IU scoring at will right now; need to amp up that D in the second half.

I think "quit" is an oversimplification. My take is we wilted under the weight of rare high expectations. Really took a toll on this group and you could see 3 weeks ago things were drastically wrong and no fun was being had. At this point, unfortunately, it reminds me of 2017 football. Everyone knows how it's going to end, but we have to play out the string and it is really hard to watch it unfold. We were in deep trouble before the Copeland injury, but now we're rolling out only 4-5 legitimate Big 12 players (and at least 2 of those are in horrible slumps), and that isn't enough. I think they're still trying, in the abstract, but it's a mess.

You can want him all you want, but you realize he isn't coming here, right? And it has nothing to do with what we're willing to pay. So you might just want to expand your list beyond one.

Actually, his problem was he couldn't guard anyone. Not sure what you were watching.

This way was more fun. ? ?

Good Lord, they really are coming out of the woodwork in the dark times. Prepare for 2 months of troll season. Good timing to make a comeback, Lanigan.

My vote for douche of the century goes to Corn blow by.

Illinois 74 NU 68

Prolly won't be hearing from Kearney Man tonight.

28 and 12 for Hannah; only 1 turnover. Well done!

One of the best shots I have ever seen. And I'm old as dirt.

Holy crap, Haiby! What was that! ?

Are we ever going to get a good whistle in this league? Gets so old

Both are fine; both can be great fans, as long as what they wish to happen is good things for the team, regardless of what they think will happen. If that makes any sense.

Well said, Silverbacked. Hit the nail right on the head for those of us who have this a big part of our life despite the suckage. I don't know when that someday is, but if I"m still vertical, I will be there basking in it.

Ah, the infamous scrimmage open to the public. The night we found out Dedoch Chan or whatever his name was couldn't play a lick. And that we wished Dachon Burke was immediately eligible. And I hoped the horrible outside shooting displayed that night by the entire team was an aberration. turns out we can't shoot layups either.

Took me a day to finally get it. Good one, Cip.

How about us poor bastards who have been on a 5 decade journey? ??

The smoke started at the highest levels. It was the smoke getting quite public that caused the vote of confidence. Which as you say is somewhat unique. A lot of things happening since November. Efforts were always being made to try to make it work. For now, it looks like its working.

I tell you what, the line is holding this morning at NU -1 to -2. Very intriguing. I would think we would be a dog. Vegas may be up to something. Or maybe I'm just looking for a reason to be hopeful.

No, it's KansasHusker. And Norm Peterson.

We won't, because if we did that would make is as pitiful as you.

You have no idea how long the suffering can go on, youngster......?

Losing the close ones but in the games. I haven't been watching in person but it seems like we're getting better. Encouraging to see better play out of Cain and Simon today; hoping for consistency with that. Perhaps we'll be playing our best basketball around tournament time.
