Will we get the NCAA tournament monkey off of our backs?

Nebraska needs to block out. If you remember the game at Buttgers, we gave up 25 (!!) offensive rebounds to them, leading to them out rebounding Nebraska by 14 boards, shooting 12 more shots, and ultimately winning as a result.

IF (and it’s a big if) Nebraska puts bodies on players to keep the rebounding margin essentially even, we should be able to eventually outscore them. But if we do a classic Nebraska thing where we just stand and look at the rim waiting for the ball, TAMU will go around us and get boards to score.

In a sense, TAMU and UH are great opponents to play back to back. Very similar scouting reports and sized teams, UH just does what TAMU does on a totally different level. One game at a time but if NU plays TAMU well and wins the game then that bodes well for a R32 game also.

Unless Houston loses.
