Because we haven't watched the basketball team completely shit the bed over and over. Also, because this team is still playing for something bigger than third place in their division.

I was at the northwestern game and was just happy to win. You take road wins anyway you can get them and those were two examples of that. Plus it was just a great end to the game.

I'll say that the Nebraska game felt to me like it was played at a very high level(regardless of season context) and could've easily been a goals-diminishing loss. You look at your basketball goals--making the tourney, winning the B1G regular and tournament, sweeping State, winning the NCAA tournament(even less likely)...All these goals are still attainable(some of them unlikely I grant you) and most of them more attainable because of the exciting win. Northwestern was really fun and at the end improbable...but our goals were already shot. That's the difference.
