Bringing on Jay Bilas to talk about a court storming incident involving Duke is like asking Desmond Howard to have a rational argument involving Michigan.

Three Storylines for Nebraska Basketball in 2016-17

http://www.btpowerhouse.com/2016/9/20/12951942/three-storylines-nebraska-basketball-big-ten-tim-miles-hot-seat-offense-andrew-white-2016-17

The Schedule

Last year’s schedule didn’t register as that difficult (KenPom had it ranked 81st in the country, just behind St. Joseph’s), but Nebraska traveled to eventual national champion Villanova (where they were thrashed), lost a home overtime contest to a very good Miami (Fl.) team and played Cincinnati, Rhode Island, and Creighton, all of whom ended up being decent.

 

This year is a lot harder. It begins with Dayton, who’s been a perennial fixture of the Top 25 and the Dance in recent years. If they can win that game, it’s UCLA and Steve Alford’s top 10 recruiting class. A date with Clemson could be a toss-up, but the travel to South Carolina will be difficult. They get Creighton at home, in a potentially winnable game, but then on to Kansas and the #1 ranked freshman in the country, Josh Jackson. 

 

All that is before Big Ten play, where they’ll play twelve of eighteen games against the presumed top eight teams in the league (MSU, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Maryland, Purdue, Ohio State, Indiana). They’ll need to gel quickly in order to avoid another disappointing run down the stretch in conference play in 2017.

Big-name guy from Louisville, but not a great shooter, and banged up right now. Can he provide the offense…and defense…that Huskers will need without scorers from last year?

  • Miles mentions “blatant optimism,” is that right?
  • Apparently there were some players who didn’t know only 64 teams made the NCAA Tournament last year, how young are these guys?

 

 

 ed:  Interesting side note, apparently the guys at KNTK aren't aware that 68 teams made the NCAA Tournament last year...

KNTK - Happer & Stephens:  Tim Miles has about a 3 minute long press conference at Big Ten Media Day, where is your interest level in Nebrasketball right now?

 

(14:14)

 

  • What is it going to take to peak your interest?
  • Will we still see great crowds at Pinnacle Bank Arena this year?

 

 

ed:  In a fit of pedantry here, I can't resist but mention the word is "pique".  That is all.

I like Crimson Quarry, they actually seem to know something about what's going on with their conference mates' teams and tend to write fairly well-balanced blogs...but for the life of me I don't know why they insist on calling #0 TAJ Webster???

Hoop-related Eichorst quotes:

 

“... It’s a rugged league,’’ Eichorst said. “It’s a broad-based resourced league. The other 13 institutions are really good and want to do the same things we are trying to get done at Nebraska.

 

“I like where we are in football. I really like where we are in men’s basketball. Being at practice the last couple of weeks on and off, it’s a good picture. Now we’ve got to convert.’’

 

Yet Eichorst decided to not to add the standard one-year renewal to fifth-year coach Tim Miles’ contract this summer, leaving Miles with a four-year deal. Sources tell The World-Herald multiple opponents already have used that as a negative recruiting tool.

 

“Tim and I have a very good relationship,’’ Eichorst said. “We both understand where the program is and where it needs to go. There are high expectations and standards.

 

“I wouldn’t get too hung up on the extension. The way I see it, we’re doing everything we can to support that program and put them in a position to be successful. I know Tim wants to do that, and his attitude has been great. We’re headed in a good direction there...’’
