I-80 Club

Jack and Kaleb open up the show with an update of the NCAA Tournament confidence meter. One of the guys stands pat while the other makes a fairly significant move.

Then, a breakdown of some of the national metrics and ratings, and why they may be a little surprisingly favorable to Nebraska. Jack unveils his three-tiered organization of the remaining games and their relevance to Nebraska's chances at making the tourney.

Plus, another less emotional look back at what went wrong against Iowa and which of those things most needs to change against Purdue to pull an upset on Sunday.

Finally, a quick look at a struggling Rutgers team who comes into PBA on Thursday.

After Nebrasketball blows a big lead thanks to Iowa's white hot shooting and their own ability to hit bunnies (and the worst officiating in athletics history going back to the original Olympics), the guys take stock of what went went wrong, what the panic level is, and how to get it fixed.

From Brice's level of aggressiveness to the ability to setup Essegian to the perimeter defense; no stone is left unturned as Kaleb, Jack and Bigelow work through this maddening overtime loss.

And then when everyone feels a little better they get out a pitcher of Kool-Aid and talk about the next few games.

Josh Peterson and Mike Schaefer do their best to recap an odd week 18 and discuss why it felt like a preseason week of football yet still changed the way playoff teams are viewed.

Then, they dive into what people came to the pod for: The Lions dominating win over the Vikings. How is Schaef feeling about Sam Darnold? What does it mean for round one? Can this group still go on a run?

They finish the pod by taking a look at round one of the playoffs and finding teams not named the Lions or Chiefs they think could make big runs.
