Re: Nebraska Basketball 2021-2022

Nebraska was a 17 point favorite last night and lost. No doubt about it here we go again. There were signs of a weak and lazy defense in the first game against Peru State. This Nebraska team is going to have a rough year again and it looks like Creighton is almost a for sure loss next week. Nebraska...

Creighton plays Nebraska in Lincoln a week from tomorrow. With all the changes at Creighton the Huskers playing at home might actually have a chance. I don't think that at all. The Huskers will get beat by 10 or 20 points would be my guess. Have not seen any points on this game yet.
