I think we should go big and bold — Dawn Staley.

Tucker DeVries. And his dad.

Subtract Greg McDermott's 59-68 record at Iowa State and they would be even better. 

Since the 1980-81 season (first year for Moe Iba and Johnny Orr):
Nebraska 700-634 (.524), 7 NCAA Appearances (0-7), 2 teams ranked in final AP poll
Iowa State 763-583 (.567), 20 NCAA Appearances (20-20), 10 teams ranked in final AP poll
 
Since 1999-2000: 
Nebraska 351-392 (.472), 1 NCAA Appearance (0-1), 0 teams ranked in final AP poll
Iowa State 449-321 (.583), 11 NCAA Appearances (13-11), 7 teams ranked in final AP poll

Since we're doing trivia today, Danny Nee's 5th team went 26-8.
 
Danny Nee's 4th team went 10-18.
 
Not saying that Ramel Lloyd is any Tony Farmer. BUT his dad is apparently buddies with Tony Farmer. So, there's a certain symmetry in seeing what Fred might do in year 5 with the son of a guy who's buddies with a guy who sat out as a RS on Danny's 4th team.

Just imagine what that stat looked like before Johnny Orr arrived in Ames.

Iowa State's all-time record is 1412-1376, a .506 winning percentage.
Nebraska's all-time record is 1535-1417, a .519 winning percentage.
Nebraska leads the all-time series with Iowa State 131-103.

Frustrating that we have to nail the portal and have injury luck to stay out of the bottom four. 

Egg drop soup!  Thanks, jayschool. Haven't made that in a few years.  With the cold weather coming, it'll will be served soon.  Maybe with some Szechuan beef and broccoli...
 

Had Chinese takeout tonight. Shrimp in lobster sauce with egg drop soup. 
 
The fortune cookie message: "Victory is just around the corner." Two of the lucky numbers were 62 and 61. 
 
So there.

We did compete with a short handed squad. Penn St is a solid team at home.   Our lack of offensive playmakers is the main liability.  We are getting the most we can out of our players.  Wins are tough to achieve.

I'm jealous. Booker T. and the MG's were awesome.  This, in my opinion, is the greatest instrumental in rock history!
 
 
 

Dawson's player archetype is a spitting image of Gary. Just needs the reps and experience. He got starter's minutes last night and his production and impact was that of Gary. He also has the same mindset, which is key. There's no reason Lawrence can't be a better version of Bandoumel in 2 years. Lawrence is just more natural and fluid in every offensive aspect. Bandoumel is an elite perimeter defender. Lawrence has been very impressive as a freshman defending Big Ten guards. 
Is there any reason Lloyd can't eventually be a better version of Sam as a big guard? Not from a talent perspective. But there's a lot more that goes into it, so this remains to be seen. I'm excited to see Quaran get on the court. He's a tough minded guard that I think we'll love. 
We don't have another Derrick Walker, that's for sure. First priority when the seasons ends is to get Grant Nelson to Lincoln. Hopefully Sam is already putting in a good word for us. 

I'm wondering if this changes the narrative at all that there is no hope for next year if Fred is retained because we lose Sam, Derrick, & Bando. If those 3 young guys continue to improve, add a healthy Gary & Keita, plus Keisei, Wil, Lloyd, and whatever newcomers we bring in, and there isn't any reason we couldn't have a competitive team next year.

Winning is fun.
 
Some clutch free throws down the stretch. Was also interesting to see freshmen Oleg, Dawson & Lawrence and sophomore Wilcher the group to make an important push late in the game. 

I expected both Edey and Loyer to be on the bench long before the final buzzer. That didn't happen.
 
These Huskers inspire me. Good fight.
 
I just wish they were better at basketball things.

It's like that joke about the comma.
 
"Let's eat grandpa!!"
"Let's eat, grandpa!!"
 
Makes a difference.
