I dare you to compare BYU’s resume to ours and try to argue they should be 6 seed lines higher. 
 

All because a few computer metrics love them. 

Have no idea why he may be “suspended” but this is Juwan’s what….3rd suspension since being at Nebraska? At what point do you just kick him off the team?

I will admit that I was one that hoped he moved on after last season. He has been a complete stud this year and has given me pause on thinking the same for someone like Lawrence who still might flourish into a solid player for us down the road. 

Rumor going around Mast me be out a few weeks…I was unable to watch the KSU game. Did he get injured?

So, do we have a realistic hope to hire someone better than:

• Tom Izzo or whoever replaces him?  No
• Mick Cronin?  No
• Dana Altman?  No
• Matt Painter?  No
• Chris Holtzmann?  No
• Brad Underwood?  No
• Steve Pikeill?  No
• Chris Collins?  No
• Andy Enfield?  No
• Kevin Willard?  No
• Fran McCaffery?  No
• Greg Gard?  Probably not, especially considering its an established program
• Mike Woodson?  Probably not, he can recruit
• Whoever replaces Juwan Howard?  No
• Whoever replaces Ben Johnson?  Probably not
• Mike Hopkins, or whoever replaces him?  Maybe, or probably not
• Mike Rhoades?  Possibly

So, if we're lucky and make a good hire, we might end up with the 15th best coach in the conference.  With the lack of recruiting base and the lack of tradition, our biggest hope is that maybe we'll still be playing on Tuesday the week of the Big Ten tournament.

You just don’t know. But at the very least you have to try. I think we can all admit Hoiberg is not working. 
 

We probably are not going land some big fish well known name but it needs to be about fit and fit in the Big Ten. Not playing defense and playing with “pace” to the point where your team feels the need to Jack up terrible shots 30% of the time is not going to work. 
 

There are plenty of mid major coaches or former failed P5 coaches that I’m sure would love a crack at this job. 

Another year without a PG. Lawrence is really bad. 
 

I hope PBA is dead on Sunday. Only way the fans can make a statement.

Because that’s what Trev does. Hoiberg will probably get another raise and we will enjoy another season of the Zooperstars and students from opposing teams sitting front row at our arena. 

Nah, he brought Hoiberg back this year when he had every right to fire him last year. Can’t happen again without Trev having egg on his face. 
 

I would be shocked if Hoiberg lasts beyond this year.  

How could Trev bring him back? He gone. Next.

Just so we can wait five more years before realizing the next guy is also a bum that we have to pay $30 million to leave

Yes.

I would hope Trev would want a crack at hiring his own guy.

Atleast I would hope so. How many losing seasons does Hoiberg deserve?

Win or lose this team really sucks. Lazy on defense and rebounding. Terrible shots on offense. 
 

Has to be the final straw for Hoiberg or Trev is sleeping at the wheel.

Other than mentally breaking us, this game doesn’t mean squat in the long run.  
 

Fred has to get er done this year though so he can let this one beat us Wednesday too.

Disagree. It was one of a few chances in the non con to get a good win. Now it almost feels like they have to beat KSU.  
 

Either that or go on a tear in the Big Ten which we know won’t happen. 

Posers

Lets be real, majority of the P5 would have beat up on our non schedule. 
 

Guessing we will be looking for another coach this March unless Trev just doesn’t care. 

You can change the players. You can change the coaches. But Nebrasketball is always gunna Nebrasketball. 
 

I vote whatever NIL money was going to Sims gets transferred to Mast after Sims transfers out. 
 

Have to keep him one more year. 

I have not been able to watch the majority of games but right now our 3PT rate is 50% which is top 15 in the country. 
 

If we want to win games against good teams I’m not sure that is sustainable. Either that or we need to start shooting at a better clip.

If it's not a high ankle sprain, and just a normal ankle roll, the absolute worst thing you can do is rest and stay off it. Obviously I am not a doctor, but I have been around ankle rolls for the last 18 years. When you blow it (high ankle sprain diagnosed by a medical professional), you know. When it's just a roll, you literally want to try to walk it off or it will tighten up on you and cause you more problems. High school kids get this wrong all the time. I've seen kids barely roll it, it never get black and blue or swells up like crazy, and they'll still go get a boot and be out weeks. 

You’re not a doctor but did you stay at a Holiday Inn last night?

If Bryce Mcgowens can’t get sallis here then nothing will 

It’s my understanding Wake offered a pretty enticing NIL deal.  
 

Have no idea if we will be competitive in that department

Hypothetically if we do land Sallis and say Tominaga stays where does Hunter fit in the rotation? Does he take over PG duties?

Sallis now in the portal as well.

Hope I’m wrong but don’t get your hopes up. I’ve heard his family does not want him in state.

From Washnut in regards to Kerr.   -My biggest concern for Nebraska is where things stand with their NIL operation. I've heard West Virginia's collective brought a substantial offer to the table. Will 1890 be able to come up with something at least in the same ballpark?

 

I hope you know more than him that our NIL is in good shape.  I have my doubts it is as strong as you think.  Would love to be wrong.  

I thought Kerr was unable to receive NIL due to being an international player?

What are we doing?  You CANNOT afford to lose games like tonight.  Our schedule just isn't strong enough.

 

What a blow.  What a meltdown.  We're not always going to be able to rely on our 1-2 Fri/Sat punch to get us 2 for sure wins.

The main concern with Bolt was his hiring of Christy due to his zero experience as a pitching coach. 
 

Unfortunately that’s rearing its ugly head. I can’t remember a time our pen was this thin and the lack of talent on the staff. 
 

With our current RPI and remaining schedule it’s pretty much win the Big Ten tournament or bust…..that is assuming we even get there.

Oh yeah there's breaks either way for sure.  We win those two in the regular season and we don't play Minnesota and then maybe we're still out because we don't win our first tourney game. Those just seemed like the couple of games that we could have won had things broken our way more.

 

The reality was that we didn't even make the NIT so we weren't *that* close.

We probably make the NIT with our current record if we did not get our brains beat in so many times. Losses are going to happen but starting next year we need to turn those 15+ losses in to 10 points or less and that will help our NET dramatically. 

Gary Sharpe has hinted on the radio that Traudt will likely be transferring to Creighton. 
 

The other 2 I have heard the same rumors about them being a package deal for NU. Probably too good to be true.

Something you've heard, or just personal opinion?

Just an opinion. Hope I’m wrong

I’m expecting Tominaga to move on which means we are again having to flip a good chunk of the roster. Good luck Fred

With that said, I’ve heard some names rumored that may hit the portal with NU being a landing spot. Some local kids.  I’m taking it with a grain of salt as good things rarely happen with this program.
