2024-25 Husker opponents

[Cazzie22]

Iowa hangs 51 on Maryland in the first half at College Park.

[throwback]

And the Iowegians score 24 in the second half and lose by 26. Guessing Fran-con was close to an 2 in the second half. 

[brfrad]

Prior to the Rutgers-Oregon game road teams have won 42% of the time this year inn conference games.  Last year, it was 31.4% of the time.

Fran has been placid by his standards. I think he knows the jig is up.

When his sons scattered like the winds, that's when I figured his time was nigh.

Barnburner in LA: only 1:31 left, it's UCLA ahead of Minn. 59-58. The Bruins had led by 17 in the 1st half. Crazy game...

[AuroranHusker]

Minnesota comes back from 14 down to defeat USC by 3, then does it again by overcoming a 17-point deficit at UCLA, winning 64-61 tonight. Dawson Garcia scored 27 of the team's 41 second-half points. Only the Gophers and Wolverines have swept their trip to LA! Oh, and UCLA only made 5 of their 15 FTs in the 2nd half. Wow.

UCLA took what seemed like a shit ton of long 2 pointers too, was a tough game to watch

Don't have to look very far back to remember them coming back on us at the Barn.  They're a team too dumb to know they're not supposed to win games.

Northwestern is up on Ohio State by 23 with only 12 minutes to go. OSU looks completely disinterested about playing a basketball game tonight. No rebounding whatsoever.

Can you imagine a team looking like that? 

[hhcmatt]

Have to wonder if teams in the basement of the conference are more motivated than usual because the bottom 3 don't make the tourney.

I think if you take NU's performance last night and compare with OSU's performance tonight, NU comes out on top. Both games also tell me that when a team is playing for it's post-season life that team can be pretty damn good. Guess I am reiterating what Matt says above.

I don’t understand not being mentally ready to play.  Don’t put on the uniform if you aren’t ready to play.  You only get so many games.

I think every coach who has ever coached has at one point in time had that same thought.

This was my initial thought— technically, even Oregon is still at risk of at least tying for a bottom 3 spot.

[Silverbacked1]

I know this isn’t going to be popular idea but these guys have played too many games in there lives.

 

AAU almost year around.  Some High Schools playing 30 game seasons in like 8 different states.

 

i mean we are on our 27th game right now.  With 5 to go then who knows how many more.

 

it would be really, really hard to get up for every game.

 

i feel it is too much.  Kind of like how there are too many teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB.  it is too deluded for there to be quality play every game.

 

Hey I know i’m being an old man. But maybe it could be better if there was less games and travel.  Also know that I need to go yell at those clouds and tell those kids too get off my snowy lawn

MSU walloped Michigan in the 2nd half to win by 13 today.

I didn't have an opportunity to watch the second half, but from watching the first half it's apparent the Michigan front court is very scary. Our bigs will need to be at their very best.

Definitely a team we will want to double the post (Golden) and hope they aren't hot from three.

Michigan State just looks like a machine out there.  They are deep, love to run, can defend, they play well together and Richardson has emerged as a go to guy. They are a team that can make a deep run in the tournament, but I could also see them have an off night and lose early.

Oregon 

[millerhusker]

Huge win for Oregon at Wisconsin. That’ll cement them as a quad 1a win. 

[AuroranHusker]

From down 17 to winning in OT, that's quite a statement. Oregon 77-73 over Wisc.

 

Reminded me of the prior 2 seasons in which Nebraska downed Wisc. in Lincoln
