And a call from a 402 number shows up on Mark Turgeon's agents phone.

 

 

I think the Terps broke him. It might take some therapy before he's ready to take on an even bigger challenge.

Unfortunately my 84-64 score prediction might be giving us too much credit.

I know due to the financial situation Hoiberg is probably safe, but damn, every time I watch them play my eyes  tell me he shouldn’t be safe at all.

it was a nice respite from suckage, but the team's back to its old tricks. 

 

NU doesn't turn corners. It runs into them and then pretends it meant to do that. 

 

Have a nice afternoon and for the love of Shiva, if you don't have a B team to root for at this point in your evolution, please find one. THis could take awhile. 

[hskr4life]

If Bryce is drafted, we seriously have to be the team with the worst 3 year record to have at least two players drafted.  Seriously… how can you proceed to have two players drafted and win less than 25 games in 3 years?

This thread is a ghost town. When apathy sets in on HHC, probably a bad sign.

"Nebraska doesn't have an answer for Paul Mulcahy" - that quote from the announcer really says a lot about the sad state of our program.

If you don't have anything nice to say...

Nah, I’m pretty much over watching sports for right now. It just pisses me off at way too high of a rate. I’ll snowshoe, or ski, or ride my bike. And if the sun is down, well, that’s what bourbon and a good book is for.

You can get away with Keisei a lot easier in this one as Mulcahy and McConnell aren't in the same zip code as Gabe Brown and Max Christie in terms of offensive firepower.

Fire everybody. 
 

First to go is whoever is in charge of producing a defense.

For most of my life, I've believed that even the worst basketball teams can have 1 or 2 nights where everything goes in, the other team is way off and a couple of wins magically appear. I personally lived that experience while playing on a 2-14 team in high school.

 

Regardless of a couple of "close" losses earlier in the year, it is a distinct possibility this team may not win a single game in the conference. While unlikely, it is possible. There are no lay ups in B1G. Just unbelievable.

[aphilso1]

How are our boys not pissed off at getting abused at this point? They look dead out there. No fire.  Honestly, I’d rather see a repeat of Lat challenging the whole NC State bench because at least that showed a player cared. What a sad state for our program, that I actually want a player to earn a technical.

Will this thread get to 5 pages?

When we're down 21.... against Rutgers... how do you not even give Keon a try at least.  We're just asking for him to leave.  Maybe the writing is already on the wall there.

[throwback]

Hey, we only have 2 fouls through 12+ minutes in the second half - big improvement from half 1.

 

(I'm going to assume those were both offensive fouls, based on the level of effort being given on the defensive end.)

[hhcdave]

Is Keon Edwards alive? Anyone know?

Those wins magically appear when the worst teams see Nebraska on their schedule. We are the most popular guest, we are like Santa Claus, red, white, and giving gifts to everyone.

All I can say is, watching this "D",  the 2008 version of Doc must be rolling over in his grave right now.

The Doc out there right now doesn't look as engaged.

There is precedent for running off guys who are better than many of the stiffs who remain 

[hhcmatt]

At this point we might just want to put Walker back in his protective carrying case until the next game

I’m sure Fred thinks Lakes is better 

[hskr4life]

We can't even post the yearly... "but wait until next year" thread because that would probably be more bleak than this. 

[hhcdave]

Either Matt A’s identification of talent is an absolute disaster or Fred literally can’t coach. 
 

Either scenario is scary as hell but at minimum one of the two is true.

I'm guessing he's not a team player,  hogging the ball by not turning it over, creating dissension by only taking shots that are open, in his range, disrupting the defense by playing some.
