Coach Miles was hired the beginning of Spring my Freshman year at UNL. About everyday for 3 week I picked up his plate at the continental breakfast in the Embassy Suites downtown where I worked, often with a, "good morning coach" if he wasn't on the phone. Now I'm all nostalgic. I do wish Coach Miles had a longer leash than he was give, but this is big 5 college basketball and unless you get results and meet expectations, you get fired. Looking back, one sour point for me: I think the team Andrew White transferred off of could have competed and possibly made the NIT.

Mainly I just don't think star power or a quick fix is possible or smart at GONU. I feel we need a program builder, and that's why I like a guy like Wes Miller. Of course you could just say that he's just Tim Miles 2.0...

We got beat by a small lineup for most of the game. Even when Copeland was still in they were playing small and beating us up and down the court. Tim's seat is obviously scalding hot rn, but maybe we just needed to be down and out to really fight again. Going to be harder without Cope. All starts with a big win against the badgers

Just nah? Ty lue is much closer to Eddie Jordan than penny Hardaway to ty lue. Penny had his own shoe in the NBA and Ty is know for getting crossed by Allen Iverson and then stepped over. Also James Wiseman the number 2 prospect is from Memphis.

Nana has been disappointing, but Roby freaking kills me when he just disappears for 8 minutes at a time.

Wes Miller from UNC Greensboro

Michigan is scary good

Damn. Nice analysis, then you did him dirty

More than anything I hate how we have lost on the road. Not who we lost to, just how we lost. Against Minnesota and UMD we were up, and needed a few key stops to put it away. Against Iowa we were down, got a few key stops, and couldn't score. In fact, I think down the stretch in the Iowa game down we got like 3 straight turnovers and didn't score. Can't do that. What if we lose the rest of our road games (except Illinois, Penn State and Rutgers) and win every home game? I would be completely happy with that. It would put us in the top four in the conf for seeding in tournament. It sucks we lost those three games, but we are still a dangerous team who hasn't lost at home since we lost by 1 to Kansas in 2017.... It's not crazy to think we could go undefeated at the vault

I'll be at the game tonight wearing a red cap and cheering loud.

No one has mentioned Seton Hall's (yes another) buzzer beater over St. Johns yesterday.

This will help Illinois' recruiting. Not sure how I feel about the NCAA selecting players to invite to these camps. Would be nice to have up to 600 prospects coming to your campus on NCAA's dime https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2018-12-18/four-sites-selected-youth-basketball-camps?cid=InsidetheNCAA_tw_sf204466992&sf204466992=1&fbclid=IwAR1B0cL7EijGuvtfZpgK87l8hfaEjE5jMjUGIsypjfyZyiDHwQGFVIyFIWw

Texas Tech - Duke game tomorrow. Culver is shooting himself into the middle of the first round if he keeps it up, and definitely worth a watch to see how good Tech really is.

Specific states or regions have the "infrastructure" to produce high level athletes in certain sports. Basketball never had that in Nebraska until recently. The big thing today is creating competitive year round basketball for hoopers in Nebraska. I think that creates more prospects, plus more exposure, for those prospects.

Going to Arizona. Still looks really good

The thread isn't about this, but Nova deserves a 'down' year. Their 2019 recruiting class is the best IMO for next year. They are only getting better. Losing practically losing everyone from last year, and next year they are going to be great again. Life in CB

So Matthew retweeted something about Chucky Hepburn... Did they meet on a visit to Lincoln? Practically a soft verbal for both of them playing together in Lincoln

Moos sucks. If losing @ Minnesota is the worse loss this year and we continue our home game winning streak, the Minnesota loss will be a small pothole in a golden brick road. Assuming Minnesota is an NIT level team Way too early for people to be going crazy like this. I was on another board, and they were coming up with lists of replacements after the Minnesota game. Really makes me think who I hate more, creighton fans or the breed of husker fans that blindly want Miles gone and will never credit him for the positive things he has done.

Can we all not talk about it? Since we're all looking him up, let's just not talk about it. He is really good. Probably NBA good

I am sorry, and I am not going to look up the stats or if anyone has said this already, but COFFEY HAD 17 FREE THROW ATTEMPTS. That is not normal. He made 15 of them. No one should get to the line like that. We are a way better team than Minnesota. I'm pissed off. Refs played to the crowd all night.

Does anyone remember when Jahlil Okafor visited? I think a young ed morrow may have been on that trip too (as well as Kendrick nunn?). That trip was a big deal. He was very highly touted out of high school and college, and his whole aau tram came through. It is sad to see how jahlil's NBA career has turned out.

Oh come on. I don't think you know the evan taylor story? He was plucked from obscurity by Tim Miles. End of story

The fact Evan Taylor is in the g league now should extend Miles' contract 2 years

Im just going to bet now that we will be a poor rebounding team. Hell I think we were last or second to last in the Big Ten last season in rebounding, and we lost a couple bigs.

Even for aau or whatever showcase this is, that is some lazy up and down. Hard to watch when everyone doesn't try
