be far from a gimme they are quite a bit better then last year imo. 3-3 is the minimum of this stretch. 2-4 will leave us some work to be done. All those road games and the MSU game have to be quad 1 games right? Quote

Art Vandalay Posted January 1, 2019 Report Posted January 1, 2019 Iowa is currently 35 so its a comfortable Q1 for now Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 I hope for this this year: 1) win every home game = 10 games 2) win the ones on the road that we are favored in = 6 wins 3) so that leaves what? - 2 toss ups on the road 4). so I would/could hope that we go 17 - 3. Will we more likely not but why not dream. Now back to what I really think. Win tomorrow, then on to Iowa. One day at a time... Red Don 1 Quote

HuskerFever Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 Bernard Muir is the Selection Committee chairman this year. He owes us one for his volleyball players drawing guns and middle fingers at Herbie Nebrasketball1979, ShortDust, Red Don and 1 other 1 3 Quote
nustudent Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 I'd be okay with 3-3. 4-2 really really helps our cause though and sets us up nicely. It likely means it gets the Minnesota game back that we gave away as well Quote
huskerbaseball13 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 I will be pretty ecstatic if we go 3-3 during this stretch. Getting one of the next two would be a great start. Quote

They had karma on their side. Both Michigan schools would have lost in Minneapolis that night. The shirts the players wore pregame will more than make up for the loss the rest of the season, karma-wise. jdw, ShortDust, ladyhusker and 1 other 1 3 Quote

Norm Peterson Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 Gotta get the home games all season and then pick up a few on the road. Tough winning on the road, as MD and MN showed us. NUtball 1 Quote
49r Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Posted January 18, 2019 Pretty decent chance to get this thing to 3-3: Wed Jan 2 15 20 Maryland L, 74-72 65 Away 11-3 1-2 Sun Jan 6 13 31 Iowa L, 93-84 76 Away 11-4 1-3 Thu Jan 10 16 64 Penn St. W, 70-64 62 Home 12-4 2-3 Mon Jan 14 15 33 Indiana W, 66-51 64 Away 13-4 3-3 Thu Jan 17 11 3 Michigan St. L, 70-64 69 Home 13-5 3-4 Mon Jan 21 124 Rutgers W, 70-62 65 76% Away × And that would meet or beat most folks' expectations. And then the schedule really opens up for us! hhcmatt and Norm Peterson 2 Quote
