Verge actually has an efficient 22 tonight.    Could you imagine what this looks like if he doesn't have an efficient night?

His guy probably has 50 tonight for Michigan.  To say he has no interest in playing defense is an understatement.

[Nighthawk]

Well to all the people who complained about coach not using timeouts this season.  Over 11 minutes left and down to one timeout. 

[hhcscott]

The coach in the Ruffles commercial has more passion.

Hands down the worst collection of perimeter defenders that I can ever remember. Bryce and CJ are just as bad, if not worse. Keisei at least gives effort sometimes, but also bad. 

[The Polish Rifle]

I was annoyed at people for calling for Hoiberg’s head before tonight….could really care less now. 

[hhcmatt]

Really underestimated how much we'd miss Matt As coaching in this one

Cannot believe I'm saying this, but at least Tim Miles' teams played hard. And looked like they cared..

My beloved Granny passed away the week before Thanksgiving. My company did some unexpected restructuring, angering many people, and several managers (including my boss, who is great) have resigned. Husker football sucks. Nebrasketball sucks. Its been a tough month, guys...

The staff and players should be forced to watch this broadcast and listen to the announcers make fun of them the whole time. 

[hskr4life]

Some good teams actually win 25 games in a season.  We'll be lucky to hit that in 3 years.

[Husker Hoops Penitent]

Haven't posted in a dog's age, but have been watching this shit-show from a distance.

 

I am officially offering my services as head men's basketball coach at NU starting immediately. I will do the job for one-tenth of Hoiberg's salary and will bring my own staff and pay them myself. I will pick up the first three drunks I see in The Railyard on my way to the arena before each game, after downing four double shots myself.

 

I literally guarantee I will guide this team to consecutive fourteenth-place finishes every year I am allowed to coach. I also guarantee we will make no progress as a program which will be evident each year after the first game. If I fail then I will return all the monies I have been paid. This money can be held in a trust to ensure my ability to honor the contract should something as unthinkable as a thirteenth place finish occurs.

 

One of the primary benefits will be the liberating of the twenty-thousand or so tortured fans still reeling from the laughable football season from wasting any more time with the basketball team. My methods, you ask? Firstly, I won't bother recruiting any four or God-forbid, five-star players. This only raises expectations to unrealistic levels rather than producing any positive results, and thus hurts the beaten Husker fan even more. No, I say! I will give scholarships to every player on a Lincoln high school team each year as the scholarship limits allow. This will save the university lots of money as we won't waste money traveling on recruiting trips and the like. Next season when I take the job I will introduce the new roster. Next year I will offer scholarships to the the entire Lincoln East roster (only six seniors eligible). The following year I will offer scholarships to Southwest High seniors, etc. This supposes there are players stupid, or desperate enough to accept.... Thankfully Traudt, Sallis and Hepburn were close enough to catch a whiff of death that emanates from this corpse. (M. Abdelmassih is already slowly backing out) Having such a small roster will also save the university money. If they (the Lincoln East players) decline the offer I will gather a team from the campus, which, come to think of it, is a better plan- that way the university won't have to spend any money on scholarships!

 

Please consider this offer.

But they should have to drive to Omaha to do it.

[Cowboy Kermit]

It appears that there is legitimately zero sense of urgency coming from that bench. Both from staff and players. This is just plain beyond pathetic. 

[Ron Mexico]

Announcers talking about our bad defense.

[hal9000]

I’m so pathetic a Husker b-ball fan I’ll be ecstatic if we can manage a 5-0 run.

[Ron Mexico]

STOP SHOOTING 3's

[Huskerone]

All the investment in facilities and coaches have gotten us nothing.

Condolences. Sports is nothing in the context of real life, but we look to it as a break from the pandemic, politics, work, and family challenges. These last 3-4 years of Husker ball has been no break at all.

[huskerbaseball13]

We have had some shit teams. Like really bad teams. But those teams atleast got after it on defense. 
 

This is our laziest team in god knows how long. They are not even likeable. We have had likeable losing teams in the past. 

[TourneyBound]

This is comical

I'm off to watch some women BB
