Steven M. Sipple: Husker loss feels all too familiar

Watching a Nebraska men's basketball game, you might occasionally notice your thoughts wandering to strange places.

It might be to a favorite movie.

In "Leaving Las Vegas," the character Ben Sanderson, a Hollywood screenwriter who lost everything because of his drinking, checks into a hotel, "The Whole Year Inn." As Ben is checking in, he smiles as he looks at the sign, which in his addled state reads, "THE HOLE YOU'RE IN."

The scene came to mind during the Nebraska basketball matinee Wednesday at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

If you're a Husker fan, you likely enjoyed much of the show, but the ending was a bummer.
