Nebraska Drops First Game of the Season In 75-72 Heartbreaker at Michigan | Nebrasketball Hour
Welp, for a loss, that was a blast.
For the first time this year, Jack and Kaleb convene on the Nebraketball Hour after a loss and try to sort out what in the world they make of a severely shorthanded Nebraska team going on the road against the odds-on favorite to win the national championship and leading nearly wire-to-wire only to run out of gas in the final minutes. As Jack works through his immediate reaction he lands on a multiple choice question about the rest of the season that is either REALLY bad for Michigan or REALLY good for Nebraska.
The guys go through the box score and marvel at Nebraska ending up with very pedestrian three point and FG% numbers, they try and describe their pleasant shock and Leo Curtis scoring on some of the best big men in the league, and Cale Jacobsen at times terrorizing the Michigan offense while making huge clutch shots.
And then, despite the valiant performance, the small things that went wrong, any one of which could have changed the outcome of the game and led to mass hysteria in the state, from Berke missing a few bunnies to Jamarques not being able to find points in the second half, to a game of questionable calls on both sides that went against Nebraska in crunch time.
Finally, a look at what’s ahead, and the bizarre feeling that a lot of Husker fans have coming out of this game more confident about this team than they did coming in at 20-0, a preview of the game against Illinois, a check in on the other things happening in the Big Ten, and a deep dive into the outcomes required to be a top 2 seed in March.
Pinch yourselves, Husker fans. Tonight wasn’t the end, it was the beginning of the next level.
