"WE AREN'T!" "PENN STATE!"

Seeing some nice tributes from some former Husker players who played for him….Conklin and Jake and others

You can't name a kid Gus, make him absolutely look like a Gus, then send him to the University of Wisconsin and expect this to not happen.

Nebraska Cornhuskers (1-0) vs Florida A&M Rattlers (0-1) Date: Thursday Nov 9, 2023 Time: 7:00 pm Arena: PBA Broadcast: BTN+ Florida A&M Head Coach: Robert McCullum (7th year) Location: Tallahassee, Florida Conference: SWAC Nickname: Rattlers Mascot: Venom the Rattlesnake Last time out: Lost to Creighton 105-54 Shirts/shoes not to wear: Green, Orange, Rattlesnake Boots Opening Line: Nebraska by 25.5 Nota bene: Nebraska is 2-0 all time vs the Rattlers, having faced them in 1993 and 2009. The teams were supposed to play Dec 6, 2020 but the game was cancelled due to Covid-19. Famous alumni include Andre Dawson and Bob Hayes After playing two Nebraska teams, FAMU will play Iowa and Iowa St in mid-December Player to watch: K'Jei Parker On a team that is mostly Juniors and Seniors, true freshman Parker played a team high 37 minutes, scoring 12 points on 16 shots, including 14 mid-range jumpers! Parker is supposed to be splitting time with all-name teammate Love Bettis, but Bettis didn't play in the first game. Player to watch: Keith Lamar 6'6" Stenson transfer led the team with 16 points as one of the few Rattlers that could get to the rim and finish. Others to watch Shanon Grant - The 6'10" 285 transfer center from Mercer will give the Nebraska frontcourt literally and metaphorically a bigger test than anything that Lindenwood had to offer though 0! rebounds in 20 minutes of play Roderick Coffee - Odds on favorite for a student led "WE WANT COFFEE" chant at the end of this one.

The Huskers look to build on that start against a Florida A&M team that looked every bit like a team picked to finish 11th in the SWAC on Tuesday. The Rattlers have assembled a team with length at most positions that might give the Nebraska offense more of a challenge than Lindenwood but will likely struggle to score in this one. Nebraska will win, it's just a matter of by how much. It remains to be seen how aggressively Nebraska will pursue the 3pt shot this season. They took a ton of them vs Lindenwood but that's a squad that tends to pack the paint. The Rattlers historically try to run you off the 3pt line but Creighton was easily able to find shots from deep on Tuesday. Seems like you'll continue to see more 3s from the Huskers simply because that's the type of players they currently roster. Guys like Derrick Walker, Denim Dawson and even Sam Griesel have been replaced by Reink Mast, Eli Rice, and Brice Williams where outside shooting is a strength. Heck, they're taking all those 3s and Keisei Tominaga has yet to see the floor. Here's to hoping for another smooth ride before the competition starts to pick up. Prediction: Nebraska 87 - Florida A&M 59 View full article

wish bc happiness in retirement. the black cloud hanging over husker hoops transcends any one personality. I mean, it's patently obvious were playing basketball on pet semetary or something like that. we don't need a coach. we need a multifaith gaggle of exorcists.

Lawrence actually only shot 50% at the rim last year which is pretty poor, and that showed up on film. He's not terribly explosive athletically, and touch around the rim has looked to be a problem as well. That's definitely an area in which he needs to improve if he's going to be the player Nebraska fans think he can be.

Man he looks old. Good thing none of us have aged since his coaching days at NU! I think he was instructed to run a clean program and bring the graduation rate up, which he did. He just thought he could win with coachable kids that did not have the athleticism most of his conference opponents would have. It did not work and it was too little too late when he tried to recruit differently. He seemed like a good guy the little I interacted with him.

He will probabky remain on NIT selection committee to kick us in the nuts when we get fourth in big ten and go on road in NIT.

HHC circa 2018: "Man, we never get any Nebraska kids." HHC circa 2021: "Man, we can't survive on just the transfer portal. We've got to get some high school recruits." HHC circa 2024: "Man, we'll have to recruit some right-handed shooters eventually, right?" OK, I'm stoked for this season, too. Don't get me wrong. But the news of the day is signing two high-ranking high school shooters. Both left-handed. One from Nebraska, who upclassified from a '25 recruit to a '24 recruit. Janowski has recently been upgraded to a Rivals 4-star. Frager is listed as the #147 prospect in the '25 class by 24/7. That's star power. It's high school recruiting. It's getting a local kid. There's a lot to love in the news of today.

How is his leg hair situation?

Remember guys. Due to the NET rankings factoring in offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency, we need to beat the ever loving crap out of pretty much everyone on our non-con.

