If they are unable to top Minnesota tomorrow, it will be the first time since 1981 that they have lost 4 of 5 games." Minnesota has been building momentum and Nebraska is slumping. I would definitely be surprised if Minnesota did not top the Huskers. Big Mo is like having an extra player on the court. Nebraska seemed to play better before Lexi Sun became a starter, which makes me wonder if they have chemistry issues. It actually would be better for us to have Minnesota lose. |

Nebraska took set 1 25-19 (with Gophers making bunch of errors of all sorts) and Minnesota took set 2 25-23. John Cook continued his astonishing streak of losing 4 consecutive challenges (caveat -- that I watched). Go John Go!

Not saying sun isn’t good player but people built her up so high just like carlini that that’s so much pressure |

Everyone bitched about psu this last poll now Nebraska loses two more and psu is probably only the realistic team That can challenge them for BIG now although they would have to play lights out rest of conference and hope someone else can give minny loss |

So, Nebraska is 6-4 in the B1G after Minnesota's 3-1 win. That Ohio State loss by Penn State really looms large now. Without it, still a huge hill to climb for Penn State -- Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska (at Nebraska) -- not to mention Illinois and the rest -- but the Nittany Lions would only be one game back. Not great at math, but I do know two is more than one. Twice as much, in fact. |

Here's some interesting info from someone on VT:
"This officially marks the most losses in a season for Nebraska since 2014 (that team had 10 losses and finished in the Elite Eight).
Nebraska hasn’t lost three straight since 1997. This is John Cook’s first time losing three straight with the Huskers.
The last time Nebraska lost to Wisconsin and Minnesota on back-to-back nights was in 2015, both matches were in Lincoln.
Maloney and Foecke lost 11 matches in their first three seasons, the most in a single season was in 2015 (4 losses)."
