They still have no way of measuring the unbelievable coaching in the B1G from the start to the end of a season. We beat the shit out of the runner up. 4 of the 9 Q1 losses were to ranked teams, not just Q1. We beat two ranked teams at home and barely lost to KU. Yet we only beat 1 team last season who actually made the tournament. And this season it will likely be 2-3. NeeandMe 1 Quote

We beat the shit out of the runner up. 4 of the 9 Q1 losses were to ranked teams, not just Q1. We beat two ranked teams at home and barely lost to KU. This season, the B1G had coaching and talent/experience across the board. Every win was a good win and no loss was a bad loss. But I'll bite. Who do you recommend we hire? We were 1-3 against the Big Ten teams that made the Big Dance. Again, we definitely got screwed in regards to our big ten schedule. But our overall body of work? 1-9 on the nitty gritty sheet is just not going to get it done. Neither is 3-13 like we finished this year. You have to be able to beat good teams regardless as to where the games are played. I have no idea who is a realistic candidate. If Hoiberg is an actual possibility(I don’t think he is)...he would be a slam dunk. If we strike out on our A/B list then bring back Miles. I am just not in the opinion that he’s the right coach to move the program forward. I don’t buy into some thinking we are a 20 win team next year if Miles is retained.

I don’t buy into some thinking we are a 20 win team next year if Miles is retained. Totally fair. I think Miles might have figured out how to keep us on the bubble year in and year out. We play very, very well at home. That's a legitimate 2-year trend. I'm thinking about the poundings we've received on the block during our losses in the past two seasons. The hard double team and brilliant subsequent rotations were new during the BTT. I'm very curious about the freakshow defense I saw for three straight games. It might be too little too late, but it looked like an actual change in culture--not just a streak. Like, we give Frost all the credit in the world during a 4-8 run because we saw the difference in the play at the end of the season when some sort of intangible culture change took place. This was really, really smart and courageous basketball. I'm not being sentimental, either. Something transcendental happened. If Matta or Hoiberg were available, I'd support the move. I'm not being sentimental. thrasher31 and Red Don 2 Quote

PimpMario Posted March 16, 2019 Report Posted March 16, 2019 I made a chart of Tim Miles vs the .500 line. He is currently at +2. Then because I saw a lot of losing streaks and poor postseason play I made a chart of that: 3 of our B1G tournament wins are against seeds with double digit seeds: Ohio State (10) and Rutgers (14 and 12). We are 2-7 against teams with a pulse. HuskerFever 1 Quote

throwback Posted March 16, 2019 Report Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Quote In Nebraska's case specifically, the committee will also discuss the first Minnesota game where Minnesota was closer to full strength, and the fact that Nebraska played Michigan State, Purdue and Ohio State only on the road. The committee will also discuss the transformation of the Nebraska team from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Exhibit A: Bruce Rasmussen, 2018. Translation out of Creighton-ese: They can't see the bubble from where they are. I'm going to recommend to send them on the road in the NIT. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

NeeandMe Posted March 16, 2019 Report Posted March 16, 2019 Lot of 'ifs' and 'buts' in this thread. I get it. I love Miles and supported him to the end, but the reality is we are in a great basketball conference with great facilities and great fan support. We can aim higher than 1 tourney appearance in 7 years and 5 years of playing the first day of the conference tourney. Quote

Eye-opening, and a rather big surprise to me. It sucks, but I largely agree. In some ways, this last tourney run almost highlighted the failures of this program this year. Clearly it wasn't a talent issue. The team we saw the first two months was, in fact, the talent we had. The AM radio version of that just proved it in the B1G run. Miles coached his tail off the last two weeks. But for the previous 6-7, his tail was kicking the rest of him. That's just too much volatility from a coach. And I think that's a personality thing with Tim. He giveth. He taketh. I still feel sadness over losing Doc, who I really liked personally and was really nice to me the two times I ran into him in Hattiesburg. But I think this one makes me sadder still. But it's time for someone else to get a shot. And I'm sure we'll pick someone who we'll come to appreciate in their own way, too. Quote
