AuroranHusker Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 I had posted about 3 straight conference wins, with at least 1 on the road, with all by double digits, well that had happened about 8 years ago. Add one more game, and it's 112 years ago. Whoa. Props to Keith Mann for providing Shamus McKnight this particular historic Nebrasketball factoid. Let's add to this list in the next month... GBR!

hskr4life Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Not having had to sweat a Nebrasketball game for over two weeks has certainly been a nice addition. Especially with so much on the line. huskerkid21, Five, Chuck Taylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuroranHusker Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 That NU hadn't had 4 consecutive conference wins of 15+ in 112 years is amazing. Hopefully more historic factoids are on the way, yet. GBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been 5 in the last 10 seasons. So it's not entirely rare in recent history. I believe a handful of 3-game streaks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when they're 15+ point victories. I bet it's happened more than you realize when you go back 35 years as far as 4-game league wins.

UNL keeps redoing the website which breaks everything and basketball can't catch up. For the longest time they weren't even posting PDFs for the box scores after the games. All of this stuff is in the media guide. They of course don't have this year posted but they have last year's. https://huskers.com/mbb-guide-archive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love pouring over the odd snippets of NU basketball info. It provides context to how good this current team is. At least the NU Sports Information team keeps tabs on things like this... mostly.