I have the special Matt A theme installed

We just have to finish Top 4. There’s NO WAY they’d leave out a team who finishes top 4 in this conference!

https://247sports.com/college/nebraska/article/husker-womens-basketball-announces-commitment-of-britt-prince--219847481/ Yeah we all got caught up with fantastic news that Britt has signed on to Nebraska along with Kennadi Williams (two future Lincoln Southwest basketball players will be playng husker hoops - one on both the mens and womens team). Yet what has flown under the radar is the signing of Amiah Hargrove. She appears to be a great signing as well. Her papa was a long time NFL'r, which tells me that she has competitive lineage. regardless, welcome aboard Amiah!!!

How about something from A&M records?

54% on close 2s last year. Probably below average right? But it was on relatively low volume (Griesel took 4x as many close 2s and was 57.8%). JL was shooting 28.5% from the field prior to entering the rotation. In conference play, I was pretty impressed with his ability, as a true freshman, to finish through contact in the lane. 54% on close 2s was where Glynn Watson was at as a senior.

I would definitely take the $99 season tickets but Barry was a huge disappointment at Nebraska. But let's be fair, he is not the only coach you can say that about at Nebraska. Barry had a 36 - 60 conference record at Nebraska and played an extremely boring style of basketball. He for sure left Nebraska in a mess but was just glad to see him go and can't blame him for leaving.

Barry was a nice person but he was a bad coach.

I really liked Barry. I think it was just bad timing here, don't think he was a bad coach by any means.

Totally agree with this!! When he came in first half it was 11-8 and then we went on a run….

I loved when they went to the Barn & kick 10 kinds of dog crap out of Goldy in ‘03. Also remember when Nate Johnson had a tryout with the Lakers. Barry had some Big shoes to fill, but all in all he had a solid if not remarkable run with the Big Red.

Definitely a solid leader of men.

I have no problem with stashing Ahron Ulis, I'd bet on him being a solid contributor next season. Win-win. And he covers the over.

I actually thinks this benefits us. can Come in next year are replace Boogie and give us a solid backup to Lawrence!

That's what she said.

Very interesting Frager is reclassifying. He’ll handle it fine as he was easily the most physically dominant kid around here this past summer as a sophomore. Buckets of fun for ‘24.

He had shown signs of development last year for sure from when he had first arrived. Happy that he is contributing at Wyoming.

Looks like he's out a year but likely can play next year.

His nickname is Gus Bus.

Yeah, he may be 95%, but count me as being in the camp on holding him out one more game. I want him to be 100%! I am satisfied if we win by 30, rather than 40 if Keisei plays.

Wilhelm and Mulcahy seems like the buddy cop show that I put on DVR but won't actually watch.

This was a whole thing leading up to the game.

Allick is very very exciting. He is healthier than at New Mexico. Explosive and competitive. If he comes off the bench it is simply because of rotational items so he can stagger with Mast. We have to improve shot selection. Too many guys taking stupid threes to quick and not wide open.

Nate Johnson had the game-winning made shot at Creighton in '04 in the opening round of the N.I.T. It was a fun game, I sat in the "Bird Cage" with all the B-J's - loved that Nate made that shot right in front of the Bird turds ( and me ) !

Id much rather get MSU early in year than later thats for sure!!

It's sort of funny to me how people seem to be down a bit on Boogie. I saw a guy who passes like he knows where everyone is supposed to be on offense, was able to hit our bigs for easy buckets, and at least one Sam Griesel backdown on a smaller defender.

MSU won't be good this year. They weren't even that good last year but Hauser got them out of a lot of jams. With him gone, they're pretty pedestrian. In regards to the game last night, Allick impressed me the most. Great athleticism and nose for the ball. That's a big man.

SH had a 3/4 length pass to CJ in traffic that would’ve given Matt Rhule a linden sized wood

On the one hand, thanks A LOT Michigan St, you've just dropped the conference RPI or whatever so everyone will claim the Big Ten is down this year and they'll take everyone who finishes ahead of us and a team that finishes behind us but leave us out. Again. Jerks. On the OTHER hand ...

I’m not so sure SH isn’t our best defender. He creates havoc on the defensive end, is probably our best passer on offense and shot 40.9% from 3 last year. He isn’t just a feel good story, he’s a feature. I’d probably feel comfortable with him taking a clutch 3 over anybody other than KT. The combined hustle and energy between him and Allick is noticeable. You have to have at least one of them on the court at all times to drive urgency IMO. Tons to love from what we saw tonight. Second chance points via hustle and rebounds will be huge if it continues.
