Getting all they can handle tonight from a pretty good Winthrop team.

Hope Essigian can turn it around soon, because if he’s not making threes he’s completely useless.

When Lawrence was a freshman I thought he had the makings of an All-Big Ten guard. He won’t get there this year, but he’s a solid player. Glad he’s back.

We would have lost this game just about every year until last year. Tried to piss it away in the last couple of minutes.

Since the 1970-71 season, Nebraska has only started a season 7-0 five times.

2025-2026
2023-2024
1992-1993
1984-1985

Nebraska had their best start going 10-0 in 1977-1978.

So I was curious and Lewis & Clarke’d the interwebs to find out that only the 2023-2024 team and the 1992-1993 team made the NCAA tournament.

1977-1978 team made it to 2nd round NIT. Started 10-0 but finished 12-8 to go 22-8.
1984-1985 team made it to 2nd round NIT.

Fingers crossed this team is the one that stays healthy and wins some NCAA tourney games.

Yeah I get it, but if you are under 30% from deep (and do not much else even close to B1G average skill-wise)…… you’re gonna continue to be a net negative every time you step on the floor.

He’s a streaky shooter. Watch and he’ll have a game where he goes 7 for 8 from 3. Fred knows how it works. He’ll probably end the year in the mid 3Os% from 3 or better.

Didn't watch, but not a very inspiring performance today.

Losing Essegian really stings. Takes a legit D1 shooter out of the rotation, and exposes Fred’s love affair with Nebraska walkons even more. SH and CJ are 5 min/half role players at best for legit tourney contenders. They can hit layups, but are not good shooters and are major liabilities against a press. Mast/Sandfort/Frager are ballers. Imagine how much better they could be with true threats around them…or even a mid-level PG.

I’m sorry he got hurt, but I don’t think Essegian is really a big loss. Sam was going to play mega minutes anyway, and Jacobson has been holding his own.

A week off before the in state battle. Only 5 games in the entire month of December. Wish we were playing some holiday tournament.
