Verge did not start against Peru State and I remember thinking at the time that was odd (CJ Wilcher got the start). He came off the bench and gave us a huge spark running pick & roll with Derrick. Verge started against Colorado and Western Illinois. Why didn't he start against Peru State? Was he in trouble?

I still would have liked to see Hoiberg use a timeout at any point in the second half to try and improve the situation.

I think Trey needs to touch the ball a LOT more. And guys have to do more than just stand in the corner. There were times when Verge would drive into a pile, and the guys in the corner just stood there. They didn't flash to the elbow or out to the wing or anything. Not saying Verge would have passed them the ball anyway, but it was really quite pathetic to watch.

Colorado needed overtime to beat Montana State last night. So maybe they're not as good as we hoped. There are 40 minutes in a basketball game and WIU had 57 rebounds. Even 12 hours later, I'm still struggling with this. After everything on Monday with the football program, I was really hoping last night would out a good taste in Husker fans' mouths. Instead, it feels like they just poured a bucket of gasoline on the dumpster fire that is Husker mens' athletics. (Yes, I'm aware the baseball team is good, but quite frankly, I don't care.) I wanted to be excited about signing day today, but I just have no energy or interest for it today. That performance last night was more deflating than a 30-second fart...

Welp.

Notice no one is on their tippy toes. Walker appears just as tall if not taller than Mayen, so perhaps his 6'9" roster height is indeed accurate.

I was in Blue last year, got Green this year. Movin' up in the world!

Forgot about him!

With Banton's departure, I think the only player on the roster we've seen play live is Jace Piatkowski. Walker was hurt during the scrimmage/Rick Ross "concert", but Banton and Stevenson scrimmaged that night. So very tough to even begin guessing what the rotation will look like. The talent/depth has been upgraded. I like that they staff has seemingly gone away from signing JUCO players (Tominaga was committed before last season, so no new JUCO recruits this cycle). I think things are trending in the right direction. I'm looking forward to getting back into PBA this winter. I think it could be a fun season.

Once the gem of a Tim Miles recruiting class, JervAy has had a rough time after JUCO. Just hope he's happy. He seemed like a good kid.

I agree with you 100%. Just wanted Creighton to lose.

Creighton gets bailed out with a phantom foul. Smh. I've rewatched that foul multiple times and I can't believe the game was decided by that call. F creighton forever.

All those turnovers in the first 10 minutes... A possession or two makes so much difference.

This is so dang fun!

Wow. Sex AND a Nebrasketball win?! This has been a great Valentine's Day for me.

Wednesday, we played great for 10 minutes. Tonight, we played great for 39 minutes. This was a tough one...

When was the last time we had a halftime lead in a Big Ten game? I was hoping to ask this question last game...

I am starting to seriously consider the possibility there is a literal curse on our men's sports. It is the only thing that makes any sense! Perhaps I'm just tired of getting kicked in the dick all the time...

Tired of playing on Wednesday at the Big Ten Tournament every year we don't finish 4th...
