Jekyll & Hyde game. Looked real good for stretches and completely lost for other stretches. Full-strength Minnesota probably would have won for the third time. Hopefully they can keep it within shouting distance against Maryland, but that won't happen unless they eliminate the sloppy play.

No wonder Michigan is doing so well. They have the easiest schedule of all B1G teams.

Yeah. First goal is to keep her under 30 and go from there.

He definitely has been a different player since his "sit-down." You can tell he is really trying to be more of a team player by quite often driving and dishing the ball out. You can also tell he's not totally comfortable with that style of play, but I give him credit for trying. I think it will pay dividends if he can continue on this trajectory. The big problem is, he is terrible at passing the ball because everything he does is akin to "street ball," i.e., making the 'fancy' pass instead of the 'good' pass. Quite frankly, this is a problem with the entire team and is the major contributor to high turnover numbers. I don't think I've seen a team make so many lazy passes, one-handed passes, weak lob passes and just poor decision-making passes in my life. A good defensive team will eat those alive every time, as we witnessed twice against Maryland, and which is a staple for many B1G teams. Regardless of poor shooting which has plagued Nebrastketball for eons, Hoiberg really needs to find a way to clean up the lackadaisical ball handling and passing, or the program will never improve to where we would like to see it.

N.C. State is my second favorite team as I went to grad school there and still live in NC, so I watch them quite a bit. Allen is a decent complimentary player. He definitely is not a focal point of the team offensively and is rarely noticeable (which can be a good thing, as well, as he doesn't do stupid or bad things often, either). Would I like him on the Nebraska roster. Sure. But IMHO, I don't think he would have a significant impact on the debacle we have witnessed this year.

Nominated for post-of-the-week, or year...or some relevant time period.

He'll refuse to sign.

Sad thing is, he was the best player against the Goophers.

Wow. That is truly pathetic.

He'll come back for one more year just to haunt us.

I was worried predicting mid-50's for Nebraska might be way too low.

When a player as limited as No. 12 scores 8 points, you know your goose is cooked.
