Sweet 16 is a reach right now! Let's see how they look when conference season gets here
I will go out on a limb and say it is the best team this year. After that we will see.Best team in decades is a premature statement. Best team of the Fred era by far.
I still feel it is exceeding expectations to get a bid to the NCAA tournament.
5-0 is a great start and also is exceeding expectations. Need to see the competition level increase before getting too wound up.
You said it first. Though NIT is part of march madness?If we stay healthy, the Huskers will be playing in March Madness. Very impressed in all facets of the game today. They will make it tough on the Big 10 teams this year.
Well done Coach Hoiberg!
Creighton losing big to Colo St might mean the NU game will be interesting.Lets see how we do vs Creighton, then reset some goals
I’m not talking NIT. NU is not an NIT team. They are a Jim Nance, Clark Kellogg, NCAA tournament team.You said it first. Though NIT is part of march madness?
I don’t think Creighton can beat NU at home.Lets see how we do vs Creighton, then reset some goals
Creighton losing big to Colo St might mean the NU game will be interesting.
This was my initial thought as well but after thinking about it McDermott is too good of a coach not to have them ready no matter what. Probably still upset about last year As well. NU will get their best shot.I would have preferred that they won this game and came into Lincoln undefeated. Now they have had some weaknesses exposed and are probably pissed.
Yup. They will be ready. I’m sure their annoying fans will find a way to infiltrate some seats, too. I’m not sure I will be able to make the game yet. If I can’t, they either go to a Nebraska fan or I will straight up eat the cost. No way I’m letting a Creighton fan sit in those seats, lol.This was my initial thought as well but after thinking about it McDermott is too good of a coach not to have them ready no matter what.

Id be ok with 3 and 3 in this stretchYup. They will be ready. I’m sure their annoying fans will find a way to infiltrate some seats, too. I’m not sure I will be able to make the game yet.

The next 6 games can either set the table or really hurt the resume. Have to find a way to split Creighton/K-State and Minnesota/Sparty. North Dakota and SC State come around the holiday break where it’s difficult to be locked in. If we can get out of this stretch 4-2 with the splits I mentioned, that will set us up nicely at 11-2 (1-1). The back part of the conference schedule sets up nicely. But if we lose confidence and don’t split those first Big 10 games, it could get really ugly fast (like all the other Hoiberg teams. It’s not completely implausible to go 0-6 or 1-5 in our first six conference games.
Creighton
@ Minnesota
Michigan State
@ Kansas State
North Dakota
South Carolina State
This would be a phenomenal achievement for NU bb. Eliminate that black mark of shame.I'd be happy with a Tournament visit and our first ever NCAA tournament win.
