Go Corn vs Wisky open thread
Bad no call.
Just do it Nebraska, start a hockey team. I know you're next up
hopefully soon to be 15-1. So glad Michigan got a win at Nebraska on a close game. That was a huge win for Michigan though we didn't know at the time that Nebraska was going to be a tough out from then on.
1:36 to go. Nebraska shooting FTs.
Basketball god made sure that one went in
71-64 with 50.2 to go. Nebraska has the ball.
M is going to win the B10 by 3 full games. unreal
screw sconnie!
Getting ready to rush the court only up 7 with :50.2 to go. That's no guarantee. They're asking for a soul-crushing defeat
Nebraska fans used telekinesis to put that 1st one in.
the court. 71-64 with :50 to go.
There is a court storm brewing...
..which is justified - their first tourney bid in 16 years is a big deal.
has never won a NCCA tourney game. Ever.
Yes, a tourney bid would be a big deal.
This game is their if they don't blow it. Good time out.
Nebraska so tight and so ready to choke.... If there was more time left this would be sad. But I think they can get out of here with the W
that some day we're going to regret rooting for Nebraska. Just not yet, though.
But a coach by the name of Tim Miles might be in the process of creating a monster.
We NEED more students near the court after the atmosphere Nebraska had today
We're 45-4 at home the last three years. Our homecourt advantage ain't bad.
Always root for improvement though.
So who wants to face Nebraska in the B1G Tourny?
The Ohio-Purdue winner will have that privilege.
If it's not in Lincoln, I'm fine with it. They're playing better on the road, but we still just absolutely annhilated them in Crisler.
Bo Pelini always looks confused.
Nebraska needs to lock up Tim Miles to a lifetime contract immediately.
Shields and Petteway would be a cool duel with Nik and Caris in BTT. Unless Nik comes back next year, they'll be the best wing combo in the B1G.
Also, mark down a top 50 RPI win for us.
Yep, was just going to post this.
With Nebraska and Minnesota winning, that keeps all 4 wins over the two as vs top 50 rpi
DOUBLE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BLUE
Close up of Bo Pelini not understanding how to act with a lead over Wisconsin.
Nebraska never won a game in the NCAA?!!!
football school you see
Yeah, we used to be too. Now it looks like we're both basketball schools.
They had a very good year already. Tournament will be bonus.
I maintain that Nebraska fans are tempting fate
any POY or COY votes from M.
Michigan
Expected: 2nd, Actual: 1st
Nebraska
Expected: 12th, Actual: 4th
I actually think this is close to a no brainer but that won't save MGoBlog from being shocked when Miles wins it
We were expected to finish 2nd when McGary went down?
but unless I missed it, they don't release new preseason media polls after every Big Ten game
The people who vote are aware of what Beilein has done. They don't need to look at a preseason poll to know that winning the league outright - by 3 games - without McGary is a hell of an accomplishment.
Oh yea we swept Tim Miles and the 2nd game was a blowout, just for good measure.
I'd work an contract extension with Tim Miles ASAP. Look at the crowd and they are starting to believe in Nebraska. Nebraska is in great hands with him as the HC
So is Nebraska comfortably in now? What if they lose their first BTT game? Still feeling good even then?
Edit: BTN said only once has an 11-win B1G not gone to the tourney. That 19-11 record looks suspect but it looks like they're in good shape
they have to be in. they get the OSU/Purdont winner, which means worst case is they lose to OSU. that shouldn't knowck out a 11-7 B10 team.
If we can beat the Neb/osu winner, and minnesota can win a couple games, we will be in with a good 2 seed.
20-11 would look so much better for the selection comittee.
