uneblinst's postgame chatter: vol 16; ed 31- Michigan

The last two Sundays I've worn all black. Decent results.  Any chance the Huskers bring out the all- blacks next Sunday?

In honor of the all black attire.

Thought Josiah might have scared Michigan sort of like this exchange from one of my favorite TV shows

Omg...best show ever....Brownshirts forever!

It's a good thing Michigan's defense was so bad, 'cause they were knocking down some shots in the first half.  Has to be somewhat deflating knowing you scored 43 points and were still down by 7 going to the locker room.

*-Nebraska’s 22 wins ties for second on the Huskers’ all-time single-season list, while the 12 conference wins ties for second all-time.

The first Nebraska team to ever win 22 games was the 1919-20 team who also scheduled a little soft as an independent

Innocuous question, but does anyone know why Boogie didn't get in at garbage time?

I don't think he likes to come in at the end of games like that - and I think Fred has decided to defer to his wishes.   There was a game at home earlier where I saw Fred ask him if he wanted to go in at the end in that situation and he said no so Fred did not put him in.   I think Boogie ultimately just accepted that his role with this team was as a practice player and to do what he could to help from the bench and decided he was done playing absent an injury to the guys in the rotation.

So an 11 PM start now that we have 3 games in front of us that will all go into overtime.

fine by me. let them tire *their* legs out first. 

This game was so perfect. Hats off to Michigan for shooting the lights out the gym to keep pace in the first half, that was crazy. But we took care of business like we should've against the #14 team in the league. But wow this really feels real now.

Wasn't waiting for this win to do this, but I was planning and finally did get tickets to all the Thursday march madness games in Omaha, I've never been to MM, much less the big ten tourney. It's awesome we got the 3 seed btw. I was there in 2014, but this all feels so much better, it's definitely the peak for me as a husker Hoops fan. And yesterday couldn't have been much better, except for the women to win too, but I'm so proud of that team too. What a banner year for husker Hoops men and women both, crazy.

GBR! I'll see any of yall who make it to omaha. Seems like there was a huge rush right after the game on tickets, probably husker fans and hopefully there's a selection Sunday thing at pba, I'll probably make that as well.

This is peak.

Most has already been said, but what a statement finish. Ruin senior day at an arena we've never won against a blue-blood program. And our guys looked and played as they should: Like the better team they are! This is such a special team. 

It would be sweet if we could actually be rated in the top 25 now.  At least the top 30.

It would be a tough; but not impossible turnaround for PBA.  There is a concert on Saturday night.

Keep the taps open. Problem solved.

It'd be cool if PBA did that, but it'd be even cooler if the team can't be there because they're holding the B1G trophy in Minneapolis and are watching the selection show still in their uniforms and championship t-shirts with nets draped around their necks.

Anyone know where to watch the NU post game presser?

I think I mentioned this on Normy's poll, I'd rather win a Big Ten tournament title over anything. That's a trophy. Winning one game in the Big Dance, basically, that's only a little monkey off their backs. Unless it's a deep, deep run in March Madness, I'd rather take the B1G hardware, tbh.

I’d prefer getting that elusive first tourney win.  Being the only P5 program without a tourney win in 125+ years of basketball is a 2000 lb gorilla on our backs to me.

Yeah, I'll feel differently if NU plays in Omaha within these next 2 weeks, for sure. It would be a ginormous weight off one's shoulders and a major marketing tool for Freddy & the program to get that little monkey off their backs and be able to show recruits we have a Sweet Sixteen, even. But, first, I'll still prefer winning it all in Minny would feel pretty darn sweet, only wish NU WBB had sealed the deal. A double sweep in Minneapolis would have been golden.

If one was recorded I should be able to get it today

Is local media [other than Jake and Kent] following the huskers on the road?  Most quotes seem to flow from the post-game radio interview.

Same here,  however why not both. Lets get greedy.

In order to win the Big Ten tournament, we'd have to best a Sweet 16-caliber team and a national top 4 seed.

I would MUCH rather get that first NCAA tourney dub.

And I've been saying for awhile now that if we manage to get into the round of 32, we are a TOUGH team to prepare for in 2 days.  We play a different brand of defense than what anyone will have seen all year, and we have a lot of offensive weapons you'd have to account for.

Let's get that NCAA tourney dub because I think we've got a good shot of reaching the Sweet 16.
