Nebrasketball1979

I would beg to differ. The 9 year old team I coach is marginally worse than Nebraska. We shoot something like 40% on a very good day.

Yeah, overtime...still time to get the cover

NU - 84 Southern - 58

I agree with this sentiment as there are likely many layers to this onion we are not aware of. My hope is that Nebraska went down the path they did as a result of conversations they had with the NCAA before they submitted their waiver. I still hold out hope that because Stevenson played in 4 games for Pitt that the NCAA is waiting for Nebraska to complete 4 games before declaring him eligible for the rest of the year as a Sophomore. That seems the most fair to me and for Stevenson given his circumstances. The NCAA is often illogical so maybe this is just a pipe dream.

Consistency will be an issue all year but sign me up for this brand of basketball. This is fun and just the beginning. Wait till Fred has several recruiting classes under him!

The best 8 minutes of the Hoiberg era!!! Please step on their throats now!

I feel confident we see growth tonight and our first win. Let's go get a rabbit pelt...GBR!

Keep in mind that I believe Stevenson played 4 games as a sophomore at Pitt. I've always suspected/hoped that the NCAA will make a ruling after our 4th game and declare him immediately eligible as a Sophomore with the balance of this year to play plus two more seasons. Given the unique situation, that seems the most fair to me but this is the NCAA after all.

Feeling surprisingly good about this one. NU - 78 SDSU - 67

After the train wreck I watched Saturday, this pick makes no sense but I will go down with the ship as well NU 78 SUU 73

You are absolutely correct and I think I know where you were heading. The CBI and CIT tournaments allow sub 500 teams to play as long as you write a check. I don't believe there is any sort of minimum win requirement to get into these tournaments.

Hey guys...all we have to do is get hot over a 5 day stretch in March and we are dancing,.

Does anyone know exactly how long it took to build Rome... trying to figure out how many liver donors I might need

So I think we know just how crappy the state of basketball is in Italy

Maybe this final 8 minutes will be the best 8 minutes of the Hoiberg era and we can lose by single digits.

Glass half full...perhaps Riverside is a final four caliber team this year.

Huskers - 79 Riverside - 67 7 1

Yep, I just got mine. i don't believe you can get these online, so call 402-472-3111. We got great seats but I'm guessing these will be gobbled up quickly.

Just to clear confusion...Roby was drafted by the Pistons and promptly traded to the Mavericks

The drought is over...Roby to Dallas via trade!!!

The Golden State Warriors acquired an extra 2nd round pick this morning - #41 from the Atlanta Hawks. They are likely losing Durant, Bogut is old, and Cousins is likely gone to another team. Golden State was one of a handful of teams that interviewed Roby during the combine and they also had him out recently for a private workout. I'm calling my shot and saying that Roby ends our 21st Century draft drought and is selected #41 by the Golden State Warriors.

Mack Roby - 41st to Warriors

Here's to hoping his future son is a five star recruit!

This is all you are missing, just drink the damn koolaid, enjoy the ride, and certainly don't ask legitimate questions, at least not until October! ?

I do believe there is more to this story. My son and I had a chance to talk to Tom after the Butler game. During warm ups before this game, Tom was out taking shots, moving normally and having fun with the guys. He was not doing any sort of agility drills or cutting on his ankle so it was tough to discern if he was really close to playing or not. Anyways, after the game, we were chatting with Tom and we asked how his ankle was. He said he was getting close and he was planning to try and give it a go against TCU. My son and I made the trek to Fort Worth for the TCU game and Tom did not participate in warmups and we noticed he was walking with much more of a limp. He certainly looked to be in far more discomfort and pain prior to the TCU game than he was before Butler. So, my guess is that Tom's ankle was starting to feel better with rest leading up to the TCU game. I believe he either further injured or aggravated the existing injury in the days after the Butler game leading up to TCU game trying to give it a go in practice. Given the timing that the season ended against TCU and Tom entered his name shortly thereafter into the transfer portal, there really wasn't much time for Nebraska's medical staff to re-evaluate his ankle. I suspect that Nebraska saw nothing of significant concern on the initial x-rays they took and decided that rest and rehab was the best course of action and I presume the next course of action would have been an MRI if there was no improvement to the ankle. If Tom would have stuck around, I feel pretty confident that he would have undergone the same MRI and been scheduled for the same surgery that he is having now. I do not believe this reflects poorly on the medical training staff and was just an unfortunate set of circumstances and timing.
