We really enjoyed doing our last podcast so we will be doing Instagram live during as many time outs as possibles well as halftime. We are on Instagram @risky roadz nebrasketball pod but, if you just search nebrasketball you’ll find it. We are hoping that it can be an extension of this thread as I’m sure we will steal some ideas from the best NE vs Maryland 01/02/19 game thread in the world! So excited for this game! If we win out I think we can still get a 1 seed right? ?

I would like to rant for a second so my apologies in advance.  I have heard and read routinely that it "would be nice to win 1 out of the next 2" or that the expectation should be "to get 1 out of the next 2 on the road".  That's the typical Nebrasketball mentality (mine included!) over the past 25 years.  I'm sorry but the expectation should be to win tonight and then at Iowa.  We have the better roster and team in both both of these games.  When you have the goods and the team to back it up, then go out and beat inferior competition, regardless of where the game is played.  That should be the expectation, at least in my opinion.  Maryland is young and the stadium will be half full so go out and get a win you should get.  Also, I could give two poop emoji's that Iowa is ranked.  They rode a wave into the rankings by beating two vastly over-rated teams in UConn and Oregon in a beginning of season tournament.  Iowa is not trash (and I wouldn't disrespect trash by calling them that) but they are not world beaters.  When they go 7-13 or 8-12 in conference, I won't be shocked at all.  These are not two winnable games, these are two games we should win.

 

Rant over, beat Maryland....then beat Iowa like a drum.  GBR!

I think we all “think” that.  It’s hard to put into words what you just did for Nebrasketball fans.
