Well, It's Groundhog Day... Again | After Nebrasketball
•
Another weekend road game, another blowout loss for Nebraska. Jack and Kaleb are back for another episode of basketball fan groundhog day from hell. Among the topics:
- Nebraska changed the starting lineup like the guys hoped they would, but it didn't matter.
- Jack has moved into the acceptance phase with Brice Williams.
- The unthinkable possibility that Nebraska was better without their two best and most experienced players coming into the season on the floor.
- How in the world do these teams keep breaking program three-point records against Nebraska? And how things won't change defensively.
- A positive, albeit a fleeting one, that the guys hadn't seen for a a couple weeks.
They also wonder if they can turn things around and if there's still time. Is that even possible right now?
They finish with a live hit from Jacob Bigelow who covered the game in person in Madison, along with his thoughts on what he saw.
