Now my guess is Dec 19/20- Non Con Game Dec 28, 29, 30- Non Con Game

My guess is that we will have two games sometime between OKST and the start of Big 10.

Yep. I think we will have to switch off Isiah and Issac, play some 1-3-1, and double down in the post. Throw a mix so that Roby isn't always guarding 1-on-1.

Yep. In order to make the other team play "your game," you have to have the better player at "that game." I think Roby will be able to cause more problems on a traditional 5 man than a traditional 5 man could cause on Roby.

Another great job by Tim Miles and Co.

Why didn't we get Wooden!?! COME ON MOOS!

Someone has a thread about what type of kid we should recruit.... Just link them to this thread. BIG KUDOS TA!

Clearly our best lineup last year was without a true big. Honestly, the days of having a "true big" are almost over I feel anyways. We can win in the Big 10 without a true big. You need talented players, a few stretch players, and everyone has to go all in. We have that with Roby and Copeland. We need to recruit more of those types of talent. However, having someone like Jordy to come off the bench for a few is nice, but I don't think you need a true big man to truly be successful.

What do you suggest the staff could have done differently?

I couldn't tell if you knew or not, but it wasn't our choice to play them. Unfortunately it was part of the tournament.

That neutral site game against OSU coming in big now!

I fail to see how anyone can blame this on Miles. First off, how do we know he wasn’t trying to recruit a big? If you’re a grad transfer or Juco, you want to probably go somewhere to play. All spring we had our Big 5 coming back, then Jordy off the bench. When the recruiting pitch is that we have our top 6 returning, we start small, then bring in our Jr center off the bench first, it doesn’t sound appetizing to recruiting a big. It would have been a completely different recruiting pitch if it was “after our starting 5, YOU could be the 6th man off the bench.” That’s why this is all on Jordy. The timing is crap and therefore the decision is crap. This one isn’t on Miles because it’s a lot different sell had Jordy been gone earlier.

Buh bye. Obviously if you walk out on your teammates twice, it’s a “don’t let the door hit ya on the way out” situation.

Rough one as Iceland goes down 107-60. Thor played the most minutes of anyone on the team with 29 minutes. 1/5- 2 point shots, 1/3- 3 point shots, 1/3- free-throws, 6 total points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 2 turnovers. +8 efficiency.

Let's be realistic in knowing that we have never won an NCAA tournament game as well. Winning a game is more than we have EVER done. We could not go 13-5 this year and be in a better position in the Dance. I agree that every year a team gets "hot" in the tourney, but that could be the team we are going to play as much as it could be us. Winning one game does a great deal for me. I hear what you're saying in that we COULD win more than one, but winning one is more than we have ever done and would show me that we are certainly continuing in that positive direction.

I agree. Same with Thor. Would had been nice had they made the decision to redshirt instead of play.

I don't remember a ton about the Doc days and even less about the Collier, but I can't say that we ever had a lot of players get invited to do workouts with NBA teams. Now it seems like we have 3-4 every year that declare, get invited to work out, etc. Anton played a nice role this year, but he played just that... a role. And here he is getting a workout with an NBA team. Big kudos to Anton for that, but I think an even bigger kudos needs to go out to Miles for getting Nebraska basketball to this point.

One thing I would like to see is the rule reworded to say can play in up to the FIRST 4 games of the season and decide to redshirt.

2nd... bad date for game.

Surprised Karrington Davis wasn't listed. He is certainly a dark horse.

I also think, by the end of his time here, Isiah Roby will be considered "Underrated" coming out of HS.

I hope the bolded above is true. I 100% do. Man oh man, it would be huge. If the above does happen and we are up by 10 late in the game, I want us to try and get that baby to 20.

Brandon Ubel. Having him as a senior the year after he graduated would have been great for this team. Senior Brandon on next years team would have been great as well.

It's easily Creighton. It has to be. The fan bases absolutely despise each other, there is always smack talk, and neither wants to see the other succeed. Yeah, it has been mostly Creighton lately, but teams don't have to trade wins for it to be a rivalry. You just need a passionate fanbase with an all time hate and we have that for Creighton.
