2021-22 Husker opponents

[Cowboy Kermit]

Purdue takes UNO to the woodshed this afternoon at Mackey Arena.

[HuskerFever]

As much as people despise the SEC, they've put in a whole lot of investment into their programs via coaches, facilities, and athletes.

 

It wasn't long ago when Auburn basketball wasn't a priority and people didn't attend games. Now they're going to be a real tough opponent in December for us. They're a much better team than Syracuse is right now, regardless of the outcome of this game tonight.

Maryland just fired Mark Turgeon

How weird. Not even two months into the season... wonder what's going on at the Univ. of Maryland. Doesn't seem too merry.

This is a man who, if he did the same things at Nebraska that he's done at Maryland, we'd be building statues for and naming streets after.

 

Maryland fans basically bullied him until he cracked and resigned.  Sad.

I wonder how the committee handles forfeit wins:

Yea, but we only lost to W Illinois by 1 point so technically, we are better than UNO.

You might want to check your transitive math

There's 10:52 remaining in the 1Q and Auburn is up 18-1 can #16 LSU.

9:14. That was the time LSU scored their first field goal.

I think we're officially the "Rutgers" of the Big Ten now...

Not just now but think we have officially been the Rutgers of the Big Ten for several seasons now in both football and basketball

Sorry, I just posted and said basically the same thing in another thread.  Great minds think alike.

Thanks for the clarification. Something seemed off, but had heard this from someone else referring to basketball. This makes sense.

Pretty much Cupcake City next season.

Last night Maryland had a 6 point lead and the ball with 18 seconds left in regulation at Northwestern and the Wildcats tied it up but Maryland won in double OT.  NW missed a free throw that would have put them up one in regulation with seconds left. I kind of root against Maryland for firing their coach in mid-season.

Unfortunately, I think that leaves us as the last team with 0 conference wins.  We were sharing that with Maryland.

I'm not defending Maryland, but wasn't it a mutual decision between coach and institution that Turgeon move on?

That could be but in most cases of a mutual decision the school basically says "how about we do this or else" type of choice.  I just don't think a guy that has had a great deal of success in a tough league (even if he can be a Richard Cranium) got a fair shake here.
