Not stuff the public needs to know. Fans are not owed an explanation.

I don't think this is going to get you on the coaches that you think should be on Nebraska's list if this trend continues

Matt, you may have been referencing my source. I had heard that we had a real good possibility of landing a big. Further, the source thought he was from outside the US. I couldn't retrieve any other information from that source though. But again, I believe and believed the rumor had legs. I will add one other comment that has been tossed back and forth over the past couple years. Don't think for a second that the unsettled coaching situation has not created recruiting issues. We recently played a team that had a player that once was a lean towards Nebraska. He went another direction due to the rumors surrounding Tim. You cannot let a high division one coach twist in the wind. Doing so creates issues. You either have to commit to a coach or let him/her go.

Fun fact... Our layup lines today will have just 4 people per line. That's a lot of extra practice before the game. Hey... Positives. ?

That's because it's easier to hide the money and transactions when you're at a private Omaha university

Is it just me or did you also hear that in Doc’s voice in your head?

We all know it will be someone we've never heard of. For some reason everyone still has a guess. Can I take the field? As in nobody on this thread predicted it correctly? June 31st

Is this the thread you meant to post in, then?

Huskers go on a run, win 5 straight, steal a bid. Creighton listed as first team out on selection Sunday. I probably wouldn't ask for anything next Christmas.

We aren't owed one. Violation of team rules is more than enough

Hooray for New Math! New hoo hoo math! It won't do you a bit of good to Review math, It's so simple, So very simple, That only a child Can do it!

So now we have lost Jabari Parker and Zion Williams to Duke. Unacceptable.

I have it on good authority it was Zion Williams.

Ever heard of the College World Series B1G flunkys? Should’ve been here years ago but they had to kiss everyone’s ass on the East coast. Maybe they missed that Duke/Kansas game last spring...

Look Big 10... we get 10K+ for a high school state basketball tournament. You'd have no trouble putting butts in the seats. The only thing they should be worried about is an invasion of red.

"Willing to consider..."? If a venue is a recurring regional site for the NCAA tournament, then it's worthy of consideration for a conference tournament. Sure, look at accessibility for fans to attend. But that's not even a question when attendance has been so poor in their D.C. and NYC experiments.

Morrow and Jacobsen are both going to play in the NCAA Tournament.

Related to Miles, but also for the next coach. Shouldn't player retention at Nebraska be more difficult than at other P5 schools? Miles recruited over guys like Morrow and Jacobson with Roby, Palmer, and Copeland. Would have loved to have had Morrow and Jacobson on the bench, but why would guys like that want to stay and be bench players at a program with a history of losing? So they transfer either to lower level schools with guarantees of more playing time or to schools that are more successful. So what's the alternative? Recruit worse players that are satisfied with being relegated to bench roles, but you know they will stay for 4 years?

Watson has his best shooting percentage of his career. Palmer, Petteway, and White were on the end of the bench with their previous teams. 2 out of the 3 ended up being All Conference. Here's a question if Miles is not a very good coach. How many coaches would you trade Miles for in the Big 10? No brainers are Izzo, Behlein, Painter. Probably trading are Gard, Turgeon, and Holtzman About the same are Miller, Fran, and Pikell Not trading him for Pitino, Chambers, Underwood, and Collins. This season really went downhill when Copeland got injured. I know we were struggling a little even with Copeland. But, I feel 2 or 3 wins were doable. Purdue, Ohio State, and maybe Illinois. That gets us 18 or 19 wins, and probably in the tournament. Here are some stats for everyone. With Copeland (against Power 6 teams) : FG % : 44.1 % 3 PT % : 34.6 % FT % : 74.8 % PPG : 72.2 Point margin : 3.6 RPG : 30.0 Reb margin : -5.0 Opp FG % : 42.8 % Opp 3 PT % : 31.7 % Opp FT % : 71.4 % PPG : 68.6 RPG : 35.0 Without Copeland (against Power 6 teams) : FG % : 38.3 % 3 PT % : 31.5 % FT % : 64.3 % PPG : 64.7 Point margin : -10.1 RPG : 33.3 Rebound margin : -5.1 Opp FG % : 45.8 % Opp 3 PT % : 39.3 % Opp FT % : 68.1 % PPG : 74.8 RPG : 38.4 I was probably just overreacting to a lousy season. I think Miles is a good coach. You don't think he is a good coach. I don't think either of us are going to change their mind. I just think our chance of landing a coach I would trade Miles for are slim. Maybe I'm not in the know, and coaches are lining up to take over a historically challenged team.

dammit roby shoot the damned ball.

His shot percentage since he had his hand wrapped has been terrible.

Just a note...Tanner and Glynn have two fouls each.

Guess Wisconsin ball is working for us.

But I thought volleyball season was over...

