If we lose tomorrow I will full on crash out
Other side of the coin is that Iowa couldn’t have shot it any better and they trail.
Feels like the pace Huskers would like, idk if Iowa can keep scoring with them.
Had heard during games this year of Nebby's good defense. Where tf is it? Seems Freddy's focus is to win by outscoring teams, as has been the case historically.
End of half defense & decision making generally has been piss poor in a ton of games. Maybe it's inexperienced or poor coaching (not coaching the details on this area specifically), but with the number of games played by the players up to this point (Hell, kids have to average 75-80+ games annually since 7th grade) it blows my mind how stupid they play with seconds to go in halves.

Rick Barnes was the higher seed in his last 8 Sweet Sixteens before this year. He is 0-2 all-time as the lower seed.
What a horrible end to the first half by Nebby. Up 6 with the ball, could go up 8 or 9 at the half…. and instead only up 3.
That stupid zone left Iowa with a wide open 3 to end it…. just horrible by Fred and company.

Confidence and desperation is hard to put a percentage on. I think Iowa wins this.
Idk… there not a player on the court that plays with more confidence and desperation than Hoiberg.
Both teams shooting at a high level, this game will come down to the team that can keep it up.
My thoughts echo yours. However, concerned about Neb regressing to the mean from 3
It's funny to me how much better he is that any of Frans kids, despite Fran robbing other scholarship worthy kids. Then robbing the scholarship kids on his own roster by continuously giving excessive playing time to his sons.
If the shooting starts to come to reality, Nebraska’s advantage inside will be more prevalent
If anyone could’ve told you that they were, it would’ve been Iowa State fans
