    It was a bad call but it’s ok that you don’t want to discuss because your team benefitted

    Watch his left arm in the video.


    He clearly waved an arm which means he can’t return it. Would you argue he didn’t wave an arm or that the rule is dumb?

    Do you want to talk about the bad call that Iowa fans keep talking about or do you not want to keep talking about the bad call that Iowa fans keep talking about?

    Penn State has outscored Minnesota 87-61 in the first half of their two games this season. Minnesota has outscored PSU 97-57 in the second halves to comeback from 16 and 23 down in the two games.

    I think Howard is doing a great job, and needs at least another year.

    What’s the story on:
    - being ejected as an assistant
    - letting an assistant be the HC

    We had an assistant act as HC for a portion of the season as Howard had major cardiac surgery shortly before the season. As he started to recover he first acted as an assistant on the bench instead of HC. He got tossed one of those games for chirping at the refs.

    Wisconsin came to Lincoln, NE on Feb 1st with a 16-4 (8-1 B1G) record and ranked 6th in the nation.

    They are 2-7 since and are now 18-11 (10-8 B1G).

    We could be anywhere from 3 to 6/7 depending on how it goes in the last couple games. If we win I don’t believe we can be worse than 4th

    Agreed....they are way better production than the football games were. Hopefully that means there will be improvement in the Fall.

    The volume on the Notre Dame hockey stream was really bad. Video was good but the mix of background fan noise/announcers was way off.

    to update this:

    All season Nebradka’s big ‘issue’ was their lack of road wins and bla bla bla bla.

    How about we turn this to, ‘Wisconsin sucks more sack on the road and the superior red sits in Lincoln.’

    Honestly outside of Purdue and Illinois we should all be pretty ashamed. What a trash conference this year.

    If any Minnesota or Nebraska fans enjoyed their season that's fine also.

    I very much enjoyed our season. I would love to make the B1G tourney semis and then win a game in the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history, as well.

    After the last 3 years I’m happy to be competitive again. But, I know part of being competitive is that the league isn’t very good this year. For instance, I watched Indiana twice this week and they won both times. But their guards would be below average in mid-major basketball. How does that happen at a school like Indiana?

    Ohio State was having its worst basketball season since the 1990’s when we fired Holtmann.

    After our 2/13 loss to Wisconsin, we were 4-10 in Big Ten play and had lost 9 of our last 11. We didn’t have a road win since January of 2023 the prior season.

    Then we upset Purdue with a new coach and closed by winning 5/6.

    At 19-11 and 54 in NCAA NET, we probably need a deeper run in the Big Ten tourney than we’re going to make, but we could knock out Iowa from the NCAA bubble and take that spot on the bubble if we get past Illinois.
