A quick look at tonight’s other 2 B1G hoops games beyond Nebraska/Michigan Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

-Michigan State plays at Rutgers at 5:30pm on FS1, and Purdue plays at Indiana at 8pm on Peacock

-Purdue has already lost 2 straight games…it would be a big story if they lost a 3 rd straight game in losing at Indiana (and a warning for

Nebraska if they lose tonight that a streak could follow)…

Nebrasketball has been an elite 2 nd half team this season…do they have enough firepower to take down No. 2 Michigan on the road if they are trailing? Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

-Indiana led Nebraska by 16 points in the 2 nd half and lost; Minnesota led by 8 in the 2 nd half and lost by 19…these are obviously teams

not the level of the Huskers

-Can you imagine if Nebraska is trailing at half or in the 2 nd half tonight and comes back and ties or takes the lead...on THIS TEAM? If

you weren’t already dreaming big, you certainly would be then…

Deion Sanders says he will start fining his players if they are late to meetings or missing events…a pro model for a sport that has headed that way / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

-College football is still entertaining but doesn’t feel very “college”…and it the product is fun to watch, that’s enough for some people

-Coach Prime says Colorado football players will now face fines such as $400 for being late to a practice, to $5,000 for public/social

media misconduct….and $2,500 for missing a practice altogether. Any issues with that?

– An early look at way-too-early Top 25s in college football shows no sign of Nebraska anywhere near the ranking…an uncomfortable position ahead of Matt Rhule’s 4 th season Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

-Way-too-early projections are obviously wrong a lot in big ways, but you’d be hard-pressed to find many Husker fans or anyone in

general who has much optimism about the year ahead or how things are going here

-On3’s rankings listed a Top 25 and then 12 more teams receiving votes---none including Nebraska. Thank goodness for Nebrasketball

because things seem really uncomfortable when discussing the state of the football program.

While we’re on hoops, the latest national championship odds still don’t give Nebrasketball much respect…and that’s OK Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

-FanDuel updated their odds for the national championship and has Michigan as the favorite at 4/1, followed by Arizona at 5/1 (did

they beat BYU last night??)….and where might Nebraska be??

-Nebraska is at 40/1 odds, essentially 17 th in the country in odds (which still is awesome historically….but not for this team).

– It’s GAMEDAY in Ann Arbor---Nebrasketball heads to Michigan in a massive Top 5 matchup, as the Huskers hope to continue their undefeated season Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

-Tonight at 6pm on Peacock, Nebraska will face their toughest challenge yet in a season that has featured many great wins and no

losses yet---can the undefeated magic stay alive in what could be a raucous crowd in Ann Arbor?

-Wisconsin had one of the more impressive wins of the season when they won at Michigan a few weeks ago, and they still barely won

in playing nearly perfect offensive basketball in the 2 nd half. Can Nebraska get Rienk Mast going and keep Pryce Sandfort hot?

Keona Davis has a new spot, landing with the national runner-up Miami Hurricanes….how will it go for him? Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

-We tracked last year’s portal entrants, and one player had outstanding success (Princewill Umanmielen at Ole Miss)….but otherwise

the results were hit-or-miss

-Davis joins a Miami defense that is losing some ELITE talent to the draft…could he be a starter for Mario Cristobal’s squad?

Nebrasketball is going to be involved in a Top 5 matchup tomorrow night in Michigan…this ride is one we’ve all waited on our entire lives Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

-The Huskers sit on top of the B1G with a 9-0 record and 20-0 overall record, but Michigan is 8-1 and welcomes in a Nebraska team that

hasn’t lost since the final game of the regular season last March---to Iowa (and Pryce Sandfort!)

-Dusty May’s squad tore apart the country the first 1.5 months of the year, and despite only having one loss—they have come back to

the field with closer games recently…6pm tomorrow on Peacock (a network that has been good for basketball luck for the Huskers in

recent years)…any chance of a Braden Frager return? Also….a White Out is in play next Sunday for Nebraska/Illinois at PBA
