Apparently we always get stuck with games that won't end beforehand.

I'll take a road win @Northwestern over one @Michigan State considering the conference standings.

Yep, and Vegas agrees. Not close. No team I would rather play if we could choose a team to play and have to win. It is smoke and mirrors but a hell of a win nonetheless. If that is the case what does that make Nebraska's wins? The truth is the Big 10 is probably more down than people realize. Outside of Michigan and Michigan State I haven't seen a whole lot. The Big 10 is probably the 3rd or 4th best conference.

Personally Minnesota seems like more of a rival. Probably because we have a history with them even before the Big 10 days.

Yep. Sometimes they look like the worst team in conference and then later look like a strong 7th+ team. I'm not sure this team will win a road game this year (@Northwestern probably best chance). But they can protect home court. Just doing that sets up well for a NIT spot.

Start of an important 4 game stretch (3 road games, 1 home game). Protect home court and steal one on the road. Split these games and we are 5-7 entering the last week of February.

I was thinking Gallegos 4 point play for play of the game. Really brought the crowd back.

Back in the CBI/NIT conversation.

You watching the same game? How many turnovers does he have? How many sellouts on the defensive end does he have? It is a lot.

Good job Pitchford.

Leslee Smith has been killing us on both ends tonight.

Thanks Indiana. Should have just played defense.

Not necessarily a fan with a minute left but it stops the fast break and stupid over the back fouls.

Doc is that you Most of the time that is called. We got lucky.

Looked like Indiana has already started the free throw contest.

Petteway pushes off. Got lucky there.

Lack of rebounding about killed us.

Good thing Shields didn't decide to Doc ball it like Miles wanted.

Put in Rivers. Hawkins can't rebound.

It's "The Depot" - "The Bank" is too generic and too lame.

Eichorst is a douche. Biggs deserved to be removed from the team but if it wasn't Miles' decision...

Best play of the night...Rivers flashes high and finally gets the ball from Petteway, Minnesota crashes and Rivers kicks it back to Parker for two. Throughout the game we had missed the guy flashing high but finally found him. Team seems to play better with Rivers on the floor. Parker gave us some great minutes. For me, Minnesota is the basketball rival. Beating them feels good. Beat Indiana and we can start thinking CBI and go from there. Just protect home court.

Usually you only get one chance and Biggs has had multiple. Hopefully he gets it together but it probably doesn't need to be at Nebraska. Honestly we have guys that will step up. Benny Parker and Tai Webster.

Play Rivers and we win. In crunch time we needed a scrappy play/defensive stop. I'm confident Rivers would have got a rebound, steal or block just like the Ohio State game. I hate our roster management. It sucks.

This team isn't close to being as athletic as they let on.
