    Need more big's and length.
    After the NCAA tourney it would seem evident we need more length, if we want to keep up. Vey few teams in the sweet 16 don't have a couple of long 4's and 5's. 
    The B1G is going to see more of it soon as the west coast teams come to town.    it just is what it is.

    I feel like a I’ve said this every year the past few years, but with college athletes basically being free agents every year, my interest level continues to wane. 
     
    I’m all for athletes getting paid to their max potential, but the current system is just such a mess.

    You literally cannot have that connection when teams roll over 50%+ of the roster year in and out. It’s what made college sports more watchable. I respect the players that hang around that would have options.

    You're not alone. I've had conversations with fans of blue bloods like UNC, UCLA, etc. and they're losing interest as well. Spans beyond basketball as well.
     
    And I think one part of it is that fans latch onto some of the players who are consistent 3-4 year players for the team. If 90% of the roster changes every single year, the only common thread is the one on the front of the jersey.
     
    The number of times I've heard "I don't even know who's on the team anymore" is becoming far too common these days.

    I am shocked there is no Kelly Pfifer or D J Carstans.  They must have prior obligations.

    Pharrel Payne also in the portal now. Bummer for Ben Johnson. Two in-state guys leaving. They were looking to have tourney aspirations next year as nearly their entire rotation could've returned.

    Part of the success this season is a stat that hasn't been discussed much:  team FT percentage.  I think it currently is almost 76%.  That's far and away better than the past few years which hovered in the mid 60s.  In general, in games that have still been up for grabs, the Huskers have made FTs.  That wasn't true in the past.  Props to Wilcher for leading the way.

    If we could have hit for even the upper 30's on our FG think the outcome would have been different. Agreed their length made it difficult. They recruit length to keep up with Stanford which always has a lot of height. With all the changes in conferences will be interesting to see how teams change. But due think WBB will continue to move to taller players. Still will be room for the 5'3" or 5' 5" player but they will need to bring something special to the table.

    Huskers were overmatched by OSU's size and playing on their home court.  I didn't think they had much of a chance after the big deficit to start.  But, somehow, scoring only around 10 pts/quarter, they were still in the game in the 2nd half.  I thought if they had made a couple of buckets in the 3rd quarter to get close, they might have a shot.  But they couldn't hit anything, even with decent looks - nobody was able to make a game-changing contribution.  Once they started making a few in the 4th, it was too late.  Real good season with a couple of head-scratching performances peppered in.  Hopefully they can build a stronger roster for next year and find a way to be a bit more consistent.

    Oregon State's height was an issue. add some block shots and i think that messed with the husker minds. got a little intimidated around the basket. 
    defense just kept the husker offense out of rhythm most of the game. 
    just a quick synopsis.

    It’s about butts in seats and neutral sites for the first two rounds would be pretty poor.

    Anni gave us 4 years of play.  She had her moments.  I would think she could have a nice 5th year at a mid-Major.
