Game Thread Nebrasketball Game #21: @ #3 Michigan - Tuesday, January 27th, 6:00pm Peacock

Yeah. It sucked to lose, but man you gotta be bullish on the direction of the program after last night. 13 Leo Curtis minutes on the road against a top 5 team.

Yep, and he looked like he belonged. I would like to see more of him than Garcia. Love where we are headed. Go Big Fred!

not to shamelessly plug but @...TrueColors... and I talked about this exact thing on the most recent tpbPod from last night. Couldn’t agree more

 

[Interloper]

So is an early exit in the B1G tourney a good thing ?

No...and especially if you're a top 4 seed, which we should be.

I am absolutely ASTONISHED Garcia was +6 last night. That is absurd

Not if we have 1 seed aspirations but of course it'll depend on our final regular season record.

• 29-2 all but guarantees us a 1 seed, regardless of the B1G tournament
• 28-3, with a quick exit (lose quarters) puts us in as a 2 seed
• 27-4/26-5 will put us, most likely, in as a 3 seed unless we win the B1G tournament then a 2 seed is back on the table

Reminder to everyone; this year, all B1G teams qualify for the B1G tournament. The top 4 are automatically in the quarterfinals like years past.

@SlumpBuster you asked about this, so here's what I have as of today. Better feel on this after next weeks games are finished.

Yeah that’s a bullshit metric then

Lead for 38 minutes of a game, and only 1 player is a plus? 😂

I think we used these exact words. They probably already listened to the pod

You get a week off regardless.

Didn't listen, but glad we agree. Go Big Fred.

"MrNebrasketball" goes after Stauskas for not knowing who Mast is, while spelling Rienk's first name wrong.

My fucking gawd Husker fans 🤦‍♂️

Do our old men need more than a week? Haha I kid

 

[Seaofred92]

Looks like our guys had plane issues coming back last night

2 straight road trips where our return flight has been delayed.

Dear Lord Baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the South call you: 'Hey-suz'.....

Because everyone but Curtis and Garcia played the full 40, or dose to it
