Need to win these next 3 badly
@Iowa
@Rutgers

16-3 I think this placement is justified

Nebrasketball getting some love here.
- Thread starter big red23
- Start date
I agree with this; however- this is a GIANT “IF”. While these are all certainly winnable games, two on the road is a lot to expect.
Winning on the road in the Big Ten is hard. Most teams have struggled on the road this year.
Bare minimum for wins, most likely. Best to get 1 or 2 more than that to reduce any doubt.
They can possibly win 25-27. They have beaten 2 of the 3 most talented teams theyll face all season. I actually think 20 is the floor for this team at this point. 28 is on the table as of right now.
These are the kind of opinions that have looked laughable in the past by the end if the year. I hope this is the year thats different.
The minnesota debacle is fresh in my mind still. Purdue was a big win. Now easily winning a game against a team they SHOULD beat on the road might be even bigger for this seasons hopes,
They win 28 they will win the Big 10 and be a 1 seed
@Illinois is going to be tough
I think 24 is reachable, I think that is their peak
We beat Kansas State by 16 on the road and they are better than Iowa and Rutgers. It is not impossible like you are acting like here. I understand you are referring to losing to Minnesota, but they are also better than Iowa and Rutgers. We will most likely win 3-4 road games IMO
That would be great just have had the rug pulled out so many times since as long as I can remember
The realistic odds say we will win one of the next three games but I would take two of them in a heartbeat. The game in Iowa City tomorrow night is probably the toughest of the three. Fred beat Fran twice last year and it is still bugging him. Fran looks at the game tomorrow night like it is a "must' win.
When you count possible conference tourney wins & maybe a NCAA tourney win, this team has a great chance to break the NU season win record.
I don’t miss him either, although he’s given Washington some decent minutes. They play zone defense, which better suits him, and Hopkins has apparently convinced him he’s not a 3-pt shooter.
Possibly win 20???? All they have to do to get to 20 is hold home court, don't even need to win a single game on the road or in the tournament. I certainly understand doubters of Husker Hoops because whenever they have given us hope this time of year it quickly fades away. I would think they should get to 22 wins.
Nebraska will have all they can handle with Iowa and Rutgers on the road. Nebraska could win 19-26 games this season and it wouldn't surprise me much. They just have to get some road wins in the BIG and they expectations will skyrocket.
The Hoiskers shot out of their minds in 2 important stretches against Purdue. I've seen enough Nebrasketball that I'm not considering that a trend yet. Play well and escape with a Road W tonight and move on.
