I deleted my post, sorry for twisting your panties by talking about basketball.

deleting post, sorry for sharing an opinion about how we've fared against quality opponents.

By and large, the KenPom threads have always been a hot-take free zone, and I'd really like to try and keep it that way.  Please take your fire coach Miles campaign to a different thread.  Thanks in advance.

Nebraska had no business losing this game, they just completely let the game change after the technical and couldn't pull it back to their game like in the first half.  This one would have been nice to have.
 
 

I enjoy the boundless optimism of Steven Bardo

Refs had to call a timeout, they're out of breath from blowing whistles on the Huskers

Just want to mention that NU has all 4 timeouts remaining.  Miles really should have used one somewhere in the 13-2 drought.

Traveled with the ball @ Clemson is my new favorite!  

I'd love to see NU come out and just take this game over for the next segment!

I'm so sick of the Huskers' dirty overly physical defense beating on these poor underdeveloped children so that the officials have to step in and call them on their brutality.

roby gets mauled there causing him to throw the ball the wrong way, and got his own rebound.  no call.  but he gets one against him the other end on a touch foul.  screw these refs.

So, Clemson dude just grabs Allen's arm and takes him off the ball with no call.  Mmmkay.

I agree that we will get chances down the stretch in conference play, and as strong as the Big Ten looks this year, it will be great every win we can get.  I'd happily lose these 2 and clean up in conference play, but I just don't see that being realistic.  I just don't want to see this teams' potential shattered because they didn't do what they needed to out of conference/away from home, and so far they've started digging that hole.  And it's not deep enough they can't get out of it right now with 1 game, but I feel like they'll be there losing the Clemson game as well.  Winning that one let's them have some breathing room.
 
They just need to win the one in front of them. Period.  And that goes for games like tonight where you get smacked in the mouth, you've got to find a way to play out of it.

Glad we can stop hearing about the Sooners and Trae Young for a few weeks.

Thank you to @uneblinstu for his chatters. He always says more than I could in 1/3 of the time.

well, I've had a few adult beverages, but man that was as sloppy as you can get.  Glad we did this in this tournament and not the other.
 
Just lackluster effort, period.  That's on Miles for getting them up and ready, despite the disappointment, and despite the 3 weeks rest.
 
Next year, I'm on the Tournament or bye bye Tim team.  Tired of watching this.
 
Have zero desire to watch any other games now, just dejected.  As usual.

I miss Matt Schick.  Loved the Schick and Nick show because of their segments like this, but I can't stand Bahe solo, that's some really, REAALLY bad radio.

Even though this is going to be a tough rematch from the charity scrimmage to start this season, I'm looking forward to seeing how this team responds.  I have tremendously enjoyed watching every game this year by these young men, and no matter the outcome, or what happens before the start of next season, I wish them all the best success in whatever they decide to do individually.  That said, I hope Miles can use this year, and the craziness of selection Sunday to motivate everyone to come back next year and finish what they started.  Roby's growth this year was tremendous, Cope and Palmer, Jr. are gelling very well together.  Gill has the potential to do more individually, but became such a team player this year that it really helped our big 3 players shine.  Jordy has seemed very happy since he has returned, and has been a major contribution to this team. (I'd argue that we win Penn St. away game with him in the lineup)
 
If this team starts where they're leaving off next year, and continues to grow together, I am very excited for next year.
 
But let's get back to the present, I really hope there isn't rust from sitting around for 3 weeks.  I really hope they are motivated to come out and play, and have no ill effects from the disappointment from Sunday.  I really hope we can break the cycle of the home team winning each game so far before the slate of games today.  
 
This team has the tools to beat Miss St.  They need to get the crowd (and cowbells) out of it early.  It will be interesting to see how we adapt to the experimental rules, the 3 point arc extension has me a little worried, as well as the 20 second shot clock reset.  Hopefully they have been working on taking shots from a little further out in practice, and the guys will be ready to go come 8 pm CST.
 
Go Big Red!

This made me literally laugh out loud.  SOOOOO true, it's funny.

Haha.  Tell him to bring it in December for us to collect it.
