9 point and 6 boards a game in the A-10 is worth one of those eyebrow raises from the Rock. Wouldn't mind having him at all.

Let's talk about that tweet they sent out yesterday.

It looks like everyone is there, working hard. They showed a ton of JPJ, Cope and Roby. I don't know it gave me hope that maybe just maybe all our doubts, doomsday fears, negative bs we've been feeling the past few weeks isn't as bad as we thought. Maybe, these young guns like playing together and are bought in. Maybe they are ready to take the next step, because they came so close last. Yes, we need a new recruiting coordinator/assistant coach that can bring in talent. The X-Man decommitment sucks. But I remain hopeful until it all blows up in my face that we could have another good year next year.

Doom and gloom seems to proliferate here.  Tim Miles is the NU BB Coach, let’s get behind him and the returning players for the upcoming season.  The future could include more transfers, graduate and undergraduate, to boost the roster.  Roby won’t be NBA ready after next year unless he takes a giant leap forward.  I hope he can play the 4 since he is overmatched by big centers.  Allen May make a significant jump and be a reliable scoring guard.  Much depends on Palmer and Copeland.

Ok maybe this idea is crazy and I don’t even know if he’s interested. But tis the season for hot takes and half baked ideas.
 
I think Miles should offer Anton Gill a role as a Grad Assistant for next year. Anton probably isn’t going to have a career as a player in pro basketball. However he is a guy teammates love and I think that could transfer over as a coach and in the recruiting game. Not saying he would be the recruiting coordinator but I think he could be a key asset in this time.  

What about the head coach at Brewster Academy? Keeps some guys from leaving, brings some guys in. Win win

I am sort of hoping (and perhaps expecting) exponential growth for Jordy.  He is athletic and he plays good (perhaps very good) defense.  He really needs to improve his hands, build his offensive arsenal and build his basketball IQ in order to stay in games.  Before scoffing at this expectation, don't you think that big men, especially a player that hasn't played the game all that long, tend to mature and find their game later than guards?  Perhaps not, but it is a reason that I hold out hope.

well he's clearly at least considering coming back given that he hasn't hired an agent.

I note Loonari has dropped ASU into his "last four in" group after their beatdown by the Buffs. I suspect he must have been watching a lot of the Bachelor since December. Certainly hasn't been ASU.

Hopefully we watched this game licking our chops. Role players for Michigan logged a few more miles than they probably would have liked, and Iowa put some doubt into their minds.  Get Hungry Nebraska.
 
 

My sentiments exactly. Is there any correlation to our low perception nationally and the fact most of our games were regionally broadcasted via BTN

Getting my first look at the $EC.  Ain't no way you are going to convince me that we are a worse basketball team than Mississippi State, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Vandy, or Mizzou.  Sorry.

I think that team could win state. Prep might give them a game though

I know Lunardi is watching this game. And he's going to say "Texas hung in there even without their best big man and an injury. They're a tournament team."
 
Meanwhile I am fully confident Lunardi didn't watch our game and he's thinking "Nebraska got lucky against Kansas. KU was clearly having an off game."

There's plenty of opportunities for the teams ahead of us in Lunardi's fantasy factory to lose. I have no doubt our team will be locked in on  Friday

I don't understand this sentiment: "This game isn't as big as the 2014 Wisconsin game, so let's be a mediocre crowd."  It's the last home game of the year.  It's been an historic year.  This team has a lot left in front of it and this is our send-off for them.  It's sunny, 45 degrees, and a frikin Nebrasketball gameday!  Enjoy some beverages in the railyard, then go be a damn lunatic for a couple hours while our beloved 'skers beat the brakes of peddo state!

Providence escapes and now Seton Hall going to OT with St. Johns. Big East is the Big Least in my mind. It's time Providence starts to go down in the bubble watch.

I'm in! Or is it I'm N?!? 
Let's do it right. Show up early. Stay past the final buzzer. Support the Railyard first. Celebrate like the bench mob. Make the tshirts. Paint up. Tell your neighbors. Tell your family. College kids camp out. And please please NO JAYSKERS!

I feel like someone recently told us losing to the worst team in your conference is bad for the bubble
