After Slow Start, Nebraska Pulls Away From Maryland 74-61! | Nebrasketball Hour
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!

Nebraska Bounces Back and ROLLS Penn State! | Nebrasketball Hour
01:05:29|What a change of pace for the Nebrasketball Hour crew, as Jack traded in despair tinged with rage lingering from the Iowa loss for a “wildly pleasant afternoon” as Nebraska cruised past Penn State 87-64.First, the latest on the injury to J-Law and Berke’s situation. Then, with Pryce Sandfort tying the school’s single game three-point shooting record and going for 33, the guys ask, "is he back" or more accurately "was he ever gone?" Perhaps the former question is better applied to Braden Frager, and Kaleb and Jack both lay out what they saw tonight that indicate perhaps he’s gotten over some of the lingering effects of his ankle injury.Plus, some more important questions:At what point in the second half did Penn State have it up to here with Same Hoiberg "trying" so much?Did we just figure out exactly the way Jared Garcia should be used?Why Rienk Mast still just seems... different?What about the Committee’s top 16 was annoying Jack today.Why the risk of Nebraska being "caught from behind" in the tourney pecking order may be less than you think.Finally, your chance to join the Road Crew to support the guys’ NCAA Road Show, wherever the Huskers are sent for Round 1, AND get some exclusive gear to wear proudly around town.

Nebraska Fall To Iowa 57-52; Are We Concerned? | Nebrasketball Hour
59:08|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!
