Stay Tuned for Details

I'm gonna pass on watching that one. This team has basically given up and it's just zero fun watching the worst P5 team in the country play knowing that they just don't care.

KenPom Favors the Huskers in the game!

If you are hungry for Wins You might Miss Out on our Third Conference Win!

EDIT: Or NOT! :Redface:

Can lowly NU beat lowly NW or are we destined for a last place finish?

 

[Red Don]

The 'Skinny' (from another site :Redface

Players to watch: Pat Spencer
If you don't know who Pat Spencer is you'd probably be a great candidate for jury duty. Spencer is a graduate transfer from Loyola where he was one of the best lacrosse players in Div-1, winning the Tewaaraton Award last year. Instead of moving on to a professional lacrosse career, Spencer decided he wanted to play college ball and chose Northwestern. While he struggles with his outside shot, he's an excellent FT shooter and leads the team in assists.

Players to watch: Boo Buie
The freshman PG is aggressive scorer who currently isn't shooting well and the Huskers should take their chances on Buie beating them.

The Skinny:
Here we are at the last home game for Nebraska and probably the best chance for either team to break their double digit losing streaks. Northwestern is going to attempt to make Nebraska beat them from 3 and Nebraska most likely will return the favor. As much as it felt like NW torched Nebraska back in January it was a manageable 34.5%.

Northwestern has some nice pieces but Nebraska should be able to scheme around them. Look for the Huskers to finally win one though like most everything this year it probably won't be smooth nor easy.

Prediction: Nebraska 75 - Northwestern 70

I actually think they are the opposite of giving up, they play HARD every game. They just don't have the collective talent to hang with any team with a pulse this season. Today's game would be the one to watch, we actually have a solid chance at getting the win.

Absolutely agree. They play hard, they're just not very good and they have no depth at all.
