Wilcher has been a huge liability on D so far this game. Just bad match ups for him regardless who he's guarding.

I give you permission to give a carp, as they are not in short supply. But seriously, where the hype train needs to stop first is from Fred and Matt (if he's retained). If fans want to get excited, so be it.

I guess there won't be any point in going to the games next year then. Maybe Norm can still get that upgrade after all.

I hope they prove you wrong.

Verge certainly doesn't want to pass the ball to Tominaga.

Just curious, what was our conference winning margin during that time?

Just reporting what was said during the TV broadcast. FWIW, Reese was complaining that Bryce had a hold of his leg when he was falling to the floor. The replay confirmed this. Did it warrant the shove? No, but the actions of both players may have come into play as to why the refs decided to go with the flagrant 1.

Agreed. Who's working on the combined laughing/crying emoji? That is all fans that still care can do at this point.

Robbie Hummel was told by the official that the shove occurred after the play had stopped. Apparently for this type of dead ball infraction, the player is assessed a flagrant 1, thus no ejection.

Yes, we need better talent, but the clip has nothing to do with talent. This is basic stuff. Either Trey or Bryce was responsible for blocking out the shooter and neither one did. I could say this is on the coaches, but I can't imagine the McGowens brothers haven't been taught this at some point in time during their basketball career. Having said this, if, and it appears to be a big IF, players are being held accountable by the coaching staff for these types of errors, whatever they are doing isn't working.

Regarding Keisei, one thing I've noticed that could limit him playing the point is that he does not use his right hand to pass the ball or shoot it for that matter. He seems to dribble fine with his off hand however. Having said this, I don't see him filling this role.

We're Nebraska basketball fans. Why are you asking us for?

At least Andre was hustling on the play which can't be said about Bryce.

There is no doubt that we shouldn't be where we are in year 3 under Fred, but I'm curious who those upperclassmen would be? In part due to the extra covid year, we could have the following players still here: Akol Arop Kevin Cross Cam Mack Shamiel Stevenson Dachon Burke Samari Curtis Jervay Green Yvan Ouedraogo Thor Thorbjarnarson Delano Banton Teddy Allen Elijah Wood Of this group, the biggest loss IMO was Banton who left on his own. Curtis did as well. Some sent themselves packing. Cross is the one player I wish we would have kept as his game has developed and I think he would have fit in well with this team. Who else would have been better fits than who we currently have on the roster?

Kobe has Gold Member standing in the Paratrooper Club.

I'm guessing someone/s weren't paying attention in the huddle. Otherwise, WTF?

Looking to make more than just the simple play.

I know I'm not supposed to get excited until these guys get here and put on a Husker uniform and actually do something against B1G competition, but damn it...despite the current state of our program under Fred, I want to see these guys playing together next season.

You can call it an agenda, but I viewed it as trying to give an accurate depiction of fan interest at the time. Attendance used to be reported by the turnstile, then the university changed to reporting attendance by tickets sold and there isn't any debating as to why. It looks better on paper, but I don't know who they think they are fooling.

Not to nit pick, but 2 out of 7 isn't near half of the time and that 19 win season was with a 6-14 conference record, which put us in the bottom four of the B1G and is where his team's resided in every other season that we didn't finish in the top 4. If his teams would have finished in the middle of the pack a couple of those years, he probably would still be here. I thought Tim was a good hire at the time (I thought Doc and Collier were good hires at the time as well) but I also thought it was the right move to move on from him. Having said that and as others have already said, I never thought in my wildest dreams that we would be where we are today under Hoiberg. Absolutely unbelievable.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this. If he returns, Andre probably leaves with Keita coming in.

I don't see either one coming back next year, especially Trey. I think the McGowen's plan from the get go was one year together and then go pro. I think they said as much on one of their podcasts. Walker is old and I can't imagine he wouldn't want to get paid for playing basketball.

'Trey's still getting back up to speed' might not be about his foot/endurance. Since he's been back he has forced the issue on offense on multiple occasions and did so again last night. He's trying to do too much at times, much like Verge and I think that may be why they both remained on the bench down the stretch.

Youngster.