The last time he was at an away game, we did OK...stomped Indiana by 15. Really he's just being a good luck charm.

if only interested in nebraska, i'll save you some time---skip reading the following? stumbled across a stream from minnesota girls basketball state tourney. caught Hopkins with Paige Bueckers (#1 2020 prospect). man, she is smooth. exited a little early with 29pts. can see why she is #1 prospect. of course, coach Whalen was there. they are pretty close, now, whether she chooses minny, who knows. i read where their coach stated she has pretty good idea of her school. just from some things i have read, i think if she doesn't choose uconn, nd, stanford (one of the wbb elites) and chooses to stay in the big ten, it will be minny. Hopkins played Lakeville North and they have a good one in Lauren Jensen---prolific scorer (and, handles the court very well herself). she is a junior also and is chasing Rachel Banham's h.s. 3pt record. minny would be doing just fine if she chooses the goofers and Bueckers goes elsewhere (Jensen is going to announce after state tourney).

Reality versus Hope: the Eternal Conflict....:) Mazeltov!

And to get back on topic, if a kid like this believes the Mountain West is the “highest level” he can achieve as a high school recruit, then that’s where he should be: even if he proves later to deserve something higher—or doesn’t.

This is definitely in the realm of "none of my business". These are still college kids. Leave them be.

Like do we really want to know even? Wouldn’t we just judge him more if we knew?

I just want to say, if UNO has their best season ever, and Nebraska was suppose to have their best season ever, and Creighton (who was suppose to suck, and we crushed) is the only team from the state to make the dance, I might have to quit basketball.

Nebraska public universities can't get over the hump.

Sorry Bugs, did not mean to down vote earlier!

Brandon Richardson was a really good shooter before he took 5,000 charges in practice over the course of five years.

Looking like not offering Sam Greisel from Lincoln East last year may have been a mistake. Scored 20 in the Summit League semifinal as a true freshman, after missing a month of the season with a knee injury. He would be starting Wednesday night for us v. Rutgers. Had originally committed to Craig Smith at SDU, but switched to NDSU. Having a good year.

Also, Mitch Hahn's dad went to my Lutheran grade school through the eighth grade in Hampton. At that time, his parents lived on the border line between the Hampton school district and Aurora. He chose to go to high school in Aurora. Can't blame Dave for going to Aurora, although if he attended Hampton, they would have been the GOAT in Class D. Can't believe Auroran and royalfan haven't touched on this yet. (Probably because it happened well before they were born...) ? Go Mavs!

Kansas is making it, cip. ?

Stephen Bardo must not have a vote!

Definitely does his best out there, well, most of the time. JPJ seems a bit casual, at times. He really tried to carry the load, and those times of "hero ball" hurt everyone in Lincoln, in hindsight. But, Nebraska was better for having James Palmer Jr. around the program these past 3 seasons.

Okay, let's do that then. I'm all 'N' with Freddy, especially since Timmy already seems like he is... ?

Keep your politics off here. And while your at it, grow the hell up.

So you are calling yourself an IDIOT?

I know Iowa blew a 16 point second half lead, but I didn't really see it as Iowa pissing it away so much as Nebraska taking it. Iowa hit some big shots and made most of their free throws down the stretch (maybe not earlier, but we missed ours early as well) That's what made it so exciting. Iowa did not melt down, we just played unbelievably well at the end.

Unless Texas wins the Big 12 Tournament, they'll wind up with 16 losses and they're still being talked about as a bubble team -- for better or for worse, as of this morning Lunardi still has them in with a bye, even. I know their conference record is better than ours (obviously it's up for discussion whether that matters) but just for the sake of conversation, we aren't the only potentially 16-loss team that could be in the discussion. Raises some questions, at least in my eyes, about jersey bias...

A graph of improbable victory

I'm trying to decide if the "unsung hero play-of-the-game" should go to Johnny Trueblood assisting Roby for a layup, then stealing the inbound and dishing to Roby for a dunk OR if we give it to Thor and his Hammer of the Gods block on Bohannon to seal the W.

Watson and Palmer logged a lot of minutes today. Was nice to see both of them hit key shots down the stretch and in OT after struggling most of the game. Trueblood didn't score (I don't think) and yet gave Miles some incredible minutes. Harris and Thor playing post in OT and holding their own was fun to watch. Harris first couple steps to the rim are amazingly fast. When Roby is on he is so much fun to watch. Tanner had a great day for his last day playing at home. Hopefully Allen is ready by Wednesday Just a fun game today once the good guys kicked it in.

This video so sums up the 2018-19 season. The whole thing is a bad lip sync cluster. Na Na. Epic...

I’m sorry your Twitter account with your anonymous message board poster identity didn’t provide your psyche with the satisfaction you sought, so you had to come back here and read my obtuse post. Have a nice day.
