NU may still have some bad nights in conference play, but those early quad 1 wins are like seeding insurance for the tourney. It's still early, but they play with a consistent intensity that the top flight teams have.
They can go .500 the rest of the way and still get a nice seed.

We should jump ISU if we win Saturday. You cant lose by 20 and stay ahead of an undefeated team.

I’m with Scarlet on this one. One game at a time. There are some tough games ahead and it’s easy to hit a skid. It’s a long season and this team has established itself as a hunted team. Northwestern on the road won’t be easy.

You wouldn't think so, but Purdue lost at home by 20+ to Iowa State and they're ahead of NU.

I'm guessing Iowa State doesn't fall all that far. It's hard to drop them below Purdue, when they went into West Lafayette and absolutely s*** stomped the Mighty Floppers.

I had a dream last night that NU was undefeated and a 1 seed in “Minneapolis?”. Does Minneapolis even host this year? 🤔🤷‍♂️. I might need an intervention.

I say let the pollsters continue to disrespect. Might keep the boys hungry and not get too big of a head.

Huskers' strength-of-schedule getting no help from K-State, which dropped to 0-4 in Big 12 play.

Remember when that insufferable blowhard K-State fan who used to live on this board assured us that Chris Klieman and Jerome Tang would be in Manhattan forever and ever and ever?

I figured Tang would do like every other K-State BB coach, and skip town as soon as a better job opened up. But now it looks like he will get canned.
