Just a knife in the heart loss in so many ways.

The boys showed great effort and fight. 

Like Husker football, this team has no idea how to win close games.

We were up 5 in OT with 2 minutes left. 

You can't give up that lead on the road.

We couldn't get the key stop defensively when we needed it.

Why on earth are we leaving Thorton and Mobely wide open ? 

 

I feel so bad for Brice and Juwan.

Should have been 6 had Berke made a free throw.  You get one defensive stop on the next possession and you are pretty close to just needing to make free throws to close the game.  But sometimes you just need to make a shot to win and again we couldn't.  Brice missing the free throw at the end of the game (assuming OSU doesn't make a shot to win).  Brice at the end of OT.

Anyway I did say that the reffing at the Hawaii tournament would be better than big 10 reffing...

But it’s missing the whole point. We aren’t getting screwed. We suck because we have shit talent evaluators and terrible roster management. Combined with poor NIL/1890 support. 

I agree with this.  Brice is probably one of the best pure shooters we've had and Fred chose to surround him with Rollie, Connor, Morgan, Berke, Meah, Gavin, and Ulis.  I like Fred and hopefully we can get a little more NIL support, but he can't miss on this next transfer portal class as much as he did on this one.

To say that these are the players they "chose" isn't completely accurate. Over the past two portal periods they have tried to get more upscale offensive performers however these guys have chosen to go elsewhere. Back in 2023 they swung and missed on about 4 different point guards before having to settle on Uhlis. Some of the same last year. Whether it's NIL offers or the way they present the program to these portal prospects, they need to find a way to get these premium transfers to say yes.

I remember feeling guilty for being glad that Teddy didn't set the record that night against Penn State. 

I remember a scenario similar to what just occurred.   The year : 1994. The opponent :  Missouri. We get hosed.  Our next 3 games we beat Oklahoma, Missouri,  and Oklahoma State to win the Big 8 tournament.   Let's repeat history. 

The margin for error in this league is so thin - even as poorly as we've played at times in the past several games, If we flip the results from two shots in the past week, one 24% 3-pt shooter from Minnesota making a late 3 and our 90% FT shooter missing a late FT in OT, we're still fighting for a first-round bye in the B1G tourney and wondering how high we're going to be seeded in the NCAAs instead of what we're facing now. Insanity.

So all the sports writers that watch Godly amount of basketball are wrong as well.

Well, if they’re saying you can’t move, then yes they’re wrong.
