Those are great seats for anyone still concerned about social distancing

Coach Krzyzewski...he will be available next year and has had a nice little run at a few different stops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Krzyzewski

That sounds like a challenge most on this board would be willing to accept.

Yeah, I wonder who our 2nd round opponent will be and if we will make adjustments from the loss(es) to them earlier in the season. Interesting and curious indeed.

Someone should find out if Warren Buffett is a Nebrasketball fan. This whole buyout figure is like couch change to him.

I'm happy to provide a personal Venmo or Paypal account if you want to start sending buyout contributions to me

Wow, talk about a negative Nancy! Did you ever for a split second stop to think that we can still finish above .500 in conference play?!?!? Yeah, me either, even after drinking spiked NyQuil to raise the spirits and find hope. But alas, only despair and darkness... lots and lots of darkness. Your campaign for history is worthy.

Wisconsin - 78 Nebraska - 72 14

Interesting and also silly. Anyways, I'll refrain from getting the soapbox out

That Kennesaw St. win is looking better by the day!

Many of us on here were skeptical this team could go a whole week without losing. Here we are fellas. Dare I say, progress?

I completely agree with this sentiment. However, the one thing we do have going for us, which is sad itself, is that there is a good likelihood that most of our roster changes over again. This at least gives Fred a chance to reset, both himself and with new coaches, for likely one final time under the watchful eye of Trev.

My vote is each team gets half a win and half a loss. Seems fair

It's not a loss on Saturday so I would err on the side of thanks!

Some players and people mature later in life or, based on other threads, perhaps he's now being held more accountable. In any event, I'm happy for him.

Yes, agree it's a terrible look for the Coaching staff. And, I'm not getting on Kobe for telling the truth. For me, it's the forum and manner in which this came out. It will be interesting to see if this is addressed by anyone else inside the program or if this is attempted to be walked back in some way.

Damon put into words what I couldn't yesterday. I'm sure many will disagree but the adults in the room didn't do Kobe a solid yesterday. What he said, while likely true, is very damaging to the team and to Kobe personally. Maybe he doesn't care but base on how I have perceive him to be a leader, I'm guessing he has some regret about the interview today. I suspect the locker room will be even icier today than it probably already was on this dysfunctional team. And I have no faith in the Coaches to address this appropriately. DP has built a rapport with these players and the opportunities he has given them on his network. I commend him for that and for allowing them to build their "brands". Based on the nature of the interview, DP's clearly had many off air discussions with Kobe and knew how he felt. It sounded like they were talking about these exact same issues immediately prior to coming back to break before Kobe unloaded. While egging Kobe on, I believe the other host kept giggling and telling him to be careful, obviously knowing what he was about to say was very sensitive, damaging, and something that is better off addressed in the locker room. While the interview was good radio and message board fodder, I find it very cringey for all involved. Yes, Kobe is a young adult and can do and say what he pleases but the other adults in the room should have realized what the fallout and ramifications would be. They have both been in locker rooms and knew what the fallout would be. It was just a bad look for 93.7 in my opinion.

It's the "stupid ass drum" that is scaring away all of our in state talent. I thought that correlation was fairly obvious

Is this.rock bottom? Sorry, couldn't resist.

We do not look disciplined enough to play zone, which really falls on the coaches and likely a lack of emphasis on it at practice. Again, our defensive rotations in man are very slow which doesn't bode well for zone. My opinion is that we rotate poorly due to a lack of communication and want to. Zone won't fix that.

I've long been a proponent of trying something different with this team - from starting lineups (we haven't tinkered nearly enough in my opinion) to offensive and defensive philosophies. I really enjoyed when Miles would throw the 1-3-1 at teams for a few possessions. It usually was good for 1-2 bad possessions from the offense - either in a turnover or bad shot with the shot clock winding down. Miles was able to find success in this because he typically had an uber athletic guy like Roby at the top creating difficult passing angles. We don't really have that on this team. Bryce might be the best bet but he doesn't seem to have the "want to". Anyways, I know the coaches have dabbled with a regular 2-3 zone this year but it always looked really clunky. We rotate poorly in our help man defense and our rotations looked even worse in a zone. I'm sure this would improve if it was practiced and emphasized in practice. However, I don't think it matters what defense we run if we don't have 5 guys on the court that take pride in it. Getting Trey back certainly helps and hopefully that sets the tone for others on the team to follow.
