Nice bounce back.

Man when we beat Michigan we whoop their ass! On to the next. 

[Cazzie22]

Great performance.  Played terrific first 18 minutes and even the rest of the way.  Can we get that defensive energy to go on the road?  First, enjoy the rest and get ready for a tough battle with a physical Penn State.

[Vinny]

I am so glad we did what we needed to and now we get a week to get our legs back.
 

And thanks, Matar for getting the final back to 20!

[brfrad]

Took care of the ball.  Took good shots.  Passed up good shots for wide open shots.  I agree with Jake, that was the best 15 minute stretch by far this season.

 

Michigan is not well coached.  They go by Switzer's philosophy.  It is more about the Jimmy's and Joe's than the X's and O's.  If the Jimmy's and Joe's play well, they will beat you.

We desperately needed the win, but we need the week off even more.  Nice to get both.

[Handy Johnson]

We’ll be the Taylor Swift of the NCAA Tournament.

We are finally catching a deserved scheduling break.  Not only do we get a much needed week off but Penn St. is embarking on a grueling week.  At NW tomorrow, flying back home for a game against Michigan St. on Wednesday and then flying back out to Lincoln for a game Saturday.  That's a great setup for us on Saturday.  Their legs should be pretty tired and allow us to jump on them like we did Michigan today.  So, rest up, keep the momentum going against Penn St. and then roll into a winnable game at Indiana.

[AGHANSEN]

That was easy.

That game felt like a mid major game in the middle of November.

Man is it nice to blow a Big Ten team out.

Huskers easily could have scored 90.

We missed a lot of easy shots.

Go Big Red!

 

[throwback]

Excellent start and did enough in the final 20 minutes to just keep them at arm's length and give them no hope of a comeback. Did exactly what we needed to do.

 

Time to rest up for a few days and then dig in for a winning stretch run.

[HuskerFever]

Capped our longest losing streak at 2 consecutive losses. Looks very attainable to keep it that way for the rest of the season. Quite remarkable, if you ask me.

[Huskerpapa]

That 15 minute stretch in  the first half where we opened up the 30 point least was perhaps our best 15 minutes in a long, long time.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Very entertaining first half. Very enjoyable game overall, except the rather large lady who showed up halfway thru the first half and sat next to me while double fisting drinks - every time a Husker player would take a three she’d raise up her glass and spill beer on me. She also knocked a beer over and it spilled all over my coat, which was located under my seat. Oh well, at least she had fun, if she can remember any of it tomorrow morning. GBR

Blame it on the team.  They made her sing early today.  Usually she can’t drink until a lot later.

The perfect game to go into the bye on. 

 

Things lining up pretty nicely for Big Red. 

 

Get rested, healthy, and destroy all enemies, foreign and, er, domestic or something like that.

He didn't call a bank shot, so ...

More like, kicked their ass!!!!

 

[basketballjones]

What an ass kicking. Michigan didn’t stand a chance. 
 

Can we, ya know, for once… follow this up with a run?

Diop knows he's at The Vault, and the bank is still 'open.'

Get a week of rest, recuperation, and rejuvenation. I like this team's resolve after things didn't seem to go their way. They re-group pretty well. GBR

Underrated post.

 

[huskerbill85]

Forgive me because I'm sick and don't have a ton of energy to search but what place do we need to finish in the Big 10 to get the double bye for the conference tournament?

What's even more remarkable is that Nebraska has broken several long losing streaks in 2023-24. Maybe it's only remarkable because of how bad NU was those first 3 seasons of Hoiberg & Co. All in all, though, winning -- when NU hadn't been winning much against certain good programs -- is a good sign:

 

11 gm to Michigan St.

8 gm to Michigan

7 gm to Purdue

7 gm to Northwestern

7 gm to Kansas St.

 

(could have been a 7 gm vs Illinois, but alas..)
