Nebraska beats USC 82-67 and the guys, justifiably spend much of the show swooning about Sam Hoiberg after he solidified his status as difference-maker, changing the trajectory of the game in the second half after having spent much of the first in foul trouble.And ohhhh, baby, that second half! Was Jack vindicated after his claim that the Nebraska Offense needs to push pace to get back to their old selves? Are we ready to say Old Rienk is back? Was Chad Baker Mazara the most winded player you’ve ever seen in an athletic competition? All of the questions are answered.Plus, a second divided Ryan Anderson Memorial (he’s not dead) MVP award, Jack goes off on "predictive metrics," and the immediate reaction to how this game and other results today change the seeding and NCAA location picture in ways that we didn’t expect coming into the game.Finally, a preview of UCLA and the guys’ late nights night watch party coming up on the I-80 Club YouTube channel Tuesday night!Support the I-80 Club Road Show by buying a hoodie here.

Nebraska had the home fans nervous through 75% of the game against Maryland, and then their early-season offense showed up, as Rienk Mast reverted to something much closer to his early season form and the Huskers end up winning comfortable again as a big favorite. Jack and Kaleb convene after the game to try and not use hindsight in describing just now nervous they were, and take a look at what seemed to holding the Huskers’ offense back during the first half (besides just missing shots).On the other hand, Jack explains why his takeaway from the game won’t be the first 75% of the game, but instead, the last ten minutes where the Nebraska offense came alive, and the surprise player he thinks was the key to the suddenly alive offense.The guys disagree on the Ryan Anderson Memorial (he’s not dead) Player of the Game and break down the horse race Nebraska will have with Purdue and Illinois, not only for conference tourney placement, but in sorting out #7-11 in the current committee rankings.And finally, before Nebraska takes on USC, the guys talk about a weirdly exciting Thursday and Friday night of Big Ten basketball coming up in the 48 hours after the show, and an up-to-the minute look at the current Big Ten Conference Tournament bracket!Support the I-80 Club Road Show by buying a hoodie here.
