Rinse and repeat - 68 A school in Ohio - 82 13

Be careful. You're in the sweet spot...

Hopefully on Thursday...

TWO THINGS THIS HHCC ROUND: 1) Score prediction for Nebraska at Ohio State (as usual). 2) (BONUS -5 points) Predicting the exact number of assists made by Nebraska players during this game (e.g. I am looking for an answer like "5").

I'm not one to put our lives in the official's hands. They missed a couple calls late in this game that would've helped. Just need to take it into our own hands and make some stops.

Optimistic side of me says that if we had the experience and know-how to play close games, we'd have at least a couple conference wins this season. But then reality sets in...

We'll add it to the "Reasons why we were left out of the 2021-2022 NCAA tournament (even though we never really had a chance), an epilogue" book.

Four of our five made shots are three-pointers??

Okay so...why has she only been to three games, and why didn't you have kids 22 years ago and spared us all this anguish? ...or 22 kids to stretch out this good hoops fortune.

Before this game we were #319 of 350 in 3P%, shooting 29.53%.

Me to myself before this game: Let's go.

We really need Trey to put his best foot forward and help us get out of this rut. I'll see myself out now.

"Usually shoots 35% from 3, but will shoot 50% when they play Nebraska." We know how this show goes...

And for that, there will always be a Rock Bottom thread to say we're at the rock bottom:

Okay, so I'll start with the sentimental, but then we need to get back to brass tacks. First off, we're 18 games through the season which means there's only 13 more regular season games remaining. Let's take step back and try to appreciate what we have in front of us before we go into another long offseason. Lastly, and more importantly, we're in trouble. Yes, our team doesn't have an identity (or at least can't execute to what that identity should be). But that's not wht I'm talking about. Not only do we suck, but Ken Pomeroy is doing a very good job at pointing that out. Ken currently stands on the podium in the bronze medal position and we're just letting him climb the standings week after week. If not for our Huskers, hold strong and finish out this season so Ken doesn't get the last laugh.

@AuroranHusker: IU 74 NU 65

92.3% FT shooting from Iowa and we keep getting them to the line. 25 FTA for Iowa vs 5 FTA for Nebraska.

Refreshing to see what kind of team Iowa is when they're not shooting 60%+.

And that identity needs to be implemented by your recruiters' evaluations as well...

Many many many Benjamin Franklins. Like 1,000+ Benjamin Franklins.

It's what has made Wisconsin so well-rounded and successful in their hoops and football programs over the recent decades.

Nice to see former Nebraska athletes be successful at what they do:
