Nebrasketball’s “toughness” wasn’t really questioned a ton in their 20-0 start to the year, but now has the last 6 games…what has changed? Feb 19, 2026

Show notes

-Nebraska has never been an elite rebounding team, but it wasn’t questioned a lot with how they won their first 20 games of

the year. Now, we continue to wonder about rebounding issues over the past 6 games and what can be fixed

-Are we seeing a team not working as hard as it did when things were easier in the winning? Too many times the smallest guy

on the court---Sam Hoiberg—is the only one diving for loose balls and somehow leading the team in rebounding. Why?

Maybe next year won’t be so bad for Husker football? One national writer thinks much higher of Nebraska that most of the fanbase Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

-Way-too-early Bowl game projections mean absolutely nothing write now…but it does provide some insight into how national media

perceives different programs based on their offseasons so far

-On3’s Brett McMurphy released his bowl projections and has Nebraska playing in Ole Miss in the Music City Bowl---again, the bowl

projection means little---but that particular bowl game probably means an 8 or 9 win season, which very few expect here…

How much did last night’s results in the B1G change the postseason picture and what about tonight’s games? Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

-We’ve already mentioned Nebraska/Iowa and Michigan/Purdue, but now we need to look at last night cumulatively with the

other 3 games (Wisconsin/Ohio State; UCLA/Michigan State; and Minnesota/Oregon)…what’s changed heading into the rest of

the week?

-Don’t forget 3 games tonight: Rutgers/Penn State (5pm, BTN); Maryland/Northwestern (7pm, BTN); and the big

one…Illinois/USC (9pm, BTN)…big chance for a tough road win for the Illini

Michigan played at Purdue in a Top 10 matchup at Mackey Arena…did the Wolverines get another massive road win? Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

-The new AP poll out on Monday had Michigan at No. 1 and receiving all but 1 first place vote---that went to Houston, who then went

on to lose to Iowa State the same night

-Did Michigan puff out its chest and back up its No. 1 ranking or did Purdue extend a nice run of basketball and get the huge home win?

Nebrasketball played at Iowa last night…did they get a massive road win or is there now doubt about being a top 4 team in the conference? Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

-Prior to the game, Nebraska’s losses were all to very good teams---top 10 teams, at that (Michigan, Purdue, Illinois). Did they get their

first loss to an unranked team or get another big win to further verify how good they are?

-Did Rienk Mast bounce back after a rough outing vs. Northwestern? And what about Pryce Sandfort in his return to the school he

played at last year?
