Nebraska gets what’s essentially a road win against Providence at the Mohegan Sun.

Cornhuskers star Pryce Sandfort finished with 25 points and the Friars couldn’t get anything going offensively, couldn’t shoot it from deep and their backcourt of Miles Byrd and Malik Mack combined for just 2 field goals.

THE HUSKERS TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS! 🔥

@HuskerMBB picks up a BIG early-season win over Providence!

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

Nebraska's defense from last season traveled all the way to Mohegan Sun.

Huskers hold Providence to just 58 points in a pseudo road victory.

25 for Pryce Sandfort, who looks All-Big Ten First-Team good in 2026-27.

[John Tiarks @MidlineF]

Stewart killed it in tbe transfer portal. Incredibly high percentage of starters out of last years haul.

Drink would be my #1 choice. Elevating Mizzou in the SEC & keeping them there consistently has been very under the radar impressive.

[John Tiarks @MidlineF]

Well.

Count me off the Ruhle Bandwagon.

Idk how you keep the defensive staff & GM Pat Stewart but every effort should be made to do so.

My short list of favorites to be the new HC would include: Bielema, Drinkwitz & Fleck.

Think Bielema actually needs a DC anyway so yeah.

Whoever suggested Holgerson call plays from the blimp next week is pretty legendary.

Love my school & we have everything in place to expect more than this.

Not gonna miss Ruhle being a goober at every turn

My wife is gone til Sunday with her friends on a Girls Trip.

She just texted that our 3-year old has been vomiting the entire car ride.

I wish I could be there to help.

I wish I could be there to offer support.

But Saint Louis and Missouri haven't played in 25 years.

What… what is this foreign expression on Mick Cronin’s face?

[John Tiarks @MidlineF]

Ruhle went & got a new OC mid season 2 years ago. This Special Teams situation is considerably worse this year. Just historically bad. Can’t believe with the bye week coming some major shakeups won’t be in place. Ekeler has to be amused watching what was a strength of the team a year ago become what it is now.

Real question is what’s worse?

Oregon’s QB situation or our Special Teams? 😬🙄

[Bussin' With The Boys @BussinWTB]

What’s better than this?

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

Jameis Winston is the GREATEST:

“Winning this game for Jaxson. 12 points. 6 x 2, it’s for you.” 🤣🐐

Vanderbilt coaches box reacting to the win.

Not sure who the guy on the right is but he has clearly seen it all.

[Andy Staples @AndyStaples]

BE HEALED

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

Lots of four-guard sets today at Nebraska. Something to monitor: Fred Hoiberg downshifting and using Braden Frager as a playmaking small ball 4. A significant jump is coming.

[John Tiarks @MidlineF]

@JonRothstein - I’m not a drinker Jon but plan to be Wednesday @ Gate 25.

Are we ready for next year’s bet?

Big Red finishes in the Top 25 again & you pony up the credit card for drinks again. If the Huskers don’t then I’ll do the honors.

I’m negotiable on the downside of the bet but also confident Frager & Sandfort are worth the bet!

See you Wednesday!
