Nebraska (7-19) vs Northwestern (12-12)( +/-1) game thread

[cipsucks]

Questions abound with this program. Does any coach on the staff give two shits how the team performs? Do any players care about Nebraska fans who have given their hearts and souls for decades hoping that someday this program would make them proud?  Doubtful.  I don't think any of them want to be asked....

Bryce just got asked that in the postgame and said he doesn’t  pay any attention to the crowd.

Maybe we can grant Fred an annulment in return for reducing the buyout, so he can scrub this from his record?  Retroactively name Doc the head coach for the last three years?

So did Tominaga kick Fred’s dog or something?

Possibly, but it may also relate to some defensive issues (but that is the whole team) and the fact he cannot find a way to launch his shot against Big Ten talent.

Keon on the other hand...

it seems like Fred gets so mad at Bryce for launching 30 foot threes that he benches Tominaga for the rest of the game

Is this important during timeouts? Fred isn't exactly a yell at the players type coach

May give announcers something to talk about for 5-10 minutes vs whose corn is better like the last game.

And no, Hummel, it's not Indiana.

Bryce is 9 points away from breaking Dave Hoppen's freshman scoring record

He must have passed the ball to Bryce.

I'm gonna tune in and if it's interesting going into halftime I'll continue to watch. I'm just ready for whatever is happening this off-season to happen

I’m surprised Robbie doesn’t spend more time reminiscing about his days as a Timberwolf. He and Fred could compare notes between Deja Vu & Dream Girls…

Speaking of Tominaga, check out this tweet:

He got so offended that Indiana/Purdue was not in that conversation.

Just for giggles, I went back to when Husker basketball seemed fun. 1996-97 season. I randomly picked it, so stay off my ass.  I went back from that season, and checked every time they played on 2-22.  They won in 97 over ISU, 95 @ Missouri, 92 @ ISU, 89 Colorado and 84 @ Okie State.  I got lazy and didn't go back any farther. NU never lost on that date through those years.

 

My point is, history gives the Huskers a win tonight.  I think it's fitting, and extremely sad, the Huskers get their 2nd conference victory on 2/22/22 on a Twosday.  They win going away.

Jake noted on the radio that when the built Welsh Ryan arena they forgot to including the visitor's locker room.

Hoiberg's voice is bad enough that Armon Gates is filling in for Fred on the pre-game show with Kent tonight

NW hasn't been a double digit favorite in a B1G game since 2017 v Rutgers. Of course, that NW team won an NCAA game. This NW team, probably not so much.

Nice recovery on a near-turnover just to turn the ball over.
