Unfortunately the Husker women’s team faces off against Iowa in the championship game at the same time:

Husker’s up 50-43 over Michigan at the half.

Keisei with 23 points and 5 boards at the half.

They did it! Nebraska won 85-70 and clinched themselves a double bye in the Big Ten Tournament.

And we got another Big 10 road win.

And with the results yesterday, we will play either Michigan, Penn State or Indiana.

I noticed there has been some chatter online about Hoiberg being in contention for coach of year in the Big 10.

Here's the bracket in case anyone wants to see it:

We somehow missed Keisei. 2nd team coaches, 3rd team media:

Indiana just beat Penn State 61-59. So they'll be playing Nebraska tomorrow night.

Never easy to beat the same team 3 times in one season.

I agree, but I actually think the matchup with Indiana is better for the Huskers than it would be with Penn St.

Not surprising, Juwan Howard is out as Michigan's coach:

My favorite moment from Juwan Howard's playing career is from the 2010-2011 season when he was with the Heat and they were playing the Lakers. Ron Artest was chasing a loose ball out of bounds, realized he wasn't going to get it, and then dove into the Heat bench and knocked a couple people over, including Juwan Howard. Juwan jumped up like he was going to do something, saw it was Ron Artest, and then picked his chair up off the ground and sat back down without saying a word.

That’s funny, never heard that story.

It's halftime now. And Nebraska's leading 50-27. Incredible! I'm AMAZED! I didn't expect Nebraska to do so good. They got 12 3-pointers.

They really got hot the last few minutes of the half. Wow.

You could really hear the Nebraska fans, looks like a bunch of them.

No kidding. I don't know what Nebraska's been doing right this season, but they should keep it up.

Indiana’s coach Mike Woodson just got his second technical and has been ejected.

Clearly frustrated.

Game's over. Nebraska won 93-66. They'll play Illinois tomorrow afternoon on CBS.

Was glad we got to play our younger guys and walk-ons at the end with such a quick turnaround..

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Fri Mar 15, 2024 11:30 pm

If you watched the game tonight, especially the first half you saw these guys reacting when Nebraska led by Tominaga got red hot. He obviously has achieved some level of cult status in the league, not just Nebraska:

I expect Illinois to be more of a challenge. They're a pretty good team this year, too.

Yeah they are the 2 seed and are favored. It would be an upset if Nebraska wins.

I will go on record saying that Nebraska will beat Ill this afternoon.

It sets up nicely for the Huskers. They have never lost a semi-final Game in the B1G tournament. Don't let the fact that they have never played in a Semi-Final game of the B1G tournament stand in the way of believing the streak continues.

I was really pulling for Ohio Stare to knock out Illinois yesterday.
