They say it’s hard to beat a team for the third time in the same year. Is there any data to back that up or is that just something people say? 

Nebraska beat Oklahoma State four times in the 1977-78 season. I think that record will hold for a while until we go back to playing Nebraska Wesleyan four times a year.

When did Scheierman start looking like Beavis? Apparently their NIL deals don’t include any places that give decent haircuts.

I feel like we really should have beaten Arkansas in 1998.  Correct me if I’m wrong, but I felt like we led most of that game, but then got into foul trouble and lost the lead with about 4 or 5 minutes left in the game. Did Lue foul out of that game?

I sure wish Lue came back for his senior year because we wouldn’t be talking about still trying to get our first tourney win.

So, any idea who would have been on the short list?

I'm thinking the list will have some dust on it the next time it is actually needed.

Falsehood =

 

- 18-13 team with a 3-7 away record

- A 1-2 Neutral Court Record

- An 8-13 Record against Quad 1/Quad 2 

- Lost Heads up to multiple Teams Below them with a better resume

 

That is NOT a #19 Resume and any Metric that continues to keep a team there due to close losses in tough games is a Metric that I believe should never be a focal point of the Committee.

 

Edit - If Nebraska was 18-13 with a 3-7 Road record and finished the season 1-4 with losses to mediocre Ohio State and Iowa teams at home.  Do you think there is any way possible that they would be a #19 anywhere?

 

We'd be the #19th seeded team overall in the NIT

I've been saying this for 2+ years, build a statue out front of PBA for the man who leads NU to the Promised Land... Hoiberg and Tominaga. Maybe have Sammy in it as well. That'd be a sweet trio to honor, or just the roommates Sam & Keisei.

 

 

 

Here's my vote for the statue

Would we rather have Michigan State or Indiana as the 6 seed? Michigan state has no business bring a tournament lock 

Good chance the 11 seed wins the 6/11 game.

Superhuman effort today to carry MSU to the win, by the officiating crew.  MSU has yet to set a legal screen but has been called on none of them.

Here's a small school freshman, who's pretty thin, but might be worth keeping note of.  Kane Wetovick, Fullerton, 6'6", 165 lbs, 16 ppg, 8 rpg, 2 apg, 2 spg, 2 bpg.

My memory is foggy. Didn’t Coach Nee do a senior start tradition for a while?? I remember something like that….

Kelly Lively played the first four minutes against KU in 1991 and we were ahead when he went to the bench.

Tony Barone probably blew his lid that night, huh?

 

It was Dec. 6, 1990, and the score was 97-63 Big Red. Barone left for A&M the following year, and the infamous Rick Johnson took over. lol

 

 

Rick Johnson should have been given a lifetime contract

We'll trot out the 1994 5th string walk-on running back who got 3 carries and won a national championship,

Hey now, don't be dissing Todd Uhlir, his kid might get some playing time at fullback in the next few years

I remember the Bob yellin' for Tyronn Lue to have 1 more year.... that was only 26 years ago. Sheesh!!!

 

It was no big deal, we'd have only gone to the Final Four the next year if he had come back

For a little perspective, in over 100+ Years of Basketball we’ve Won 20 or more games only SEVEN times. I don’t think that Fact is getting enough Run. It might not mean what it once did, but I certainly won’t shrug it off like a run of the mill event. 

Seven times in the regular season.

They just have scores going back to 1950.  Huskers.com used to have scores going back to 1890.

Not when they're 15+ point victories. I bet it's happened more than you realize when you go back 35 years as far as 4-game league wins.

 

Since 1950, the longest regular season conference win streaks are: (not counting conference tournaments, or Big 8 holiday tournament)

2024    4
2023    4
2018    6
2016    4
2014    5
1999    6
1999    4
1998    6
1981    6
1978    7
1977    4
1976    4
1975    4
1972    4
1971    4
1968    6
1967    4
1967    4
1966    7
1958    4
1954    4
1950    4

Inexplicably on huskers.com the scores are gone for a 70 year stretch.  They used to be on there.

That NU hadn't had 4 consecutive conference wins of 15+ in 112 years is amazing. Hopefully more historic factoids are on the way, yet. GBR

 

Unfortunately there hasn't exactly been a whole bunch of four game conference win streaks...

His aunt is probably writing a complaint to the NCAA committee right now.

If they lose to Illinois and at Purdue - they are looking at 19-12 overall, 11-9 in conference, and 3-8 in their last 11 before going to the conference tournament.

Choky Heartburn might be playing in his second straight NIT
