After having our way with Huskers twice already this year, this one makes me nervous. But then every NU bball game makes me nervous about our chances.

77.2% win probability. 5 point favorites.

If there's one team that our offensive limitations match well against is Nebraska. They are not tall or particularly athletic and have a coach who does not seem to believe much in teaching defense. In Lincoln, on offense, it felt a bit like we were playing Chicago State.

It’s Gainbridge Fieldhouse now. The Gainbridge people will no doubt be destroyed that the name hasn’t caught on.

I thought it had one or two years as just The Fieldhouse, but wiki informs me that Conseco (RIP, at least the corporate name) was the initial sponsor.

You're absolutely right. Thanks for the edit.

Funny thing is, I saw Bankers Life Fieldhouse on a BTT graphic that some media outlet tweeted. So I wasn't the only one.

Just drove, downtown Indy, through an intersection, on green, obviously, and slowed down on the opposite side as two guys were crossing/jaywalking. Slowed down and it was Tom Izzo on the phone. He waived thank you for slowing down. Hope he saw my big bad Wildcat vanity plate in the front of my car. Go cats.

Yah, right. Never should be that much of a favorite
