I-80 Club: What Is Happening With Nebraska Men’s Basketball?
On this week’s Saturday Morning Coffee Show, Josh Peterson and Jack Mitchell discussed Nebraska men’s basketball’s loss to Rutgers, the upcoming stretch of games, and how the team can come out of things in a better spot.
Below is a lightly edited transcript of their conversation on the podcast.
Josh: That was supposed to be the win and to play like they did, to get to go down at the half and the second half, it just had that sense of dread, the entire second half. The entire second half was full of dread.
Jack: But do you remember after the Rutgers game last year, where I thought Juwan Gary tore his Achilles tendon, of course, and that was a bad spot. Don’t you remember how they played in that game? They just got like physically destroyed by a different, very different Rutgers team then. I mailed that season in at that point, and it got better. So, there’ll still be some good moments, but the schedule is weird because the road games. They’re still such underdogs in these road games. Like they would go, I don’t expect them to, but if they would go get a win against Maryland tomorrow, it basically, everything’s erased. Everything’s back to where it was three games ago, at least resume-wise.
Josh: Or if they lose, it’s suddenly four straight and another road loss…
Jack: The USC is the one, the USC is the one that, in Lincoln, is the one that could derail the season.
Josh: Well, you and I talked about that when you filled in a week ago yesterday, right? Where if they don’t pick up any of these road wins, it’s gonna put so much pressure on the USC game. And now, Jack, I would say that pressure is already there, but now there is gonna be some pressure on the home games, given that they just lost to Rutgers.

33 Nebraska senators urge Board of Regents to delay vote on $800M acquisition of Nebraska Medicine
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Thirty-two Nebraska state senators joined Sen. Brad von Gillern’s letter calling on the Nebraska Board of Regents to delay a vote on the proposed $800 million acquisition of Nebraska Medicine.
The letter, dated Thursday and bearing a total of 33 signatures from state senators, shared concerns about the proposed acquisition, including the lack of transparency to the public and the Legislature.
According to the letter, the regents’ Jan. 9 meeting agenda item summary indicates that the Board has “negotiated the final agreement over a series of meetings in the past 18 months”.
The regents will consider a proposal in which Clarkson Regional Health Services would give up its 50% membership in Nebraska Medicine. The deal would give full control of the health system to the University of Nebraska.
However, the letter said the public and Legislature have had little time to understand the proposal, its impact and any financial implications of the transaction.
“The University of Nebraska and Nebraska Medicine are two institutions of tremendous significance to our state, and any major changes to the existing structures must be carefully considered,” the letter stated.
Senators are asking the Board to delay the vote to “ensure all viable alternatives have been considered and until all stakeholders understand the impact of the proposal for the state” and the two institutions.
The Board of Regents meeting, previously set for Friday, will now be held Thursday, Jan. 15 at 9 a.m.
