I thought I had posted the standings this past Monday, but I can't seem to find them. Was certain of it. Either way, here's LAST WEEK's results. I'll post this upcoming week's results on Monday. Beating down both Creighton and Iowa all in one year. Life is good.

Hoiberg's losing streaks at Nebraska: 2019-2020: 2, 3, 17 2020-2021: 2, 9, 5, 3 2021-2022: 5, 10, 4 2022-2023: 2, 3, ... I don't foresee us hitting those 9, 10, 17 types of losing streaks this season. This team is built different.

Who? The boxer?

Don't have to go back too far to see a terrible display of college basketball:

Iowa sucks (NU) - 66 A team that beat Eastern Illinois - 72

Bad basketball? Or bad 0-15 3-point shooting? All the above?

0-15 from 3 isn't going to win you many games...

Hopefully this makes sense. Watching Minnesota remanded me of watching some of our prior teams. Inconsistent, live and die by the 3, start throwing up unwarranted shots when you start getting into a deficit. I felt more confident throughout this game that we had a better team than Minnesota. Not to say they didn't overcome their fair share of adversity. But that was our game to lose. And we narrowly prevented that.

Submit predictions below.

These three-pointers..........

Could argue a spot foul would've been better.

Two major surges where we let Minnesota back into this one.

Force a foul, make 1 of your 2 shots. Rinse and repeat.

Dicky V vibes on that shot.

Too soon.

I don't understand why Breidenbach looks so confused every time a foul is called on him.

This score operator must be a former accountant for Enron or FTX...

We all know the drill. We finish 9th in the league and the committee takes #1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/10.

I'd rather have 5 7-stars to be honest...
