If Nebraska held Michigan to just 2 points in the 2nd half

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Michigan still would have won the game......wow.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

Yeah...towards the end of the game I told my roommate that if we doubled our score at that point we would still be down by 6

Michigan was on tonight...and saying that we were off would be the understatement of the year. Congrats on the W.

what the heck happened to Nebraska tonight? I just saw the score at about halftime or so, and wow.


Michigan hot, Nebraska not able to get a bucket? It was just so lopsided...

Pretty much that. This year has really been a tale of 2 teams...tough at home and awful on the road. We only have 1 loss at home (1 pt vs. Michigan) but have yet to win a true road game.

 

[Texas Jefe]

weird how that works sometimes, that teams are really night/day different at home/road. Would think it would be more common, but I don't really think it is-

 

[Texas Jefe]

...that is to that extent.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

Yeah I think it has a lot to do with us having a pretty young team. On the positive side, they have done a good job of protecting the home court...hopefully with maturity we can learn to take the show on the road a little more. For being picked dead last by most at the start of this year, I think it's safe to say the year has been pretty successful so far despite the performance tonight.

And Michigan basically had the entire bench out for the last like 15 minutes. At one point there were all white guys on the floor lol.

Hey, how much did OSU beat Nebraska by?

 

[oaknightshockey1]

You want a cookie??

Well we did beat you guys the last time we played, so we might deserve one.

I thought I was watching a Nebraska team from yesteryear for a second

Isn't Michigan YOUNGER? Not letting guys(Everyone but Stauskas) take wide open shots would have helped the Huskers tonight.

Our starters are a freshman, 3 sophomores, and a senior. 2 of the 3 sophomores are in their first year playing at Nebraska. I know this will be shocking, but Nebraska's recruiting typically doesn't match up to Michigan's in basketball. Our program is headed in the right direction, but obviously it's not there yet.

 

[Red_Alert]

Yeah, Nebraska's not used to winning at home, much less on the road.

 

[broncosmitty]

MI also starts one freshman, three sophomores and a senior. No matter the age, Huskers basketball has seemed to be moving in the right direction. (Wasn't very long ago everybody had better recruiting than MI, things can get better quickly.)

Nebraska has improved, but still no huge accomplishment with the blowout. I will say scUM has impressed so far though. Should be a great finish in the B1G

Yes it's definitely moving in the right direction. It should be fun to watch what a good coach and a shiny new arena can do for the program. It's only year 2 with Miles and things are looking up.

Again, If I were you, I would not be so critical of a team that beat you not so long ago. We have already exceeded most peoples projections for wins in the B1G. I suppose it says something about OSU if you feel the need to put down a basketball powerhouse like Nebraska.

 

[LoftonPack80]

And those sophomores made a deep tourney run that adds tons of experience to your resume. Young in age but lots of experience in Michigan

I don't think shane meant it that way. Nebraska is not where they need to be mentally to be competitive against good teams on the road. They've had some good wins at home but they were down to the wire. Getting hammered on the road to #10 Michigan just tells me they've got a lot of growing up to do.

No biggie.
