I will be completely honest I think baseball is entirely too boring to watch. Only baseball watching i do is in person when its 75+ and sunny out A beer in the hand helps too. But GBR nonetheless!!!

I claim to have no vast knowledge about the Xs and Os of basketball but I have learned some things and had a lot of fun doing so!

This is my first year coaching basketball. I coach a 5th grade boys basketball intramural team for our elementary school. It is an eight week season and every team gets to play 5 games. We won our first game of the season last night 14-10 and boy was it an awesome experience for those kids. Many of which are completely new to basketball or team sports in general. Anyway, I got home to watch the second half and my gf says youre going to ruin your good mood by watching Nebrasketball!!! But it was quite the opposite, they played lights out in the second half. Very pleased with the game overall. Play like that at home against Wisconsin and we will very much so have a chance to win. GBR

Hes a good player. He will do well wherever he goes. Kudos to him for knowing what he is looking for; he wants to go some where and be the man from the start and play early/often. He realized Nebraska may not be that place. Hopefully he finds a school that is a good fit for him. The only thing that changes for me is now I wont be rooting for LNS to win the 'ship. Ill save it for Hunter Sallis and the Mustangs who we still have a chance with (however small it might be).

He is listed at 220-225# for SDSU. Hopefully we can get Akol to pack on that much muscle.

Swear i have seen about 5 of these same types of games. He is very hot and cold. Hopefully consistency will come as he grows and develops.

Yep. Wouldnt surprise me. NBA is an "upside" and "potential" driven league when it comes to the draft.

Imo, college basketball officiating is generally hot garbage. No consistency from league to league or game to game. Imagine being completely foreign to basketball and trying to learn about the game by watching college ball. It would be utterly confusing watching certain conferences, individuals, and entire crews call the games completely differently night in night out. That is why i strictly watch Nebrasketball and March Madness. No more no less. Rant over.

Yep. Cant ask kids who rarely get to play to not play hard. I will say the same thing in the next couple years when we are waxing other teams regularly.

Yeah. I was being a tad dramatic with that post.

Im amazed Kevin Cross is averaging an assist. He seems like a black hole on offense, every time he touches the ball he shoots.

God why are we so bad at shooting the freebies!!!

Just to clarify for the old heads on here, sometimes people "like" tweets on Twitter when they are mentioned (by Twitter handle), even when they dont actually like the tweet. For example, if someone I know mentions or tags me in a tweet but it is not someone I regularly associate with OR I do not want to engage in the topic, I just like the tweet. That way I acknowledged you and what you said but did not engage in a response, therefore ending the conversation between us. However, it is possible that Jervay Green did like the tweet both literally and figuratively

Agreed. I have said this MANY TIMES. We have B1G dudes on the roster but so many of them are playing out of position or taking on larger roles than they should be.

My admiration for Kobe grew vastly after his retirement. I loved how committed and seriously he took his role as a father and a husband.

Would love to see it as well.

Cross is listed at 17 minutes and Ouedraogo at 25 minutes. Did they briefly play together yesterday and I missed it?

I agree with the take on Green. He definitely needed to be found the ball a time or two by Mack towards the end of the game. To build on that, anyone else think it was a mistake only playing him 18 min? He, along with Mack and Thor, were the only ones who had it tn on offense. And Green seemed to be hustling his ass off on the defensive end.

Rutgers would have scored 6-8 more points and Cross would have taken 3-5 more shots; missing most of them (not saying Yvan played great by any means). I just dont think it would have made a difference personally. However, I do like his potential as a point forward in the future.

Indiana

Will be listening to Kent and Jake on the radio

I also like our chances. I wont go as far to say we are the favorites but im cautiously optimistic. We have three things going for us: 1. Abundance of playing time 2. Hometown school 3. Coach with legitimate NBA pedigree (player, coach, front office) Not sure how important those things are to Hunter Sallis, but i think they give us a decent chance.

Green and Easley both in the rotation means Kavas is likely out for now.

If you are referring to my list above, it is not a wish list of who i want to leave (i listed every returning scholarship player for next year). Just a list of the most likely scenario in which each player could leave. Its very likely that 1-3 of those scenarios will occur this off season; which combinations, I have no idea.

(Realistic) Attrition Tracker: - Dachon Burke: grad transfer candidate upon graduation - Thorir Thorbjarnarson: go pro - Jervay Green: sit one to play one - Cam Mack: go pro - Akol Arop: sit one to play three - Yvan Ouedraogo: sit one to play three - Kevin Cross: sit one to play three - Charlie Easley: sit one to play three Attrition is a tricky beast but i think these would be the most likely scenario for each player. Our three players sitting out could also transfer or even go pro but it is very unlikely. Hell even Teddy Allen or Lat Mayen could go pro in some capacity, but once again very unlikely.
