Cool to see former Husker QB (and Bengals current HC) Zac Taylor and his son supporting NU at the game last night:

Comedian/Actor Chris Tucker was there. Saw a clip of him on the floor with an Indiana flag.

Unless they have a game where they are completely embarrassed, I think two wins in the last four get them into the tourney.
With Nebraska basketball we obviously can’t take anything for granted. This was a great first step in the final 5.
You got that right. Of course, we have to get through the Big Ten Tournament first. I'm not expecting Nebraska to win it, but I think they can at least make an impression.

Honestly I am not looking that far ahead. There next 4 games are too important.

Same here

IF somehow we could win out or a small possibility, even at 3-1, we could end up with the double buy in the conf Tourny. IF we somehow pulled that off, I don't care if we go 0-1 in conf. Not playing on Wed or Thur would be a big enough win. Don't take it wrong either I want to see a win (s) but the reg season finish is more important to me right now than the conf tourny.

NU up 28-20 over Minnesota at the half. We know big leads aren’t safe against the Gophers.

When we lost to Minnesota earlier in the year I thought Minnesota was going to finish dead last in the conference. I was wrong and wasn’t sleeping on the game today.

I just checked the Big Ten rankings. And surprisingly, Michigan is dead last. Their overall record this year is 8-20. They have no chance of making the Big Dance next month.

Yeah I think Juwan Howard is dead man walking right now. A complete mess in Ann Arbor. It's funny just a few years ago e seemingly had things set for a great run.

Just keep winning. Loved the Husker Power chants with a couple minutes to go in yesterday's game. So loud coming through the TV.

They hustle so much. Has helped when the shots are falling like the first half yesterday.

Looking back over the last few games, was this year the first time Nebraska has won at Assembly Hall since joining the Big 10?

While interesting, THere is a reason they play the complete season. That being said i would rather be here for a partial season ranking near the end of the season vs only the beginning

Per page 107 of the 2022-23 Media guide, here are some stats.

Indiana is 5- 3 against the Huskers in Assembly Hall

Overall Huskers 7-18
At In Lincoln Huskers 4-8
at Pinnacle Husker 2-5
In Bloomington Huskers 3-8
In Assembly Huskers 3-5
B1G tourny Husker 0-1
Hoosier Classic Huskers 0-1

Looks like the Huskers won vs Indiana on the road in 2019, 2016, 2014

Note this is last year's media guide, which is online.

With Wisconsin losing last night at Indiana, Nebraska is now tied with Wisconsin for 4th in the Big 10.

As sure as anything on the internet. ;) I have seen it stated in multiple places that we have the tiebreaker over WIS, but I have not dug into it.

I had to do a little checking. Nebr does own the tiebreaker as it stands now. IF the head-to-head is split, then it goes to the overall record.

They have been better since they fired their coach. 2 and 1 I believe including a win over Purdue.
