Calling my shot.

Huskers cruise in their next three.

Arizona plays @BYU on Monday 1/26. Mormons win.

Nebraska plays @Michigan on Tuesday 1/27 where they will get the win over everyone’s darling. Nebraska plays Illinois at home on Sunday 2/1 where we complete the season sweep (already won on the road, so at home will be EZ).

Once this series of events plays out, there will be no way we are not #1.

If we go 5 and 0 over the next couple weeks including beating Michigan on the road, And handing a very good Illinois team a second loss.....Then hell yes we should jump to number 1. We have a tough stretch coming in the next 3 weeks. I honestly believe that we drop 2 game in the stretch from Jan 17 - Feb 10. We play # 4 michigan. #5 Purdue. and # 13 Illinois. No one in the BIG is a guaranteed win. We will have to continue to play exceptionally well.

Honestly I would prefer that we have a loss or two going into the BIG tourney and the NCAAs. I don't want this team to fall victim to what our VB team did.
