I will take a stab at Northwestern. It seems to me they had a winless B1G season back in the 90's.

I don't think it's happened since 1946 when Chicago went 0-12 in their final season in the Big Ten.
That 2020 team had Garza and Weiskamp, finished in the top 25. It was a good team.
Northwestern was 0-16 in 1999-2000. Rutgers was 0-17 in 2015-2016 before winning their last game against Minnesota, by 23!
Yes, the starting 5 with Garza and Wieskamp in the lineup were good enough to be recognized by being in the top 25, but the bench players were not very good, and Iowa struggled when the starters struggled, hence Iowa lost games at Nebraska when the bench players didn't produce. We'll see if that scenario continues tonight, hopefully not.
AND that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with this team. Hello. First off our other "shooters" CJF didn't play because of his foot issue, and Jbo was already out for conference play. Iowa's perimeter players couldn't throw it in the ocean from deep going 3 or 4 for 30 from deep. That was problematic, because the shuckers double and triple teamed Garza forcing Iowa to shoot from deep, and we had the worst shooting night in recent history. Their defense bothered Luka and no one else could hit shots. Is it likely we shoot that bad again? Probably not, but the big issue for Braska, is Keegan isn't Luka. They can't play that defense against him. Even though Luka would venture outside to shoot he was basically a low block bruiser. They nullified that with multiple defenders. Keegan will post you up if he has a mismatch, but he's damn near impossible to double, at least the way they did Luka. He comes after you from all over the court. He'll rip and run the floor with the ball. Take it from either sideline. He'll shoot the three, or take you off the bounce from the three point circle or the foul line extended. Turnaround jumpers, or the baby hook with either hand. His mobility and ability to take you off the bounce from literally anywhere on the court makes him very hard to double. Kris and Pmac have some of the same skills. None of those players played in that game. These are totally different teams. As I said, The shuckers could win, (anything is possible) but I highly doubt they will and sure as hell not the way they won last time we played there.

The answer to Nebraska double teaming Keegan is: Sandfort
Nebraska is a rivalry game in FB; in BB, at least 5 or 6 others are bigger rivalries
Maybe , BUT my point is they can't double KM the way they did Luka, because he's not going to just go set up on the block. That makes it possible to build a fence around him with two, three even four players at times, and force shooters to hit shots, which we could not on that night. Keegan won't be standing on the block.
I must be getting older because I would prefer this be an 8am game.
You can record it and watch it in the morning 😁
I have to stay up late enough to post about putting up Christmas lights.

I said in two other threads...
I called the wins vs OSU and MSU.
I said we lose to Nebby because we can't have nice things.
However, Nebby is really bad.
people are way too overconfident right now and my superstitious self can't handle it
Hoping we come out hot and put the hammer down early.
it has nothing to do with me taking the hawks for the first half giving 6

I am just ready to watch something to make me hate something other than Putin. Nebraska usually does the trick.
Lavin. Take your greasy hair and Jhonny Davis for player of the year and .... ...!
