St John's is currently 9-10 (0-8). There is a good chance they finish the season 2-9, which would put them at 11-19 for the season. They beat Nebraska 79-56. As the season progresses, I believe that loss will continue to look worse. Realistically, Nebraska needs to finish the season 7-2 and show well at the Big Ten tournament to have a shot at the NCAA tournament.

“I’ll be eager to talk to Tim about what is in his mind in building a solid foundation,” Moos said. “I’m really going to put a lot of effort into looking at what has occurred since he’s been here.”

“You’d like to get a program that’s going to postseason three out of five years,” Moos said.

If people are going to complain about crowd performance at PBA, then I think someone should also calculate where Nebraska ranks in terms of win total over the last 5 years and compare that to where Nebraska ranks in attendance over the last 5 years. My guess is that when compared to other teams that have had 4 losing records out of 5 seasons, Nebraska blows out those schools in terms of attendance. And if you look at the schools with comparable attendance to Nebraska, those teams likely have much more tangible on-court success and are likely consistent NCAA Tournament teams (compared to a Nebraska program that has never even won an NCAA Tournament game). According to anyone outside of the program that I have ever heard talk about this subject, the level of fan support for this Nebraska basketball program (that is so drastically lacking in terms of legitimate success on the court) is actually pretty impressive. That's my (apparently unpopular) opinion.

And I actually think Tshimanga can/will be good next season, but right now he is so weak with the basketball, he is so weak when he needs to get into position to rebound both offensively and defensively, and he looks slow/unfocused on defense. Honestly, he looks like the kid in jr high that grew 6 inches over summer and is still waiting for their coordination to catch up.

Nebraska is so much better when Tshimanga is on the bench. This lineup is long, athletic, dynamic and has the ability to get to the rim and finish strong.

Such a Nebrasketball way to choke that game away in the final seconds.

This. This. This. This isn't Miles' 1st game as a head coach. This is the 6th season of data. As long as fans make excuses for losing seasons and accept moral victories, then the program will continue to produce losing seasons and moral victories.

Nebrasketball gonna Nebrasketball. I don't need to hear about moral victories in Tim Miles season #6. Miles is still McDermott's bitch and he is still Creighton's bitch. This garbage gets so old. "The only show in the state" is still the little brother.

McVeigh is an absolute joke defensively

Could Tshimanga be any weaker with the basketball when rebounding or attempting to finish in the paint. It's unreal.
