The games with Michigan, Illinois, and Purdue will determine if NU can legitimately win the conference and can legitimately land a 1 or 2 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Beat either Mich or Purdue and handle what they are supposed to, 2 seed. Beat them both and its likely a 1. Illinois would be icing to beat them twice.

I was making my breakfast early in the 2nd half and I dejectedly said to my wife the Huskers are down by 8 points. From that point on the boys started turning it around and played great. Sanford was sizzling hot. I thought Sam played a great game to keep them in it the first half.

Sam knocking down some shots in the first half was big. Gophers’ game plan was clearly to smother some other guys and play off Sam. They had to play more honest after he hit a few.

So when does the Husker ticket office start sending something out to season ticket holders regarding postseason tourney tickets? I’ve searched.

It’s usually much later. 2-3 weeks left in the season. Only so many alloyed to each school

Looks like a top 5 matchup between NU and Michigan on Tuesday, with Houston and Purdue going down today. Too bad the game is on Peacock. Big Ten shooting themselves in the foot again with that crappy streaming service.

Any game shown on Peacock, also airs on NBC Sports Now, which is carried on YoutubeTV. I’m good on both fronts, got both services.

Not the point. This is a a game that should be aired on Fox, CBS, or NBC. Most of the country isn't going to be able to watch a top 5 basketball matchup in late January. The SEC doesn't have conference games that are streaming exclusive.

Yeah I have Peacock too, but when it's an option I prefer to watch it on NBC Sports Now. Less hassle, better feed.

NBC SN doesn't carry all of the Peacock games, but NU-Michigan is listed there.
My cable system has 3 BTN stations currently running the same BTN broadcast... just like every other day... except occasionally there are two different games running at the same time during busy schedules. The B1G makes some seriously dumb moves.

Oh I don't disagree with you there. The only thing worse than Peacock are Big 12 games that are only on ESPN+. That stupid ESPN app is like something from the 1990s.

I guess most of the country should stop being poor. I’ve got YoutubeTV, Peacock, Paramount+, Netflix, AppleTV, Amazon Prime, B1G+, HBOMax, and STARZ. Oh and I make a donation to PBS so my wife can have PBS Passport, so she can watch all the content she likes from PBS.

Edit: I forgot, have Hulu as well.

Good for you. Do you jerk yourself with one or both hands? Point is that the Big Ten is missing out with this trash scheduling.

If not wanting for anything and being able to fire up the game Tuesday, makes me a douchebag, I’ll take it. Rather that than be a whiny b!tch crying about not being able to watch the game. If you don’t want to pay for the service, don’t pay for the service, but stop crying about it and listen to Kent call the game.

This has nothing to do about watching a game. You're worse than a whiney b!tch because you flexed your tv lineup like a 15-year old girl.

Huge douche flex.
