This is why we can't have nice things.

I know the Purdue game was bad, and can see how that's adding far more concern than before that game was played. But 2 of our last 3 games were decided by 1-score or less. Sure, there's a number of areas the team is going to have to work on. But are we really that broken? Feels like this board thinks we won't even qualify for the third grade girls YMCA tournament at this point.

But this season isn't feeling quite like a dud just yet. Maybe it's more that looking ahead is just a gauntlet. We started off the season in the best position in decades. And we hit our first three game losing streak in two years. And our first loss at home in 20 games. Sure, we've hit a patch, but we also started ahead. If we end strong, then it's not out of the realm of possibility we end up similar or better than last season. But the team needs to find it's groove.

First three-game losing streak for Nebraska basketball since January 2023. Quite the stretch of quality basketball!

Take whatever position you want in this debate, but somewhere out there there's a person who had bet +11.5 or 151.5 under on that game

More wins than fans now.

This is a week to forget. But it's going to be a hard one for our players to forget. Hopefully they use this as motivation, because the Big Ten schedule is a grind.

It's a good thing we started out the season at one of our best in Nov/Dec. Gives us a bit of breathing room in conference play; even with no gimmies. Win our home games and we should be okay. Steal a couple road wins and we'll be gravy.
