Norm's always been high on the Haiby kid.

Only downside is you potentially wear out your own players. But if you're going 10 deep ...

Was just about to post this. We entered the rankings and are listed as "biggest mover."

Was talking with a guy about this notion of how many games we might have won had we been able to play Akron the opening night and get that game out of the way first. He made an interesting point. Said that Frost cost us the Northwestern game and that Riley or Pelini would have won that game, up ten with 4 minutes (or whatever) to play. So, I found a 40 minute video of the NU vs. NWU game and I'm not sure agree that it's on Frost that we lost that game. Northwestern had two long scoring drives in a row to tie the game and send it to OT. In between those two, we had a 3-and-out where we ran the ball to burn clock. But they held us and we punted and got the ball down to the 1 yard line. They went 99 yards with less than a full allotment of timeouts, picked up 4th and ten twice, and scored. That's luck, not simply Frost getting out-coached. I do not fault Frost for running the ball to burn clock; exactly what Riley didn't do when we lost at Illinois his first season. And, as for Bo, he had his own experience snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in his first season. Anyone remember this?:

We may be the only team in the top 20 in both categories, though.

It's surprising that a guy with Nana's explosive leaping ability lacks quickness. Those two things usually go hand-in-hand.

Here's my post from March 2017:

Is Palmer a wing or a shooting guard? Roby doesn't play wing if Palmer's there. Palmer only moves to shooting guard and Roby to wing if you have two players who bring more to the court on the front line. If you don't, then Palmer stays at wing and Roby at the 4.

Well. Hindsight is 20/20. I, for one, made my list of starters for the following season before either of them announced they were transferring, and I didn't have either of them in my starting 5. I posted it in this forum so you can go back and look if you don't believe me. Jordy was coming on strong the end of the season. He was bigger and longer than either Jacobson or Morrow, and you could reasonably have anticipated a step forward by Jordy from his freshman to sophomore years. The fact that improvement didn't materialize wasn't something those two could have anticipated when they decided to leave. What they had to go on was Jordy getting more minutes at the end of his freshman year and looking like the guy to beat going into the following season.

And with that dunk, the Huskers lead it 67-15. Wait, wut? ?

Haven't seen anyone else mention this, so I will go on ahead and throw it out there: Did anyone notice Roby after the team returned to the floor at halftime? Dude was spotted up from 23 feet and raining triples. Took a little bit to get going because other guys were shooting and the balls were colliding at the hoop and so you couldn't tell if those would have gone in or not. But as players began leaving the floor to huddle up, Roby kept shooting and was hitting probably 60-65% of the shots he was taking. The shot looked really good. Good rhythm and tempo. Nice form. Got good elevation. Most importantly, they were going in, and a lot of the time it was nothing but the bottom of the net.

Miles just needs to put up 13 conference wins on a more consistent basis, that's all. Then they'll extend him a couple of years.

11 Big Ten teams in the top 50. Holy smokes.

Risky who? I thought Brady played well enough tonight, that other dude is forgotten already. He might not weigh 270#, but Brady doesn't suck like that other guy.

"The margin of victory was the second largest in Nebraska history. The largest was 74 in a game against Crete in 1907." http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game?gameId=401082512 If you thought you witnessed something historic tonight, you were right.

When Thorir Thorbjarnarson is blocking your shit inside, it's a sign you should stop going there.

When teams have good shooting nights against us, seems like some people always want to blame our defense rather than give the other team credit for just getting hot. So, we should be talking about how stout our defense was to put the clamps on until the last 3 minutes when the walk-ons were in there.

That's the kind of thing a top 25 team will do to an inferior opponent.

Jones? Forget it, he’s rolling.

74 now back to 69. Hey, Cip, your favorite number.

Wrong.

Up 50?

When was the last time Nebraska basketball lead by 42 points in the first half of the game?

One more win and you'd have predicted a school record for wins in a season. Slacker.
