Ben Zobrist reacted to hskr4life in Kavas
I will be the first to step up and say that I was pretty hard on Kavas this year. Unfortunately, I expected more out of him in the beginning. Whether those expectations were fair or not is up for debate. I wanted him sat earlier this year, stated that he struggled doing the one job that he was brought here for, and like many, complained about his defense.
With that being said, I was very impressed with him the last few games. He was coming on shooting the three, defense was better... not great, but better, and he was doing a nice job driving as well. I am very sad to see his season and college career end in this way. While I was hard on him early this year, he put his faith in my team. As a grad transfer, he could have went anywhere he wanted. He chose MY TEAM and for that I am thankful. He fought as best as he could for MY TEAM and for that I am thankful.
It can't be easy, knowing that this was it. That this was his last shot in college. Kavas-- Thank you for what you did for Nebraska basketball. Thank you for choosing us, and thank you for giving it your all. I know this season may not have worked out the way that you wanted, but know that you will forever be a Husker!

Ben Zobrist reacted to HuskerFever in uneblinstu’s postgame chatter: vol 12; ed 20 - at Rutgers
Their season this year reminds me of our 2014 season. Preseason picked at the bottom, not given any respect, owns their games at home, the energy in the program starts reaching levels it hasn't seen in such a long time.
The only difference... we're not even halfway through the conference season and TV analysts are already securing Rutgers a spot in the tournament. It took us moving mountains at the end of the season to crawl our way into the tournament.

Ben Zobrist reacted to Faux Mike Peltz in Kevin Cross is N
The best basketball player with the least defined arms has to be Jokic in Denver. I think he has about a 5” vertical and may not get picked first in a church league game....but then...

Thank goodness Standhardinger's measurements were never made public.

Ben Zobrist reacted to Nebrasketball1979 in Roster Attrition
I know college sports is a business and a big business at that but I still cringe at the notion that we are asking scholarship players to transfer. The whole system is grossly unfair for the players and unless they transferred to a lower division, these three will likely have to sit out a year and wouldn't be eligible for a waiver to play immediately...another topic for another day.

Ben Zobrist reacted to Fullbacksympathy in 19-20 roster
I hear you, but Amir is the type of kid you can sic latch onto another team's best scorer (1-4) and bring hell to the game. He's also a good rebounder and finisher with PG handles. I realize shooting is going to matter more in Fred's offense (and I welcome this eternally), but Amir just looks like a kid that has the it factor, and I'm very hesitant to let kids like that walk. There will be a lot more Iowa-esque games in his future.

As someone who had a class with Nana and Glynn Watson last semester, this does not surprise me considering Nana showed up twice and glynn showed up everyday.

Ben Zobrist reacted to thrasher31 in Roster Attrition
This was expected, but it's a relief he confirmed it. I still think him/Green make for a good backcourt. Need someone to play PG still (Mika, calling you). Or Amir Harris. Let's get crazy

What the hell is Randy Peterson doing there? Great question, RP. Nobody in Lincoln gives two shits about Iowa State.

I have to say the reaction to this was surprisingly mixed

Ben Zobrist reacted to Handy Johnson in Eating crow thread
Katz said after the Wisconsin loss that Nebraska should “understand” who they are. A Football school who should be happy to “maybe” sneak in the Tournament once every 3-5 years. Speaking for all Husker fans I’ll be happy to tell Mr Katz that he can collectively “Kiss My A**”!

As a student at UNL, this will definitely bring hype to our student section. The atmosphere is going to be incredible. Can't wait.

Ben Zobrist reacted to hskr4life in Mike Anderson to Nebraska?
I was assured a "home run" hire. I was assured Hoiberg was "N." The fact that we are even having this conversation is ridiculous.

Ben Zobrist reacted to Handy Johnson in Just keeps getting better and better
What if we won the NIT, sent Miles out with a Trophy & then announced Hoiberg as the Coach? That wouldn’t be all bad would it?
