18-0 baby. Let's keep this train rolling.
Like that we have Mike DeCourcey calling us a 1 seed.
Love how they just take care of business. Methodical and explosive at the same time.
No reason at this point we shouldn't be #2. Uconn won by 2 today. We won by 35 and 18 this week.
Zona, Houston, NU, Michigan, Purdue are all fighting for one seeds.
I'd be interested to know how many times B1G teams have won by double digits on the road this year. I bet we have half those wins.
BTN basketball analyst "I don't see Nebraska losing any games for the rest of the season."
He’s been one of the few on our bandwagon. The espn crew isn’t going to give us any credit. They don’t do BIG 10 games.
Tip of the hat once again to Husker nation. Significant number of the nation at the game giving their love to our BB team.
Michigan has kinda regressed. Probably still the best team in the conference, but they’re not winning as big as they were.
I watched their entire game vs Washington a few nights ago. We would have won comfortably.
Noticed Garcia is not playing as many minutes...in the dog house or am I wrong about his minutes?
And were not even done with half the conference season yet.
This is big for two reasons if they do. It will be the highest Nebraska has ever been ranked and better yet for you jayskers that act like you are a Nebraska fan now. That rank will be one spot higher than the Jay's best ranking ever too. Must be a rough season for you jackasses that cheer for the Big Red in the fall and put on your sweater vests in the winter.
I hope they make it to the final four just to shut you dumb asses up
I said it earlier but I keep marveling at the contributions from Jacobson. He had one drive when the game was close where he took to the rim with his left hand and just laid in an under control soft layup. He just doesn’t look like he should be able to do that.
We have a long season left before we even think about the final 4.
Let’s start by winning that first round game in the tournament, no reason why we should look beyond that.
Sweet 16 would be epic.
See... the point is to make it further then them. I, like you am enjoying the ride, but Creighton fans somehow think they are superior and nothing would make me happier then to watch us beat everything they have ever done.
I know they are all scared too, because this year they know it is possible
He plays well beyond what he should be able to. He has developed so well. When the game is getting chaotic, he comes in and restores composure and fundamentals
I never want to see anyone get hurt, but Jacobson is a better fit for this team than Essegian. NU has other guys who can shoot, but needs guys who play D and rebound.
yeah, i don't think essegian would be playing much. last year, we needed his offense, but we really don't with this team. I like how we can score no matter what who we have out there. Frager has added so much.
It's been done before.
I don't ref basketball, but I do ref high school football and am a "Crew Chief". I am old dude.
My back judge is 32 years old, played college ball, is faster than most college kids (and EVERY high school kid on the field).
But he is male and white. He will be in D3 for 5 more years while we watch ----- ---- in the Big Ten every week. These officials haven't even worked more than 3 years in high school before they are promoted to the MAC or Big Ten.
I am no longer angry, just sad for my guy and laugh about how they rely on video review to make a call because the official didn't know the rule or just made a horrible call

I said at the time that I didn’t think Essigian would really be missed. Feel bad that the kid got hurt, but other guys have stepped up.
Hate that he got hurt but we need Essegian more next year than we do on this years veteran squad. Essegian is a good dude
I’m sure he’s a good guy but I actually hope Fred recruits over him. Capitalize on this dream season and upgrade your talent level.
I went to the game and actually felt sorry for Northwestern fans. No homecourt advantage at all. And absolutely zero to cheer about. GBR
He needs to stop shooting 3’s and scrap under the boards. A little slow footwork on D
And to add on, the big 2nd half run was made without Mast and Lawrence on the floor. Jacobsen and Frager with another quality all around performance, and Fred stayed with it.
Yeah I think Fred orginally sat Mast and Lawrence just before the under 12:00 timeout, trying to buy them a couple of extra minutes of rest. But the group on the floor extended the lead, so he stuck with them. Good on Fred for doing that, instead of clinging to his rotation plan like it's etched in stone. Way too many coaches do exactly that.
