LETTTSSS GOOO

 

i have posted negative in only two game threads this year and pronounced the game “Over” and “pathetic” and “embarrassing” 

 

those two games were today and Washington. 
 

reverse jinx baby. 
 

doing gods work. You’re welcome. 
 

GO BIG RED. Beat Minnesota and Penn state or Iowa or Michigan and we are in. 

 

 

I didn't watch the Washington game and olny the 1st half of today's. So I'm with you.

Led less than 2 minutes.   Collins has to be sick.  

 

Then again, Fred likely needs x-rays

Like I said.  Brice needed to play the entire 2nd half.

It's gonna hurt tonight but I bet he feels no pain right now

A win is a win. All emotional posts during the game will be excused, it was looking really bleak down 20. Another Q1 win. Another road win. Huge.

I don’t think you guys realize how mean the texts I sent about Hoiberg were - this win is on me. 

My father in law asked me yesterday about an article he saw that spoke about Nebraska and the tournament.

 

I did nothing but get on my soap box and tell him how I have zero faith in this team, they're too Jekyll and Hyde, and they'll probably lose to Northwestern today because they're hurt and sick.

 

He came over today to take my son to the park. Dropped him off back at home at halftime. I took the opportunity to curse this team, Hoiberg, and any person associated with Nebraska athletics

Self mediate, Like I do for the pain.

I'm hoping Kent asks Fred about his hand.

Since I quit watching the game the Huskers have it down to ten.

I checked out as well.  I have unscientific data that the chances of an NU win is much more probable if I am not watching or listening.  Makes it hard to be a fan.

I stopped watching when we were down 15 in the second half and watched the Mcgruber movie(classic) just saw we won…I made the proper sacrifice haha 

Welcome to the dark side 

[Huskerpapa]

He asked...he had a little incident with a white board at half.

I have an attorney friend who does that. He's not sure if he's coming or going. . 

Nice frickin win today.  Looking forward to Wednesday. Penn State is in my top 3 of programs I despise. Not just in the B1G, but nationally.

Almost turned it off but didn't.   Creighton also lost

How huge was Meah down the stretch in this game. I feel like this was his best performance this season to date!

this thread is a fantastic read from start to finish.  Well done, gentlemen.

[AuroranHusker]

 

Nebraska led for just 1:52 today, which happens to be the least amount of time in a win for Nebraska under Fred Hoiberg

Disagree with the BTN panel that we NEED to win BOTH of these games this week to "feel good" about our tournament hopes.

 

It's just as well to win 'em both, anyway. Keep stacking dubs.

I think we are going to wins more games, but I feel we are pretty comfortably in currently as we have 4 more Q1 wins than Gonzaga and they are for some reason safe

These are 2 of the most winnable road games remaining, so NU might as well win them. The last several home games have been more difficult & MIch. is the next home game, it's a weird year when Nebraska's favored on the road.

An odd stat, but the win today gives us a 3 game *road* winning streak.

The last time was at the very end of the 2021-22 regular season, the final 2 being ranked wins, even. That was so improbable as Nebraska entered that stretch at 1-16 in the B1G, then rolled PSU 93-70, PSU 78-70, and Wisc. 74-73. I think all 3 might have been the opponent's SENIOR NIGHT. What a crazy stat. Nebraska's 59-37 since the start of that 3-game road winning streak for the squad led by Bryce McGowens & Alonzo Verge.
