  1. GOT IT!!!! I love it when they used to use Pavelka on the pregame video for stating lineups. It gave me chills when there was a pause and then all you heard was Kent yelling "GOT IT". Wish they would go back to using that for video instead of the lame ones they do now.
  2. Yea, that's why we lost cause of the officials. Not that we couldn't score or rebound.
  3. I, for one, am 100% glad Doc was let go and 100% glad Coach Miles is in charge of the program now. Doc had 7 years and got us nowhere. Coach Miles has been here 3 years and has taken us to the NCAA tournament 33% of the time he's been our coach. Along with that, this could be one of the best recruiting classes Nebraska basketball has ever had for next year. I'm as disappointed as anyone how this season has gone but when I step back and look at the big picture, I'm very happy with the direction of the program and fan support as opposed to the previous coaching staff.
  4. I'm still not seeing it as an option to watch it online. Am I in the wrong area or something? http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index/_/sport/football#sport/basketball/channel/espn3/type/upcoming/
  5. I looked on watchespn but couldn't find our game listed as one of the available ones to watch. Maybe it will show up as game time is closer.
  6. Is the game being streamed on the internet anywhere for those of us stuck at work?
  7. I guess I'm not that surprised by Shields being left off. He has been extremely inconsistent during conference play and not sure he has had an all conference type of season like he did last year.
  8. He graduates in May so he would have to take graduate level classes in order to be eligible to play next season.
  9. Most players in the NBA right now can't guard those guys so what does that have to do with anything? That is not the measuring stick on if your ready for the NBA or not.
  10. I'm getting sick of Miles preaching defense all the time just like Doc used to do (and finally got him fired). I don't care how good of defense you play, if you can't score, you aren't going to win. Tarrin is a good defender as well and can score which Benny can't. You can't keep playing guys just for defense only. Unless you can hold the other team in the 40's every night, we need people on the court that can play both ends and not just on the defensive end only!!!
  11. Totally agree. I hate when he announces before the tipoff "Now let's play Big Red Basketball". That is so lame
  12. The heat is not on Coach Miles. Yes, it's been a very disappointing season but he will be given ample time to get this program back on track. In now way is his job in jeopardy!!!!
  13. But also Doc played about as soft of non-conference schedule as he could get every year whereas Miles doesn't do that.
  14. His seat is not even remotely warm. He's been here only 3 years and we've made the NCAA tournament 33% of the time he's been here so far. We hadn't even made the Big Dance in like that last 15 years and he will also have 3 four star recruits on the rooster next year. Who in their right mind would fire him or even think of firing him at this point or even next year??? Based on what he started with, you have to give him at least 5 years and then if we still aren't making post season, he will be on the "hot" seat.
  15. I think we need shooters more than a big right now. You can double down on a big anytime you want if he doesn't have a good shooter to kick it out to. There are lots of teams that don't have a true center anymore and just have guys 6' 8" or 6' 9" as their biggest guy on the court. We need guys with a scoring mentality no matter what size they are.
  16. Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor???.......And it ain't over now.
  17. I do agree that Benny is horrible in transition and need to either dish it or pull it back out. If he could draw contact and get fouled, that would be one thing but he doesn't. He just ends up getting it blocked or turning it over. And when you are a team that is scoring challenged like we are, every possession counts.
  18. I believe he is out for the season
  19. Look... you can use that excuse as it is the easy way to take the "We would have lost anyways" approach. The problem with this is simple. You do realize that one of the worst calls hasn't even been mentioned... the "And 1" that was called "on the floor" against Webster. We get that and it puts us at 16... They call the very next play a block against Wisconsin instead of a charge... Petteway hits them both... 27-18 doesn't look quite as bad does it. What was the score with 1:20 left again? 58-53 You add those 5 points and guess what... our comeback ties the game and it is a completely different game in the last seconds. EVERY bad call counts and it effects the outcome of the game, and those two to end the first half are a BIG reason why we lost the game I agree and understand but the ref could have also given Petteway a Technical and tossed him from the game for putting his hands on him. I don't think the ref'ing was great but don't believe that is why we lost the game either. We would have lost even with good ref's as we just didn't play well enough to win.
  20. They are an incredible basketball team and have been my pick even before the season started to win it all and they have done nothing to change my mind. I'd love to see them and Kentucky in the finals as I think they are the 2 best teams this season.
  21. Not saying the ref'ing was good by any stretch but I can't even begin to point my finger in that direction when we only scored 13 points yet again in the first half.
  22. Winning will get you more attention than just individual scoring. My guess is Terran would trade a Big 10 scoring title to get a win in the NCAA tournament. I would think with the talent next year would make him want to stay and play with better players. He will still get his points and we could be more competitive. Terran is more concerned with winning than he is his scoring average.
  23. I'm planning on standing the entire game this year against Wisconsin again. Worked last year so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If someone behind me tells me to sit down, I'm just going to reply that Coach Miles said I don't have to.
  24. So you don't think there should have been any preseason hype? You make the NCAA tournament last season and basically have your entire team returning along with a 1st team All-Conference player and you don't think this year has been disappointing? I'm very disappointed in our offensive production this season and the heart of this team. No doubt, last year was a magical ride but if you can't built on it the following season with the same players, then we might as well just kept Doc Sadler and not have any expectations or hype each year.
