Oof. I was having a conversation with my Dad in the early part of the season. I pretty much tell him every year THIS is the year and this is how it happens! I was telling him this is literally the only time in 30+ years I completely counted the Huskers out. Don’t have a chance for even a winning season let alone post season play. Aaaah good times. Oh and fuck Iowa

Prospects!
 

Want to play for the best coaching staff in the B1G?  Come to Nebraska.  
 

I can’t believe I just wrote that.  

Great team win.

Only 431 replies about an hour after the game. I'll go out on a limb and say more to come.

Minnesota may just choose to shut down its basketball twitter account Wednesday.

 That is incredible, well done Nebraska fans

that was pretty awesome wasnt it

Can’t believe we finished 9-11 in conference and got 11th seed.  Pretty crazy

I predicted 9 conference wins at the start of the season...then foolishly started doubting this team by the time we got to the December predictions. I don't doubt them any more and expect a couple more wins in Chicago. GBR!

Over .500 (at some point) in the month of March for the first time since when?

Two conference regular-season sweeps for the first time since when?

Had the pleasure of driving while this one was happening.  But that meant spending my afternoon with Kent P and Jake.  There were so many quotes that were great.  Two that stick out were

a “sit down Fran” I believe or some variation of that late in the game… possibly after Hoibergs charge.

The other happened after the game when they were doing a chiropractor ad.  Jake said something like “the Iowa fans are hurting” and Kent says “Does a chiropractor help hurt egos?”  Lol

That tells me the talent and coaching disparity from top to bottom in this league isn't as far off as many think.  We should have beaten Purdue in Lincoln. We will the next time we play them. 

Throughout the game I had issues with play of two or three players.  Yet at games end, all of the players stepped forward in one way or another.  Proud of the effort and giddy withe results.

I wonder if Keisei was hurting a bit today?  He sort of looked sluggish is the second half.  

Eight players played. Denim Dawson logged 2 minutes and did not score.

Everyone else (7 players) scored between 9 and 16 points.

I don't think I've ever seen that in a conference game before: Seven guys with at least 9 points and nobody more than 16.

I about spit my drink out when I saw that one.

It's that time of the season. Time for an irrational thought...

Regardless of how many wins we get, why don't we just never lose to Creighton, Iowa, and Wisconsin ever again?

NOTICE to B1G TOURNAMENT:     BEWARE - HOIBERGLARS ABOUND!

Thanks and a tip of the hat to @Bugeaters1

Glad I was so wrong today

Good shooting is a cure for many ills.  Cautiously optimistic about Wednesday.

40% of Hoiberg's wins at Nebraska came from this season (50% of conference wins).

We gave up a combined 44 points in transition and on second chances and still won. Helps a lot to shoot 50%+ from 2 and 3, but that's still nearly impossible.

Apparently not.  We have an exciting week ahead!
