Ron, you may need to borrow Jimmy's Ebay, because yours may be broken. Googling "Brian Rosenthal Lincoln Nebraska" yields numerous relevant hits.

Pretty much. Gotta double the post and hope they somehow are off tonight from 3. Clearly a death or bunga bunga (or is it "bonga-bonga"?) choice.

It is a great number indeed, Cip!

Any word on Bella's status for today?

Who knows, but Eduardo is one example of a lack of such development, although it’s just year 2. Commentators gushed last year about him, and he had flashes of “oh my, he might be really good”. but he didn’t get stronger in the off season, and he hasn’t developed his skills. He may have regressed. On the other hand, and in fairness to the staff, Walker has developed. Even improved his free throw shooting

Appreciate the argument, but I think a failure on both.

Insightful post. Hadn’t thought of it that way.

My take has been mistakes by Fred from the get go. Had a free reign and money from Moos to hire top shelf assistants, and instead hired a weak staff. Let Matt function as the sole GM for talent acquisition. Figured he could coach up anyone Matt brought in. The mercenary approach didn’t allow for strong culture in the program. Despite a great reputation and the early enthusiasm behind the hire, didn’t get one Nebraska kid despite a lot of prospects. Player development non-existent. But I get people being perplexed given the success at Iowa State. With a system geared for 3 point shot, how could we be in year 3 where we can’t shoot it worth a damn? But of course problems are WAY deeper than that.

I don’t feel the same way. This shouldn’t be lumped in with any other sport. No excuses for the culture of the basketball program. Baseball and wrestling are 2 men’s sports who do well and compete the right way. And while football is down, the level of effort was night and day different than this mess. I’m not aware of any other sport where we’ve been dead last 3 straight years.

And effort.

Been watching since 1965, and this is the worst coached team I have seen in those years.

Pretty sure both

I’m sure Fred thinks Lakes is better

There is precedent for running off guys who are better than many of the stiffs who remain

Eduardo getting 5 fouls in 8 minutes was impressive. Not everyone can do that. Kesei was awful. Exposed tonight as a player not suited for this level. Walker the lone bright spot.

Way over the top post. Both teams have really good, competitive players. Throwing out all kinds of over the top adjectives is not impressive—“terrible, atrocious, quitter, whiny, terrible again, pathetic”. Easy to tell when mouthy denigrating people never accomplished anything athletically themselves.

And also replace poor to average 3 point shooters with new guys who come in and shoot them great….

Maybe with some patience and development, he could have done that here.

Never could figure out why we ran this guy off

We run the table. No conference wins.

Correct. #1 seed. Won the regular season title, undefeated. Lost in the Big 12 tournament. Made the Sweet 16, ran out of gas against Kentucky. Made another Sweet 16 2-3 years later, plus a Big 10 tournament title. Then, Eichorst. .

We have never made it to a Final Four in women’s basketball.

Unbelievably poor awareness and effort.

Kind of like Copeland’s ACL tear on a dead ball. Thought about that immediately when Wilhelm went down.
