Game Thread Nebraska @ Wisconsin [1:15pm BTN]

[HCFord1]

Perhaps I'm just an idiot Here, living a life of delusion. I imagine Wisconsin will be about a 7.5 to 9 point favorite. But I just can't stop thinking about a few things:


- Hoiberg has won his last two matchups vs. Greg Gard. That includes a win in Madison at the end of the 21-22 season. And this current Husker team is MUCH better.
- Teams that give Nebraska fits are teams that shoot the ball well from 3. The Huskers are going to die before they give up easy baskets at the rim. They are going to double team the post and trap along the baseline. This allows teams more open looks from the perimeter. But Wisconsin, isn't a very good shooting team from downtown. They have the 3rd fewest made 3s and 3rd worst shooting percentage in the league.

- They don't block shots and they don't rebound very well on the defensive end.


Magic # in the game for the Huskers:

73 points.

Wisconsin has lost 20 straight games where they have allowed 73 points or more.
Nebraska is 24-1 in their last 25 games of scoring 73 points or more.

What’s Wisconsin’s record when they score 100?

only thing that gets less calls than the Wisconsin OLine is their basketball team at home.

Fuck off Essegian

You just knew that when @Cornicator makes a post talking about Wisconsin’s poor 3 pt shooting that they were gonna come out and shoot 60%+ today.

Everytime we get excited some poor shooting team shoots 80% from deep on us

We should be used to it. It happens in football too.

 

[jickey moseph]

Fuck Wisconsin

I guess swiping someone's hand hard enough to draw blood isn't a foul in Madison.

This reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.

Hopefully we get karma for this game Tuesday and Purdoodoo can't shoot worth a shit and Edey gets Covid.

 

[Mr.Bojangles]

Agreed and that hair is ridiculous.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

To be fair we'd have lost by 29 in years past.
