Nebraska (16-7) vs. Northwestern (15-7) Game Thread

[Cazzie22]

I hate this fouling to extend the game.  At some point you have to concede.

[Huskerpapa]

We played a terrible game.  Terrible.  Yet we didn't quit.  That gives me a bit of peace of mind.

It was actually going decently well for us there for a few minutes

They needed to hit some of the 3s they took to make it matter more. But it was. 

[cozrulz]

Move on.  Schedule sets up more than good.

This season has been amazing but I just hope our inability to win on the road doesn't end up biting us in the ass

[brfrad]

If I needed a ref to call a game to save my life, and my only 2 options are Eric Curry and Kelly Pfifer.  I would just consider I had a good ride, and call it a day.

Got it to 12. This game isn't even a footnote now. Move on and get ready for the next.

Feels like 0-10 on the road would be way too big of a black eye. Gotta get 1. Can't give the committee a viable reason to leave us home.

1-10, but yes... point stands.

Pretty sure that's how the courts work over in Iran.

Don't you worry. We'll get rewarded with a first round road NIT matchup.

We're on here talking about how we look gassed and of the top 4 minutes played the last 2 weeks in the big 10... 3 of them belong to NW players.

 

The thing is that NW played on Saturday afternoon and we played on Sunday night 

[brfrad]

We need to get some road games on Peacock.

Good point.  Travel schedule was rough on our guys for sure flying Sunday night and again Tuesday afternoon.  Only one real day at home.  Got a week off coming up soon.  Just need to hold serve until then.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Looking at the schedule down the stretch, even if we hold serve at home, and don’t win at IU, OSU, and Michigan, I’m not feeling great unless we win 1 in the tourney. 

[hskr4life]

Good news is that we're 13-3 in Q2-Q4 games this year.  Our remaining schedule...

 

Michigan- Q3

PSU- Q3

@IU- Q2

Minny- Q3

@OSU- Q1

Rutgers- Q3

@Michigan- Q2

 

 

Bad news is that there isn't a lot of room to slip up here.

That reminds me that Nate Hawkins used to post Sponge Bob videos during our games when he didn't travel with the team. Would it surprise you that he ended up not having a very good college basketball career?

Four home games.  

Three okay road games.

 

We’re ok.

We only have 2 more times we have 2 off days in between games.  The rest are 3 or more off days.  Both of the times we get to come back home on the 2 off days, vs Michigan and Rutgers.

Two thoughts: 1. Brice is not a point guard. 2. Nice to hear from hhcDave, who must now be considered a bona fide jinx.
