If you're a Nebraska men's basketball fan, you just might be smiling right now.
If folks look at you kind of funny, well, just keep smiling and understand it's hard to blame them. After all, Nebraska suffered its fifth straight loss Saturday, a 75-72 decision against 24th-ranked Rutgers in Piscataway, New Jersey. The Huskers fell to 7-13 overall and 2-7 in the Big Ten.
But Nebraska fans don't have to look hard for silver linings. There's one in particular: My heavens, the offense is a joy to watch, particularly in the context of years and years of Husker head coaches who leaned much harder on defense than offense.
