I am on the Bourne Bandwagon. Let that girl play and get Porter on the court. Sam is going to need to play big minutes. It’s going to be tough to finish in the middle of the pack.

hot and heavy

Fred. Friggin. Hoiberg!

no BTN+ or Flosports this year!!! All non con on BTN or ESPNU

I think that Butane Cookman school was one of the six. Heard he had a poster of a lighter in his basement.

Just like it was before the internet. (Without the kid announcing his top six and was "blessed to receive 75 offers from whatever school")

Evan Taylor I believe shot it real well, attempts might be a problem.

Those were sharp. It's really too bad we had to douse them in gasoline and set them on fire after that performance.

Here is a good one. Warmups from the 1928-29 season. That's some good corn!

Auto correct strikes again!

Lose the black uniforms. We are Scarlet and Cream.

I think the one thing that is a little eye opening is the fact it seems like very little time was committed to building leadership skills. Reading Bourne's comments about last year. Williams talk about "it's new for us". Williams has quite a few tools she can use here and it sounds like they really did not give it much thought til things got shutdown by CV19. I would say that is part of the reason why we have seen the results on the court. Maybe this is how this staff and program turn the corner and take the next step in the B1G and NCAA.

ANOTHER NEW ARTICLE IN OWH 11 23 20 In part.... a lot about chemistry change we've talked about Bourne, who improved as the season wore on and earned more playing time, could see the issues. "We just struggled with the leadership last year," Bourne said. "We didn't have a big emphasis on it, so sometimes it didn't feel like we had someone to keep us accountable." Williams spent the offseason — elongated by the coronavirus — reading and talking to other coaches, including volleyball coach John Cook, about how to create leadership. From various sources, she put together a plan she said works for her team. Bourne, Cain and Haiby all had to fill out captain applications, for example. They've done book studies. They've talked to NU's sports psychologists. "We made some pretty dramatic changes with how we handle it," Williams said. "We're much more intentional, and it's new for us. It's one of the few benefits COVID gave us — a break time to step back, pause and evaluate the different ways and ideas to develop different or better leadership within the program." Nebraska tends to have a team slogan. This year, it's FACT — Family Action Changes Things. "It's very much a team-based game," Bourne said. "One person isn't better than anybody else. Everybody has a job to do."

Agreed. They don't have much height off the bench, so let's go with Yvan in the starting lineup and bring Thor off the bench. Put McGowens on Kuxhausen — the sharpshooter. We should have a better starting lineup either way, but the real difference may come when we go to the bench: Thor, Stevenson, Walker, Webster and maybe a little Andre.

Agree with both of you. I felt in the past we passed over some kids that could shoot because they were not athletic enough to guard people in our conference. We had slashers with no where to go because the lane was always clogged up with defenders who didn't care if their man had the ball. The saying offense wins games but defense wins championships can be true but the saying offense wins games and more offense wins more games can work as well.

Sometimes when you’re camping you do need that butane to cook, man.

Miles and Doc both recruited players that were slashers/scorers as opposed to shooters. But you can go back even further. Collier didn't recruit shooters either which was a bit surprising and Nee recruited scorers as well. The common theme is that all of these coaches, recruited players that were athletic enough to compete in the Big 8/12/10. What we ended up with most of the time were guys who had decent athleticism, but were average basketball players and mostly below average shooters. There have been some exceptions, but very few.

1925-26 was the first year we had numbers on the front of the jersey

You're thinking of Iowa.

Paul Velander? I might be off on the decade part but that's about the last one I can think off.

Sounds like Coach A is hitting the Conn/NY area hard. Trying to be first with an offer for some of these kids.

I’ve long advocated for them to go full Oregon and do something different for every game.

I would assume Walt did it in his one good year. Other than that I honestly would be more surprised if anyone did than if they didn't. I know Webster didn't shoot 40% from deep his junior year and he was as good if not better that year from 3 than anyone in that timeframe. So if he didn't hit that mark I doubt anyone else over the past 10 years did.

I like black uniforms. Not a fan of this version, though.

The 1901 team had N on the front, no numbers A marked improvement from 1900's "make your own N" team

Don't forget the 6'9" 4* center. I'm sure he'll factor in there somewhere too.

As long as I'm on an Eduardo Andre kick, I had wondered what his FT% was in HS because that's probably a better measure of his shooting touch than looking at FG% for a guy who, in HS, probably got a lot of dunks. So, here's what I found for his junior year of HS: FT% = 64; FG% = 59 And then there's this: Year Grade Team GP PPG DEFR OFFR RPG APG SPG BPG TPG 18-19 Junior Varsity 23 12.3 8.5 2.7 11.5 0.6 0.1 4.3 0.3

They're actually the same uniform. No stripe on the other side, just the N.

Here’s cookie in Waco against Baylor

Winnable games to get our mojo back.

Would that be the the Butane Cookman Lighters?

TBD has historically been a weak opponent. Ken Pomeroy doesn't even keep track of their stats.

By the time Wednesday rolls around we will be playing Duke, Slippery Rock and Butane Cookman instead the way things are changing so quickly.

1. Bryce McGowens 2. Bryce McGowens 3. Bryce McGowens 4. Bryce McGowens 5. Bryce McGowens Bench: Thor

I'm hoping that the Thursday game starts at 1pm or later so my family won't have to eat Thanksgiving without me

Seriously. At this point I just want to be able to watch our boys play, and I'm caring less and less which team we are playing against. As long as the game occurs and is on a normal channel, I'll be content.

All I know is that I thought I saw glimpses of light of improvement coming around the bend...but unfortunately that light was attached to a freight train that ran right through us.

We should go all script. Something about our block letter font bugs me.

Okay Mr. Old School, maybe we should be wearing these. We don't even incorporate our school colors in any of our uniforms regardless of sport, so there you go. On a serious note, the main problem I have had with our basketball uniforms over the years is the addition of black or gray to them. It isn't as bad when this is used to frame numbers or letters, but when it is added as a major feature of the uni I typically haven't liked them. I'm in favor of just red and white being used. As to players wanting to wear something that looks good, I don't have a problem with that. I'm guessing most aren't thinking about the uni's when they are playing in a game.

I remember a few games from the 1915-1916 season.

Who’s that goofy lookin’ Farm Kid getting “Posterized”...?

The '91 unis were made by Champion. I always liked 'em.

No more black ever for any sport after today

I love the black. I am certainly a traditionalist; but there us just something about the black uniforms that fire me up.

Although I'm not a fan of the black alt's (never have been) these are all a major improvement over last years' uniforms. Also it's worth mentioning that the shorts appear to be a bit shorter this year than last. I am a big fan of going back to shorter shorts. Couldn't stand the old baggy shorts that would hang down halfway between the knee and ankle.

I just watched the mens BB presser. And one player said no family or people in the stands.
