The Nebraska men’s basketball team has put together a very respectable 12 and 6 record so far this season with an impressive 11 and 2 mark when playing at home. Even though they’ve lost their last two straight ball games Nebraska fans have to be impressed and optimistic about the remainder of the season.

Two of their standouts losses came to the Sun Devils and Oklahoma. Arizona gave Nebraska a twenty point drubbing at their place back in the first week of December. The Oklahoma game, still fresh on everyone’s minds, ended up as a double-digit defeat as Nebraska couldn’t hang with Griffin and one of the top teams in the nation.

Highlight wins so far include crushing affairs against Kansas State, Alabama State and Florida A&M. A lot of Nebraska’s wins have come over admittedly weaker competition which might hurt the team’s chances of making the Tournament in March if their final win-loss record is questionable.

In your face, Clemson.

Despite what could have been a game-changing fumble that was overturned by replay, Nebraska managed to sneak out of the Gator Bowl with a win over Clemson.

Congrats to Bo Pelini and his staff, as well as the players on this year’s team, for going 9-4 and winning a bowl game. Joe Ganz deserves special attention for putting up sensational numbers all year and not getting the recognition he should have thanks to other Big 12 quarterbacks who drew more of the national spotlight.
