I think Nebby loses the next two games @Indiana and @OSU.

When a starved program experiences that kind of sudden success, there’s almost certainly going to be those head scratching moments of consistency, simply because the program is just not used to that territory.

We learned this in 2022 with our football team. Pretty much the lone exception would be Indiana football.

Someone tell Nebraska that Saved By the Bell called and wants their uniforms back.

 

[Illini in Italy]

Nebula schooling tOSU so far, 27-17 at the under 8 TO, 1H.

tOSU shooting 37%, 1-6 from 3, getting out rebounded 5-12. On their home court.

I was hoping they would put up a good fight tonight.

 

[BBlock24]

Nebby vs OSU is a good one with 14 mins left. Nebby up 43-41.

You might be getting your wish. 2 pt game now with 14 min left

 

[FeelYourPaign]

tOSU takes their first lead off the game with 10:24 remaining

It only lasted 20 seconds. Could be a good finish

 

[Illini in Italy]

tOSU comes back to take the lead . . . Just to give it back. A good game now

 

[kyillinifan]

Nb in a close one again.

I've enjoyed Nebraska's run for the most part (outside of one game) but I'm hoping OSU pulls this out. helps us out, I think

 

[Rebounding Dog]

WTF? Do these guys only catch fire when the play us? Maybe Bruce will take over! Ready for the Nebby run to end

Just when I thought Ohio would catch fire, the opposite happens. Nebraska now up 7 with just over 2 minutes remaining

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

This aged poorly. Lol

Edit: Back come the Buckeyes

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Announcers just said that bench points are
Nebraska 19, tOSU 0
Unreal

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Two point game under a minute.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

15-0 for Nebraska.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Huskers getting help from the refs. We sure didn’t when we were at OSU.

 

[mysterio2525]

Ohio State is the Michael Jordan of giving away winnable games

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Nebraska closes it out, wins by 3.
Nebby understanding of clock and foul management is top level

 

[kyillinifan]

Man is Nb about the luckiest team in America. They could be 0-4 in the BT.

 

[Iamgroot]

Just got done watching end of Nebraska game.it had me thinking did iu and Nebraska flip flop from basketball to football?anybody else think that?

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

26 total fouls in the Nebraska/OSU game and a number of those were intentional in the last two minutes of the game.

There were 49 fouls in the Michigan/USC game on Friday. Michigan shot 30 3s and USC shot 23 so it's not like they were only playing in the paint.

The inconsistency in officiating is such a glaring problem.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Oregon and Rutgers in a 1 point game now with about 5 to go

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Oregon losing to Rutgers on peacock. 4min to go.
