Hoiberg is on a list for the Kentucky job: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basketball/news/john-calipari-replacements-kentucky-coach-candidates/224aec136af50f83570f023f

Iowa lost today

Maybe a hot take, but I was really impressed with Hannah Stuelke. I'm not sure how effective Clark could have been this season without her. As much as some people hate to hear this, Clark herself has helped to transform that Iowa program. And brought a lot of attention back to women's sports. I can disagree with a lot of things about Clark herself, but that part I can't deny.

It was always about the dollar and never about the kids. Quite a shame that some of the largest sporting events in the world are now on cable-only platforms. Soon to be streaming-only.

It was a rough day for the red teams in the Final Four yesterday. Three red teams lost yesterday: NC State, Alabama, and Indiana.

Just had a run-in with the largest Dunkin' franchisee owner earlier today. I'm going to consider that, in connection with this post, a good omen for things to come with Nebraska basketball.

Isn't that what they look like though? Yes.

Maturity of the moment.

And now it's just considered "trespassing" to sit in the basketball offices, and "Class I Misdemeanor" for running around the court from the police, and "creepy" to sit with the cheerleaders.

That Rock Bottom thread is burried deep, deep, into the interwebs right now. Let's not resurface that any time soon. There were times we thought we hit rock bottom, when in reality there was more rock to dig. I'm going with the same theory here. We haven't reached Cloud Nine. But we're at a state of cloud nine that will soon get us to a grander state of cloud nine. Yesterday, Fred won the national coach of the year award. Then Brice Williams and Juwan Gary publicly announced their commitment to the program. Then Keisei Tominaga won the internet and the 3-point shooting competition. What a day for Nebraska basketball. What a day. Let this be your Cloud Nine safe space for those moments that just make you smile inside and outside about Nebraska basketball. I hope this thread gets resurfaced more than the rival one that's gotten a lot of miles of use over the years. Go Big Red!

Of all the times I've driven through Kansas, I've never seen that red line before!

Lots of "we" talk. Not "they".

It's just a shame we couldn't get one more year out of him and ride this publicity vibe one last time.

I've always heard that the worst thing about Wisconsin was that Madison was in it... I never met her.

When you're not at the top and it's not in alphabetical order...

Not close to equivalent to the Tiger Woods shot where the ball stops and slowly turns over, the camera pans in, and Nike gets free advertising from its logo blasted all around the world. But I'd like to think this was Tominaga giving us one last knod. Captivating the in-house crowd with his shooting, then captivating the TV crowd with his charisma, and then finally captivating the internet crowd with his pause, shot, no look, and then the camera captures it... "Nebraska" on the jersey. Thank you, Keisei. You did it for the game. But you mean so much more to this program. 私たちはあなたを愛してます。

Watch Tominaga sit at 17 and let the clock run down for 1 more shot.

9-0 run to close out the game.

I'm still giddy about this. This gave me the feeling again about how successful of a season we had that just didn't quite result in a win we were looking for. To the Alabama fan who saw this announcement and felt the need to tell me "The coach at Alabama should have gotten this award", seriously? You don't even know who Nate Oats is? Did you watch a single Alabama game before the NCAA tournament? Many coaches earned their way into a nomination. Many. But I'm proud of Hoiberg and hoping this reinvigorates him, the team, and this fanbase to strive for even more. Buckle up.

No regerts.

Roll call for @jimmykc. Gary heard you. You needed some news!
