After Nebrasketball: Nebraska's Great Defensive Night Not Enough as Cornhuskers Fall to Michigan

Nebraska men's basketball's offense goes ice cold in a game their defense did more than enough to win. Jack Mitchell, Kaleb Henry, and Jacob Bigelow react immediately:

Did the right guy take the key shot for Nebraska, Kaleb and Jack disagree.
Why so many different players struggled offensively for the Huskers.
Was this just a reality of this offense and this matchup or was it also just poor shooting.
If the team can duplicate something close to this defense going forward, is there still some optimism?
Jack loses it on the refs, but wants you to know he isn't blaming them for the loss.
Jacob takes a look at the Minnesota matchup in a way drawing some jinx warnings.
Jack just puts his head in his hands for long portions of the podcast.
