Likewise. Let’s see if you’re still shitting on any good things going on with the basketball team.
It seems more likely this team finds a way to play themselves out of the NCAA tournament. And that's not just based on decades and decades of irrelevance, this team has guys that love nothing more than to just stand there like slack-jawed idiots when an opponent shoots the ball, allowing said opponent to grab an easy bucket on the offensive rebound. This, naturally, is followed by an inbounds pass that is immediately kicked out of bounds for no reason other than being a moron. Rinse and repeat.
I used to be one of them. Then I realized my happy-times-only comments on message boards wasn't going to magically make Frank Solich not suck at playcalling, or make [insert any of a handful of Nebraska basketball coaches] realize that rebounding is a skill that should be practiced regularly
I wonder if these guys have fathered a bunch of kids. Sounds exactly like my kids elementary basketball team unfortunately.
Unfortunately - the way this team is up and down and gets blown out on the road - I don’t see them making the Dance. I do see them making the NIT though. So it’s progress but a bit disappointing.
I don't think you have to be either a sunshine pumper or a doomsday Nostradamus....a fan who hopes for the best could be a good balance...
Que? They have done pretty well bouncing back after terrible road showings. I hope it continues
We are having a very comparable season to a majority of solid teams this year. I bless you’re a 1-4 seed, this is. It an abnormal basketball season. We’re just not used to it and we expect to win every game or “we suck” .
I thought we were a lock for the tournament but getting blown out by Maryland caused me to think it’s kind of a long shot now. We need to go on a nice run to end the regular season. We aren’t out of it yet but it’s an uphill battle now.

Yep, I posted my opinion in another thread and was told I couldn't be taken seriously. Followed that up with metrics looking at other conference teams and how huskers compared to them. Was told I was from peanut gallery and being negative. Replied again and asked questions. Those "experts" never replied.
Huh? Losing to a quad 2 team on the road doesn’t magically make it an uphill battle now.
Agreed, but saw a stat and it may have been on here that top 10 ranked teams are only winning 38% of road games this year. It may not help Huskers but does show winning on the road is tough in college basketball. And to add to your point Huskers getting blown looks bad also.
We still have a clear path, but we need to get at least 1 road win. Our Jekyl and Hyde road to home disparity has me concerned. Not so much that we haven’t won on the road in conference, but how bad we get beat on the road.
Football or Basketball?
Ironic that both teams may end up wrecking their seasons by blowing games in Minnesota.
