Steven M. Sipple: Rough question for NU fans after latest loss: How much more can you take?

OMAHA -- This might sound crazy in retrospect, but there was a way for Nebraska to defeat Creighton on Saturday at CHI Health Center.

Creighton basically has been playing with a seven-man rotation and consequently has been losing steam late in games. Perhaps Nebraska could keep the game close into the middle of the second half and make a late push to victory.

The Bluejays bolted to an 18-2 lead as their fans roared. As the margin grew to 27-4, I just sort of felt bad for first-year Husker head coach Fred Hoiberg. On the other hand, he's making a pile of money and is supposed to have his team prepared to compete at a high level.
