Can the Wolverines’ Relentless Offense Dismantle Their Toughest Ranked Foes Yet?

Look, if Indiana can become a football school and win a National Championship, then Nebraska, mostly known for football and volleyball (at least by me and my inner circle), can become a basketball powerhouse. I really don’t think that people envisioned the transfer portals and being able to pay college kids to actually help with parity, but I think it has. Most schools were paying people under the table anyway, so this now makes it legal and allows some of the other programs to stand a legitimate chance. The question most will ask is if this Cornhusker team is for real. They are 20-0 and 9-0 in Big Ten play, ranked as fifth in the nation, but was it a soft schedule, or is this a real team? The answer is probably closer to a soft schedule if you ask me. They have played two ranked opponents – Illinois and Michigan State. Obviously, they won both of those games, but neither was a comfortable win. They beat Illinois on the road by three and defeated the Spartans by two in Nebraska. Outside of that, they have beaten Wisconsin, a decent Ohio State team, and Creighton. I really am not overly impressed by most of their other wins. I’m not taking anything away from them, because you only can play your schedule, and good teams certainly lose to bad teams, but this doesn’t seem like the team has been tested much this year.
