I was rooting for Nebraska until they showed Matt Rhule. I’m fine with them losing now. Didn’t need reminded of that chump

I blame Matt Rhule

Nebraska lost when Matt Rhule showed up.

Matt Rhule at the game = we lose to Iowa. Crazy how that works.

As soon as Matt Rhule was shown, the game was over

At 6:16 left in the game, Pryce Sandfort made a 3 to take the lead against Iowa. The TBS broadcast showed Matt Rhule in the crowd. After said basket, Nebraska went on a 5 minute and 9 second scoring drought and got outscored 15-6 for the rest of the game.

I’m so sad

Sweet 16 is literally cursed

Why

me, to everyone who gave me hell about Rhule in 2020

I’d like to issue a formal apology for ever believing. I have fully accepted that this team went from the hottest team in the NHL to unable to play hockey overnight. There will be no further comments at this time. #CBJ

#CBJ head coach Rick Bowness felt he got inconsistent effort from his team tonight: "We had some guys out there give us, poured their whole heart and soul in tonight's game. We really did. And then we had some guys give us absolutely nothing."

More from Rick Bowness: "If we want to make a serious effort to get in, it's gonna take a whole lot more than some of those guys gave us tonight. They can say all they want -- 'We want to get in, we want to get in.' I'd shut up and let my play do my talking for me." #CBJ
