There's Always Next Year...

[HuskerFever]

Sure, this season didn't go as anyone expected, but there were some good moments out of it all. Before we start talking about next season, reflecting back, what were some of the best moments you recall from this past season?

 

(Save the negativity for another thread.)

Would probably have to say Avery Strong day as the best moment.

Securing Andrew White, Ed Morrow and Glynn Watson's commitments.

Avery Strong, FSU ugly win, Cincy ugly win, NOT starting conference play 0-4, Preseason Ranked, 

 

and... my future predictions... 

 

Petteway announcing he is coming back and the Big Red Train being all pissed off heading into next season... LOOK OUT NCAA

[Silverbacked1]

Having Rhode Island storm the court on us. Because at the time that was a big upset.

AND DOING IT WITHOUT BAG MEN!!!!

[HuskerCager]

Wins over Michigan St and Illinois.  Oh yeah, and the ugly win against Cincinnati.

Michael Jacobson wonders what he did to piss you off...

[TZAHL]

The guts we showed at Maryland.  Made me proud to be a Husker.

[Huskerpapa]

I didn't like the losses, but I love me some huskers.  So for me, I love the team...and love the future.

Nothing personal, but getting four-star recruits is a sign of positive progress in the program's perception. McVeigh and Jacobson may end up being more valuable players, but signing those three marked a milestone in Miles' remarkable rebuilding project.

 

Oh, and Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Shavon Shields became Nebraska's first ever 1st team Academic All-American in hoops.

 

Petteway & Shiedls both passed 1,000 points scored for Nebrasketball

 

Trevor Menke named to the all-Big Ten sportsmanship team

 

Nebraska basketball rated for only the 2nd time in pre-season rankings

 

Reccuiting ramped up with 4-star quality players in Andrew White III, Glynn Watson & Ed Morrow Jr.

 

Nebraska home attendance a school record average of 15, 588

 

Big Ten tournament record 24 offensive rebounds vs PSU (who had a B1G tourney record 16 blocks, BTW)

 

Gutsy win vs Cincinnati in double OT after disappointment of L's to CU & UIW earlier in same week

 

Winning 4 out of 5 B1G games in January (RU, IL, MN, MSU) with only L at Wisky in between (2) two-game win streaks

 

Shooting a 5-yr high of 63% vs NW in 76-60 victory on 2/3 - NW went on to win 5 of their next 7!

 

Battling top ten Maryland twice to the last possession with a shot to tie both times by Shavon Shields - MD won a aschool-record number of games in their 1st B1G regular season overall

 

Emergence of Tarin Smith in his 1st yr & a brief glimpse of Nick Fuller's ability

 

Continued effort while undergoing constant pressure & enduring double teams by Terran Petteway & oftentimes Shavon Shields as well

[AuroranHusker]

And those were just off the top of my head.... many times the team can learn more lessons from the pain & struggles than the ecstasy & elation of success

[PimpMario]

I am thankful I got to feel like a loyal fan again in the face of the fair weather fans trying to decide if they should jump off the band wagon.  

 

Avery Strong was pretty cool!

[Jadler]

Having Rhode Island storm the court on us. Because at the time that was a big upset.

I was drunk mad at us losing.

Then I was raging drunk mad that they stormed the court.

Then I started laughing hysterically because someone actually stormed the court against us.

I don't remember the rest of that day.

[Handy Johnson]

Was at the Barn and all the Gopher fans kept asking me if I had been at the Football game when they beat us. I said yes, and told them I was also at  the last 3 games when we beat them in Basketball! Eat it Goldy...
