OK enough of the cupcakes the last 2 weeks

Back to conference play, time to get serious again..

Never easy winning on the road but I like our chances winning two of our next 3 road games.
Iowa looks very beatable in Iowa City..

Sagrain has Nebraska 9th Indiana 14, Maryland 35,Iowa 45,Penn St 65. These are our first 4 games..

I'm more confident about the Maryland game than Iowa. Both are winnable, though. Indiana will be the toughest of the three, I think.

Iowa was almost embarrassed last night against Bryant..

Of course they played with out Gargza but they were favored by 30 points..

Class being out at Maryland sure helps Nebraska. That arena won’t be near the typical home environment Maryland usually has.

Nebraska is now ranked 24 in the AP and moved ahead of Iowa who is 25th..

Michigan- 2
Michigan State- 8
Indiana -21
Wisky- 22

I'm interested to see how these games go based on what we saw against Minnesota, specifically Murphy. Do we have an answer/gameplan for Fernando/Morgan/Cook? I guess maybe what we learned from Minnesota is if you let the big guy have his way don't let the guard kill you too? You guys can tell I'm a real basketball strategist....

There is no result of these next two games that will surprise me. 2-0, 1-1, 0-2 are all distinct possibilities.

Very true depending of Roby’s hamstring at the present time..

bottom line is 18 games, & need to win at least 12 minimum, IMO, bc 10-8 won't and 11-7 may not, get it done

Hello, they’re playing 20 conference games this year..
As tough as the conference is right now 11-9 will get most of the conference in the tournament this year..

I disagree. 9-9 the rest of the way (making NU 20-11; 10-10) probably gets NU in, assuming there are a couple of quality wins among the remaining 9.

but they already split 2 correct? or do those not count?

Sorry, misunderstood didn’t know you already included them in the total...

 

[Redscarlet]

Sargarin has 12 of the 14 teams in the B1G among the top 65 as of today..

Disagree 12-8 will put you win the dance...

Similarly, 11 B1G teams are in the top 54 of the NET rankings (with NU being #12 right now). PSU is #79, giving the conference 12 in the top 80.

12-8 in league play may mean NU only needs to bring the white jerseys the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
