    Pharrel Payne also in the portal now. Bummer for Ben Johnson. Two in-state guys leaving. They were looking to have tourney aspirations next year as nearly their entire rotation could've returned. 

    Gophers need to start a rock bottom

    thread cuz it’s gonna get worse if Payne is already leaving

    I fully expect (and expected) to lose Keita, CJ, and Lloyd. 

     

    I think anyone in here starting to downplay Rice's potential is just sour grapes. Kid had loads of potential. 

    He could shoot it from deep and get to the bucket as a freshman without having the ball in his hands much.  And we are complaining about his defense and that he was hunched over when he ran….

  3. Refs in general in the woman’s tournament seem to be brutal this years.  Refs in the men’s tournament are inconsistent but for the most part seem to know what they are doing. Refs in the woman’s tournament seem to not know what they are doing at times lol 

  4. Such a bummer to get back to back dud performances from Shelley and Potts. Felt like if we got 1 or 2 more threes or point blank shots to go in during those first three quarters we woulda had a real shot in the 4th quarter. 
     

    Gotta make sure we keep Potts this offseason, hopefully the rumors are just people stirring things up. Then need to get a transfer 6’0 combo guard that can attack the rim and defend other teams studs.  A 6’4” back up center would be really nice too. 
     

    the future feels super bright even with todays set back

    Really? 

     

    I thought the A&M coach was awful.  They had an athletic and physical team; but schematicaly did nothing to leverage them.  The ex-A&M player turned announcer kept referencing their injuries without referencing our injury.  Amy never panicked and despite an underwhelming 4th quarter, pulled out the win.  This Nebraska coach, who many bash, now has a team, that leverages the entire roster, in the top 32 in the entire country.   A team that is now in the top 10% in the country.  A team that had, arguably, it's best player in foul trouble within the first 3 minutes, yet prevailed.

     

    I'm really, really unsure what people want or see when the see this Husker team compete.  But for me, I see a few exceptional players typically perform at a high level, and I see role players who work hard plugging gaps and oftentimes excel when asked.  

    I just started following the husker women closely this year(having 2 daughters will do that to a guy I guess) and I’ve been pretty confused by the fans that don’t like her as a coach. 

     

    we won last night based on us having an offensive scheme and them just playing 1 on 1 basketball IMO which to me is the definition of coaching.  I’d say the only athlete we had on par with them speed/agility wise is white and she’s 5’6” yet we still found a way to win by finding and hitting open threes. 
     

    she’s also recruiting at what I would say is a high level the last 2-3 years with those results showing this year

     

    i don't get the hate 

  6. Have we ever even seen him play in an exhibition game or a scrimmage while at Nebraska? It’s just the weirdest thing as it seems he looks the part of at minimum being a rotation player in the BIG 10.  Maybe it is just all the dad being over controlling.  I’ll be interested to see what level of program interest he receives once he’s in the portal.

    Well the place is a toxic waste dump of a message board, but here's what I could find on Ulis over at an Iowa site:

    Good for the 2 guys on that forum that must have Atleast half a brain to say experienced 6’3 PGs don’t just grow on trees.  Idk anything about the other PGs on Iowa but sounds like they are short, not much for the weight room, and the other options a walk on.

    Did anybody watch AJ Plitzueweit this year or have any info on him? He played at USD and is from Vermillion. He’s ranked number 3 in Torviks’s list of remaining scoring PGs.

    However, he suffered a significant knee injury that sidelined him for over a year and a half. His stats dropped a decent amount this year. Thoughts?

    Stats

    That injury really hampered his lateral movement ability,  a grad transfer pg like I believe he is would probably be the best way for us to go IMO.

    San Diego St would be tough to beat right now. They lost 3 of their 4 bigs who played last year and the other is testing the NBA draft but could still return.

     

    Would love to add Allick to the rotation though. 

    Ya seems like a pretty easy choice unless he just wants to come back home and play for a year which would be great for us lol

     

    i don’t think he’s a starter here tho where as he started for New Mexico and like basketballjones said he was looking for a bigger role

    I’m very surprised he’s considering us - his reasons for transferring (his words) were so he could have an increased role and freedom offensively. He’s not receiving that here in terms of minutes or role. 

    Not sure he’s received the interest that he thought he would.  Although it looks like San Diego State is interested and he visited there this weekend.  
     

    we should’ve looked at him last off-season. We woulda been a fan favorite and a great guy to have on last years squad.
