  1. With that being the case then we for sure need at least 2 bigs.
  2. As someone who doesn't follow recruiting very closely this is some good info. I have big concerns about Ulis eligibility. Our luck is that when these sorts of issues drag out related eligibility the less likely it is to work in our favor. Does anyone have a timeline for a decision? Just based on what we have now it looks like we only have one more open starter/rotation slot and that needs to be a big. Even w/o Ulis we are still stocked at Guard. With HCFH propensity to run 3 guards I have high hopes for Jano to break into the lineup in that 8th spot. The only things we know for sure are that BW and RM will be starters. JG will begin the season as a starter. This roster, right now, has a lot of flexibility and more athleticism. We didn't lose a single guy to the portal that I was disappointed to lose. While losing that many guys does look bad; to me it was more like a control burn.
  3. 100%. This was very obvious watching our last 2 games. This is the evolution and I'm very pleased.
  4. Watch todays games and there’s your answer. Either Watson or Chandler.
  5. Someone said we need a replacement for KT…
  6. We need to run it back. What ratchet ups the pressure is when it is so long between appearances. The core of this group in Mast, Gary, and Williams will be back add to that Lawerence and a more experienced Rice and Diop. Now just need a few pieces
  7. Definitely Bando. We needed a lock down perimeter defender.
  8. So you are putting this on him? He scored 21pts. Every team’s best defender was on him. He was grabbed and pulled in every game. Defensively he improved every season. He wasn’t an elite defender, however he was average. His scoring more than offset any defensive deficiencies. It will be very difficult to replace him. Best pure shooter since Pike.
  9. The timing of him leaving was an omen. I’ll never forgive him for what he did. Call me unreasonable, I don’t care. It was a huge distraction at the worst possible time.
  10. I’m sick to my stomach. A&M shot the ball way beyond their season averages. I thought in the second half they would return to the mean but they didn’t. Love this team and always will. We need some dudes. 1on1 we were out matched.
  11. It was reviewed, as a potential flagrant, because of how the KU player fell down. That was the shortest review every.
  12. KU got very lucky last night. That block being called a foul on the dunk attempt changed that game.
  13. Yep. I can’t watch with casual fans who are going to say stupid things and spill beer everywhere.
  14. I'm watching this one at home. Every part of mental being will be there with you all at the game. GBR! As a reminder don't forget that the Women's team is also playing later in the evening after the Men's game is over.
  15. Duquesne is pretty good. BTW, our 89 against them is the most they’ve allowed all year.
  16. In the age of the portal it is very important to have both a strong culture and a coach that can manage high levels of change.
  17. I wonder if this hire will have the added benefit of him being the bridge that would finally get UNMC to group with UNL which in turn would give us a path too return the AAU?
  18. Mine was the BDSC in 1990, my freshman year in the student section, vs current BIG foe MSU. Not only was it my first Nebraska BB game it was my first College BB game ever. Before I went to school at Nebraska I didn't ever consider any other sports there other than Football. I was a huge NBA fan because I grew up in San Antonio and this was just the beginning of the David Robinson era. I used to go to NBA games all the time and saw George Gervin play often. Still one of my favorite players of all time. This was a great time to be a Spurs fan. Anyway, seeing the Huskers play up and close got me hooked instantly. Of course I was lucky, however I never thought this would be the high water mark for seasons. A few notes about that season I remember the most: 1. Losing to Murray State. Murray who? Oh yeah the Murray State team that had Popeye Jones and made the NCAA's. 2. Not being impressed by the Big 10 after we beat Illinois (neutral), MSU (home), and Wisconsin (away). 3. The student section!
  19. Survive and advance...Survive and advance
  20. I'm just going to leave this here
  21. This right here! While this team was always better than the sum of it's parts, our game against Illinois clearly showed that we need to upgrade some of those parts. I think at a minimum we are going to take 3 from the TP. As mentioned there are several guys on this team that we need to re-recruit. Would be surprised if this didn't return: Mast Gary Williams Lawrence (he has really elevated his game and will play a significant role next season) Hoiberg (Not on scholarship, but still worth mentioning) Probably need to re-recruit if we want to keep them. Jacobson Diop Rice High chance of leaving: Wilcher Ulis is a big question mark. His legal issues need to be resolved. Potential transfers: Keita Lloyd In-coming freshman: JANKOWSKI FRAGER
  22. So have I, however I've also seen us a 9 in few brackets including Palm. DeCourcy. Katz(Mar 12).
  23. No matter what you think about Trevor Baur you should watch his youtube video's about his time playing baseball in Japan during the 2023 season.
  24. Now that you've brought it up I'm going to be looking for it. Agree about Danny, although he was also immensely likeable. Don't know if that is the case with Underwood? Danny is the sort of Northeastern personality that Nebraskan's really liked. Not sure if it was the accent, how he dressed or how outgoing he was or a combination. I'm going to be paying very close attention to Brad today. Our basketball program has not won much over the years but I've always liked the character of all our coaches from Moe to Nee to Fred and everyone in between. I've often felt bad for them as it seems like coaching at Nebraska is a career killer. When we win our 1st NCAA tournament game, and we are winning our first NCAA tournament game this season, I'm going to think of all of those guys. I imagine twitter will be blowing up with congratulations by lots of former players and coaches. FYI, I know there where more before Moe, however before 1984, growing up in San Antonio, I didn't even know we had a basketball program.
