Danny dribbled the ball off his leg out of bounds giving Nebraska the ball for the game winning shot by Beau Reid, who sored "just 2" according to the PA running down the points by player as we filed out. I recall my parents missed the game because of a business trip to Vegas so my grandparents took us.

Nebraska Cornhuskers, leading the nation in off-season champions.

Same. Plus I win the HHC bracket challenge if Purdue wins it all.

This basically sums up how I feel. Most demoralizing Husker loss in any sport for me probably since the football team gave up 70 to Wisconsin in the B1G championship game. Just on the brink of something big, then lay an egg. Volleyball is the exception, but it's not one of the sports I came to love as a child like basketball and football are. This one will bum me out for several days to come. Looking forward to learning what the makeup of next year's roster will be but still have to heal from this one before I can be engaged again.

I highly doubt they had no input under the circumstances. At least asked for the go ahead

He was AD at UNI when they were good at basketball. Two 30 win seasons

In my memory he's hitting baseline jumpers. Probably on a kickout from Hoppen. But I was about 9 years old, so I'm not sure about that.

I don't know what my first game was, but I'm sure it was no later than Dave Hoppen's freshman year. I'm certain our family had season tickets that year, and together with my uncle's family we had nine in a row in section C16, row 22. I kept score along with a cousin who was my age. I distinctly remember the NIT games with the ABA ball and along with Hoppen, my favorite player was Stan Cloudy.

Huskers 74 aTm 65 1 win

Amen. Remains the only conference tournament I've ever attended. Unless you count the days they played the 1st round on home courts

No but that's much harder to measure. Also, the time is a fixed factor that dictates strategy.

GameDay just had a segment on this topic. I was somewhat surprised that Hoiberg's name wasn't mentioned for any openings. Otzelbeger and Moser were each brought up. I don't think Fred would leave this year since Sam has one more year, but I am surprised he isn't a hot, or at least warm, name. I am pleased by this lack of developments.

Seems intuitive to me that losing by 10 in overtime is better than losing by 10 in regulation. In the former you were one play from winning and in the latter several things would have to be different.

Nebraska 77 Illinois 71 The big margin of victory allowing us to limit minutes tonight will be the difference tomorrow

Runner-up for the B1G Craft/Davison most unlikable POTY. But then again they'll have to change the name soon to add Sandfort's name to the trophy
