Here are the links to the latest episode. Talking exhibition game, some leftover secret scrimmage stuff, and recent National CBB happenings.

And here’s the YouTube version if you’re into that sort of thing.

Next episode will be myself and Wilson Moore from the Omaha World Hearald doing a sort of deep dive roster breakdown and season preview.

We’re recording tonight, let me know any big picture questions for the season you guys might have.

Gave it a listen today. I think in certain lineup situations, Berke at the 5 is a viable option, but as you said and Fred has said, consistency needs to be there for it to be viable. I do agree about Connor needing to be a guy from 3. With meah, I don't like the DHOs they run with him UNLESS they get an immediate downhill action with him and the ball handler off the dho. It becomes a "pick your poison" situation then for the defense on the ball handler, the lob threat, or the corner if help comes. It's a wrinkle I really hope they implement, but meah needs to be better at passing in order to make it work. He did look awkward doing it though. 

 

Good thoughts as always

I agree with the idea. To me, Meah always has been and still remains the weirdest piece of this season’s puzzle.

Yeah, he's a situation type guy. There's times where he'll be asked to do more, like vs iu and ballo, and times where he won't see much, like vs Rutgers and their lack of big presence.

Doesn’t have to be if they don’t try to fit a round peg in a square hole. Just have to have a slightly different scheme/roles for him.

New pod out now

I just wanted to shoutout @Jacob Bigelow here after listening to his last few episodes - great pod man. Awesome guests (can't wait to hear from Ali and Garth, I know both a little bit, great people). And whenever you are in a pinch for a guest let me know, I promise I'll be interesting.

Wanted to chime in and say I also have really enjoyed listening. Living out of state it’s great to hear from people close to the program. Keep up the good work, and thank you!

Thank you sir. Hoping to carry the momentum from the offseason into the year. Should be a blast. Appreciate you.

Thank you so much! This means a lot. Appreciate the kind words and appreciate you.

What's up y'all. Last week got a little busy for me so I'm behind in the podcast game. Going to knock one out tonight. If anybody has any burning questions about the season so far or about this team going forward, let me know. Will gladly take any non-Nebraska related college basketball questions as well. 

[Jacob Bigelow]

Some pregame listening for today from me.

[Jacob Bigelow]

first of two Nebraska/Creighton Preview Podcasts for the week from me is out now.

Recapped Sunday in Sioux Falls as well.

Great episode today. Jon Walker is too likable for someone covering the blue team from Omaha.

 

How much do you think Fred bringing up the Jaysker situation has to do with the new reality of NIL? He pry sees that certain people are writing a check to 1890 for football, then taking their basketball check down I-80 a bit. Gives the affluent fans a bit more salient power besides just grabbing a different 3/4 zip from the closet.
