So I realize many of our frustrated right now. I thought at Iowa, we played poorly overall but the loss at MD we played really well even though we didnt get it done on the road which would have been an upset. So rather stay all frustrated heres the deal for our beloved Husker team.......more talented and experienced then any team since Neebasketball.
This 8 game skid is set up for us to need to go at least 5-3. But this is very doable. If we can do that, we end up 50/50 in the big ten with a then a very, very favorable 5 game skid of at purdue, minn at home, NW at home, at pstate, and purdue at home. No reason we dont go 4-1 there as we will be favored in every game in that stretch. That would put us at 10-7 with at Mich at at M state being losses to go 10-9 with the final game a revenge home night against iowa (senior night). Im saying we dont lose that game and then are 11-9 in big ten play. Puts us in the tourny IMO. This is all very dobable for this team. The only thing this team has NOT done in Big ten play to this point that myself and most pundits would have expected, was for us to win one of the away games of Minn, iowa, or MD. Otherwise we are right where we should have expected this team to be.
Lots of fun left in this season. Honestly I believe the biggest issue these last few weeks is that weve been tested so little this year and had so many easy wins, this team needed to be reminded of how tougher Big 10 play is compared to what happened prior. A veteran team should have known that, but has forgot. Hopefully these last few weeks have reminded them.
GBR this will be fun!
