A remarkable stat to ponder

[HuskerCager]

I'll give the answer to this later today, but when was the last time Nebraska lost 3 consecutive home non-conference games?

Of course, we can just take care of business Saturday and we won't have to worry about that, will we?

It's an unbelievable stat, I won't give it away as I read it earlier today, but it shocked me, considering where NU hoops has been historically.

I just looked it up myself, throwback.  You'll have to tell me later where you found the stat.  Of course, anyone can feel free to browse through the media guide and figure it out themselves.

I'm guessing it was back when you could still buy RC cola in a glass bottle..... historically, even when we weren't very good, we always took care of our Non-conference business at home. Granted the schedule wasn't stuffed with top shelf programs, but losing 3 in a row THIS season would be sobering indeed.

The answer was in the newspaper this morning, so its really not to hard to find.

OK, I see it was in the Lincoln paper today - I subscribe to Omaha.

"The last time Nebraska lost three straight nonconference games at home? Try 1941-42, when the Huskers lost to UCLA, Oregon and Great Lakes, the second and third of those losses separated by conference games."
