That's bullshit. We ain't losing to Michigan

I actually think it's dangerous for basketball, volleyball, or soccer teams to go into the postseason sporting an undefeated record.

While it means you're an elite team, there is also a tendency to think about your streak instead of winning a championship. Instead of focusing on winning, you're trying not to lose.

Watching Dusty May yesterday in his post game presser following the Wisconsin loss, he almost seemed relieved they lost.

Completely agree with this. Too much pressure - especially for a school like Nebraska who's never won an NCAA tournament game.

Wouldn't worry about this for our team of grown men.
 
You probably should get the next four games. They’re not easy. But I don’t think they’re as difficult as the slate has been to this point.

Oregon
@Northwestern
Washington
@Minnesota

That puts you 20-0 headed to Michigan.

January was the month that I worried about. Fred since 2022-2023 is 8-17 in the month of January and it’s by far his worst month. Even if you split the next 4 you’re in great shape. I wouldn’t hate winning the next 4 though..
 
I'm gonna zag and say win every game because the pressure that this team has baked in for that first tournament game is basically at the absolute ceiling anyways
At no point, ever, should we be hoping for Nebrasketball to lose a game. Hell, an undefeated regular season would get a banner hung alone
