The non-conference season is over and the Huskers start the full-time conference slate with six games versus 2020-21 NCAA tournament teams. Three of those teams are currently ranked and two in the top 10. The first game is at Michigan State, a team that has experienced a few bumps in the road so far in 2021. Thanks to our own Kevin Knight, whom we share with The Only Colors, for his insights into Nebraska’s next opponent!
Corn Nation: The Huskers and Spartans find themselves in opposite positions from preseason predictions. MSU was a 20-21 NCAA tournament team poised to challenge for a top 5 finish in the conference and Nebraska was an afterthought.
