Nebrasketball Talk…

[V-Doub]

So, We’re 20-0 and probably playing our best ball of the season. My question is… How shitty would we have to play to get beat by 10 plus pts right now? Nobody else has come even close to beating us by double digits, much less beating us by any margin. Why would Tuesday be any different? I mean, I can see us losing this game, it’s at Michigan and they’re really good. But tell me why Michigan is gonna do what nobody else could even come close to doing? I think Nebraska plus the points is a fuckin lock. Tell me what you think…

Spoiler

BTW, if you bet on Nebraska based on my logic (which I may) please don’t murder me if I’m wrong. Thank you 🙏🏻

I can tell you this...aside from one game where the scrubs messed it up, we've been REALLY REALLY good against the spread for a long while now.

My concerns are....we haven't faced a lot of teams with a bunch of athletic dudes that jump out of the gym. MSU has a few of these guys but Michigan has more. And they're more skilled than a guy like Coen Carr is.

We seem to match up better with Illinois, who has a bunch of eastern European guys who have similar athletic ability to our bigs.


Michigan is just a bad, bad physical matchup for us. We can win but it would be unlikely. I don't know what to do with that spread but I don't see Nebraska winning.

Frager is the one guy we have with jump-out-of-the-gym athletic ability and he won't even be there. Just a bad matchup. Very bad.

Was that announced?

No

Just guessing that we'll hold him & make sure he's 100% for Illinois

Great teams get run out opposing gyms all the time. Its not unusual.

Fwiw though, I do think both Nebraska and Michigan's metrics are a bit "out of whack." The Wolverines have been riding the coattails of their November and December ass kickings for a few months now.

On the contrary, Nebraska has been downgraded a bit because they struggled vs the likes of USC-Upstate, Maryland - Eastern Shore, Winthrop, and North Dakota.

Spread should probably be closer.
