Sigh, this would have put us tied for first again. Hard to explain why they would play their worst game at home in a while with so much on the line. The Iowa game looms big now as they just lost to a not great PSU team. If we can't win that one at home we just fall back into the pack. Didn't watch this one, but it must have been tough in the locker room after. Maybe this will motivate them to play better when they face the Huskers later in the season. This team, it appears, is going to be in most of its games with a shot to win.

Well this is the first 50-50 type game they've dropped in conference. But now the one loss has become a two-game losing streak and they really need to win the Iowa game or risk giving everything back after working so hard to get ahead in conference. Didn't see the Nebraska game but followed it via twitter updates. It didn't sound like they really started playing until the fourth quarter which they started by trailing by 12 points. Unfortunately it's hard to win against even a marginal team when you only win 1/4 of it.
