Some good names/players on this list, but I am a bit surprised that Isaiah rates only rates #5 AND that Isaac does not appear at all.  That said, the writer does believe Nebraska is the #2 team in the league.

There is quite a bit of competition in that top 5.  Sheesh... The Big 10 is loaded.

CJ Moore's College Basketball Mailbag: What now for Kansas? Who's hot in the Big 12? Is Nebraska for real?

so so I should formally introduce myself. I am a huge  Nebraska basketball fan and push my agenda hard (especially this year) with all national/local media. Here is a question I asked to the athletic and they answered.

Andy Katz just put out this projected bracket which we all know doesn't matter because it's November for god's sake, but let's just say it's... Interesting

I also think we all know how Katz feels about our team.. And I think since it's lasted longer than 4 hours, he needs to go see his doctor

Andy Katz, you are high

 

relax, bro...the games haven't even started yet jeez.

[Huskerpapa]

...but I like it

If we don't figure out how to hit some outside shots we're going to be the 4th seed at the KC tourney

And if do start hitting those shots, we will provide a lot of shock and awe...

Nebraska>>>Rider. Then we would destroy Morrow in the second round. Who, btw had a pretty solid debut for Marquette.

Both the football team and the basketball team are breaking records this season that date back before the 1950s:

 

 

[Norm Peterson]

Nineteen-hundred and forty-nine.

 

Back then, they wore ball-gripping short shorts and canvass hightops. And was Bus Whitehead on the team back then?

 

There was no 3-point line.  There was no shot clock.  There were a lot of slow guys who couldn't jump, who shot granny-shot free throws.  They had jump balls after every score and a high school game in this state might end 2-0.  Or 4-2.

 

Back in the days when a high-scoring basketball team might put up 60, we held consecutive opponents to fewer than 40.  In 1949.

 

And we just did it again nearly 70 years later.

 

Amazing.

[Norm Peterson]

By the way, it should be "fewer than 40 points," not "less than 40 points."

[Red Don]

1949???  I remember there was a Big Blizzard in the winter of '49!   

 

Btw: How about 'Under 40 points.'   (How's that for dodging the issue? )

Not sure who has access to the LJS, but thought I would share it with those who want to read some coverage on our LOI's
