I'm finding this season oddly liberating, and this game is the perfect exemplar: we got crushed by a mid-major — next! Listen, every game last year and the year before devolved into either extreme melancholic episodes (losses) and absurdly optimistic declarations of long-term world domination (wins). This year, it's just a game, fun to watch but ultimately not all that important. Screw it — NEXT!

I don't say this often - but go get em Mizzou...

At least the night was not a total loss

no,, let's win honestly!

Wish I was there to watch this...

While i can complain about the price and the announcers being the guys from the Sonic commercials, the stream itself has given me no problems

Let's stay optimistic and note that, according to KenPom, there are roughly 200 teams worse than we are right now!

Did Kavas get jumped by the Monstars on his way to Lincoln? His 3 pt shooting is down 15% from the last 2 years. If he gets on track and can hit those open looks our offense can open back up in a hurry. I'm not banking on that right now, but tomorrow I'm seeing shades of that Honolulu tournament during Doc's first year where NU went W-L-W, Doc got tossed in the second game vs Hawaii, and NU came back to win on the tourney's last day. Get the W tomorrow and NU did what it needed to do in the Caymans.

NAILED IT JIMMY

"Offensive rebound and put back is good. Record that. I want to use that" - Kent Pavelka

That's the spirit!

Sad to to think that by seasons end, Shamiel Stevenson will have been in college for three years and only played one full season plus four additional games... while being completely healthy

And I see Burke has like 14 of our first 14 tonight.... - former coach for a reason i guess

Yeah, F the NCAA and their non-sensical rules. Lets not punish the likes of North Carolina for blatant academic fraud but punish a kid for trying to find a new home after two different coaches he committed to left. On the glass half full side, this team should be pretty darn good in year 3 when these freshmen and sophomores and sit out transfers are upper classman. But still, F the NCAA!

Nice job NCAA! You guys really showed that kid who’s boss. Sitting out 1.5 years after two coaching changes is really important.

You mention Thor, we all have mentioned Thor. Thing about Thor is he has some intangibles that Hoiberg really likes and no player has benefited more from the new coaching staff than Thor. My guess is he likes it here and there's no reason at this point for him to go anywhere else. He's going to help us make history in year 2 when we get that damn monkey off our backs. Why would he want to not be here for that?

Definitely was A&M, because Bill Byrne made a big deal out of it after he left NU. Nebraska had about a 17-point lead in that game, too. Horrible snowstorm that night.... Ohio State stole one at Nebraska when Glynn Watson fell down on an under-basket inbound play for the Bucks. That was fortuitous for them, indeed.

Damn the zone worked.

told wife we need to go after retirement.

We win this one and it will help us later this year. Like the zone, Doc can teach that as needed.

Son-of-a... lead down to one! Someone needs to give Cheatham some help!

The 2 - 3 zone seems to be slowing em down, Huskers on a 15-2 run!

Kent just said a shot was “errant.” That’s why he’s the best.

Shortly before halftime. Just heard "Stop the presses!" after Yvan gave us the lead early in the 2nd half (after an offensive rebound put-back).

I'll have to clip it. When did he say it?

I got refunded my money toady, from Flo sports. it was actually not to bad of customer service.

By the end of that letter I started rooting for the NCAA

You bastards!

...besides the in-state recruiting part, it really sounds like they're just describing their own program.

My first thought was to suggest that some of the FT percentages are low right now because of the adjustment to playing D1 for the first time, or from sitting out a year. Plus, it might require some time to learn to settle down at the FT after playing full speed. But then I checked juco FT stats from Cam (64.6%) and Jervay (53.6%) and from Dachon (62.8%) in his last year at Robert Morris. So never mind.

But 16 teams got better than us in the last 24 hours! Bah Humbug from Mr Scrooge!

Roburt Sallie says "hi".

Looking at Misery's probation and how they got there compared to what say North Carolina did, the NCAA is broken. If we had been Duke and asked for a waiver we would have it. Hell look at the Jess Sheppard case at Notre Lame.

1. Who else would you play? We only have 10 scholarship guys, four of which already play close to thirty or more minutes most nights. 2. Thor has a real positive impact on the game. You just gotta be able to look beyond box score stats 3. Agree with your take on FT shooting and rebounding help

Memo to self: Don't check KenPom, RPI, etc. every morning as per usual routine during basketball season.

I thought the name sounded familiar:

George Mason making everything. It’s like the basket is the Gulf of Mexico right now.

Good news: free throw shooting Bad news: just about everything else.

I listened to most of the game, but only saw the technical snippet. I am still of the belief that this sole incident wasn't the reason for the technical. Rather I am betting that Cam was on the edge for other real/perceived transgressions, and this rather insignificant transgression was the straw that broke the camels back. That is the only reasonable explanation in my humble mind.

game of runs. in more ways than one.

must be riveting television.

Cliff Reed's screams after every rebound still echo in my ears.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I’ll always remember how many savage dunks they threw down on us that day.... it was like Houston/Louisville ‘83 Final Four, except the Aggies were BOTH...

That Iowa win was a thing of beauty, Iowa did everything right... until they missed 1 free throw. That allowed JPJ to only have to score on a layup to tie it up. Incredibly fortuitous win by the Big Red on Senior Day last season.

USC only lost to #6Texas A&M saturday by 10 points

You mean when the ocean rose enough to cover the field?

Christopher Heady @heady_chris Also, Shamiel Stevenson *will* travel for the Cayman Islands next week. Didn't need a waiver like Dalano Banton and Derrick Walker did. No word on Stevenson's eligibility. Could come at any point.
