Nebraska lost to Iowa in what Jack calls one of the worst basketball games he has ever seen. The guys try to determine exactly why the Nebraska offense was fully impotent for much of the night, even when it looked like they found something that worked. The guys explain the brutal truth they learned about this Iowa team and why that makes the loss even harder to swallow. They also take a look at February Rienk Mast vs. November Rienk Mast. Finally, a discussion on what the loss means in terms of seeding and standings, and the thing so many people seem to be forgetting when they estimate Nebraska’s likely seed placement.The Nebrasketball Hour is proudly sponsored by Nebraska Realty!

The Huskers do it again! A weird, kind of bad half, and then they run away with it, beating Northwestern 68-49. But before the good, the guys dissect the unusual turnover-fest, where the Huskers through basically the same amount of interceptions in one 10-minute stretch of basketball as Aaron Rodgers did the entire 2025 NFL season. And while Rienk Mast seemed completely recovered from his illness a week ago against Rutgers, he had a hard time of it today. The guys try to identify how much of that had to do with a minor pregame injury and evaluate their level of concern.But, like beautiful Spring morning, the sun rose in the second half as Nebraska held Northwestern to 15 points over the last 17ish minutes of the game. Kaleb identifies the key adjustments Nebraska made to turn the tide and how Sam’s defense turned into Pryce points (was that a "quiet" 29?). And meanwhile… was this Cale Jacobsen’s best ever game at Nebraska? Are we victims of recency bias?It’s a Split Vote on the Ryan Anderson Memorial (he’s not dead) MVP award; you tell us if Jack or Kaleb was right! Finally, another wet spot on the floor, the lights randomly going out, more stories from Kaleb at PBA, an oddly favorable Big Ten Tourney situation that may be developing, and a look ahead to a late night roadie to Iowa on Tuesday.The Nebrasketball Hour is proudly sponsored by Nebraska Realty!
