What do we do well?

[dustystehl]

We don't shoot the three well.

We don't defend the three well. 

We don't defend well PERIOD.

We don't move the ball on offense.

I guess we are a decent free-throw shooting team, but we don't shoot many per game. And missed FTs cost us wins against Western Illinois and NC State.

Do we do anything well?

[HuskerFever]

We produce very poorly on the court, yet we still get people into the NBA.

 

So there's that.

[thrasher31]

Bryce drives and gets fouled well? That's about it though.

We get back in transition well...particularly when we should be crashing the offensive boards instead.

Actually , we didn’t tonight, on numerous occasions.  

[Nighthawk]

We suck at men's Basketball and still draw a huge crowd.  The women are undefeated and they still tarp off the 300 level seats.

Of course not.  You don't lose by 35 by doing things well.  But as a general statement regarding this season, we've gotten back in transition.  Which also happens to be why a team that can't make a 3pt shot also can't snag an offensive rebound.  We are generally sending 3-4 guys back when a shot goes up.

[Dead Dog Alley]

We improve the self esteem of all of our opponents after we play them.

[Husker Hoops Penitent]

NU is the most effective at losing with four-star recruits than any team I can think of.

[Bugeaters1]

Lose?

 

[hhcmatt]

We're pretty good about not turning the ball over and sending the students to pick up promotional items during game play

[Handy Johnson]

Convincing a Fan Base they’re seeing the most “talented roster” in both the Frost/Hoiberg era & yet somehow still manage to lose every game…

[GoBigRed]

We have a really good in-game atmosphere at PBA, which usually only pumps up every opposing team to shoot the lights out.

I would say we do hype up the fan base for men's sports pretty well considering the products we've been putting on the field and court the past few years.  Each year we still manage to get the majority hyped to the point where this "might be the year" to do something special.

poop the bed? hey, at a certain age, it's a legit skill.

What’s one thing you can do really really well??? “we can sew!!!” There you go, you can sew !!! Agh, If only we’d have known this earlier!! 
 

you younger fans won’t understand this…

[Nebrasketball1979]

We are good at basketball on days that don't end in "Y"

 

We are good at eliminating hope early in a season so we don't have to have a 60+ page bubble watch thread to needlessly discuss who we need to lose when we all know we will likely get screwed anyways.

Delaware State is currently #355 and Marist is #236 right now, in case anyone (cough cough @royalfan) was wondering.

[AuroranHusker]

Ughh. That's what Nebrasketball seems to excel at. The proverbial "ughh."

What's the story with this?

[Husker Hoops Penitent]

What they do, or rather have done well is cause my group of twenty or so friends to stop going or watching games after enduring decades of middling to little success. When Hoiberg first came here I immediately thought he would rapidly take us to heights never achieved at NU and consequently be snatched away by a school like Duke or N. Carolina and we would collapse back into our historic place in the hierarchy of the conference: read: the bottom. Now I couldn't care less what happens primarily because I don't think any good, let alone, great coach would ever consider NU as a desirable job, and it would take a great one to win at a toilet like NU, so it doesn't matter if they keep Hoiberg or not. Same with Frost. They will produce shit from here to eternity. A few years back this current scenario would have seen nearly impossible. Hoiberg and Frost are the worst two coaches in the modern era at the school in their respective sports. Stunning.

[Ron Mexico]

What we do well is by mid to late January allow me, and which ever of my kids I'll drag to the game, to move down to the 100 level seats from my 200 level season ticket seats.

We are pretty good hosts for the flu virus.

Best free throw shooting team Nebraska has had since 2011-12
