    Also as a point of order I would like to add to the HHC annals ”Coach is getting on a plane, but before he boarded... " as lexicon that signifies near certainty.

    Saw a tweet that said something like "Nebraska just got a new hardest worker" and that's always a good thing I think when there's also some stats/numbers to back it up.

    The most likely scenario is that Nebraska, Georgetown, and St Peters are on there to hype his announcement to attend Austin Peay.

    So you think if you look back at a ref for 2 seconds (not stare him down) and then run down the court and not say a word that warrants getting T'd up?  I've seen players as well as coaches act way worse and not get T'd up.  Sorry, I totally disagree with you.  That is just a bad ref who missed the call trying to show up a player.

    Which call?  The one where the Wisconsin guy jumps on Walker to get a jump ball?  The one where the ref by the Wisconsin bench overrules a charge call?  The one where the ball goes off Wisconsin, but they don't overturn it?  The one where Verge gets a T for looking back at the ref?  The one where Davidson runs over Kobe, and they call a block?

    It'd be tough to have any home games anytime soon. After the thousands of Iowegia grappling fans that will invade PBA this weekend with the beer taps flowing, the place is going to need some serious airing out and sanitizing for a few weeks. The same probably goes for the entire Haymarket area. Blecch.

    Selective Dick's would be a good name for a bar.  Like one of those tacky tiki bar kind of places in Key West or something.

    To Blackshirt83 and any other critics of the husker fans...stop.  every football and basketball coach that came through this program have appreciated the fans.  This includes Bo and Billy C.  Yes, at times passion and unfair expectations are over the top; but nonetheless, fans by tickets, husker paraphernalia and hype to an extraordinarily high level. 
    But most of us have reasonable expectations.   They have been outlined thousands of times; but to refresh, we want to win the right way.  Representing the community respectfully, hustle, work ethic are of utmost importance. 
    Those of us passionate about husker basketball understood that moving to the upper echelon of college basketball would take time.  We also recognized that the level of talent, schematic adjustments and effort seemed to be lacking.  For fans not to react to that would be counter intuitive.   
    If you or any fan critic participated in a sport at this wonderful University, you know that even the best coaching staffs spent time on the fan hot seats.  This forum is a very healthy site to vent with others that share the passion of husker hoops.  Some of us have been here from the start up of the site.  It is sometimes ugly, sometimes sad, but always entertaining 😎

    You want to know why..... TRUST.
     
    It's hard to attain with a merry band of misfits. But, somehow, after losing 16 of 17 B1G games, these young fellows decided enough is enough. Let's BALL OUT! And, most importantly, let's do it TOGETHER.
     
    That's the reason, it's a weird deal. I actually had been thinking a lot about that exhibition game against the CU Buffs. That's what the Hoiberg offense is supposed to look like. I hope these particular fellows can replicate it on Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio. Because, more than anything, the players were having fun sharing it & scoring it; and we all know SHARING is CARING. Like I said, it's a matter of trust.

    Downside: We still don't know how to win a close game.
    Upside: Winning via a curb-stomp is way more fun than a close win anyway.

    After TA announced that FH was coming back as our coach our offense and for the most part our D and rebounding has been really solid?
     
    Interesting!

    I agree about Lat.  But what are the other options?  Wilhelm has been out all year.  The only other option at PF is Wilcher, who is about 6'4".  Combine Wilcher at 6'4 (and no vertical) with Walker at 6',7" (and no vertical), and ya all wonder why we struggle to rebound and defend.

    This was my train of thought as well, guys like Sean miller, will wade and Bruce pearl have all done terrible recruiting violations and basically got slaps on the wrist.  Miller coached for 4 more years after they had him on tape paying a dude.  I’m not saying we didn’t do anything wrong, but the NCAA has shown again and again when it comes to rule enforcement they don’t really do much.  Also, with NIL now being a thing would it mean it has to be an infraction that isn’t money related?  That’s what scares me more than paying kids or buying them shoes or something.  I suppose if it’s true time will tell.

    No matter the outcome of this, I will say that hearing Sir Charles speak so highly of the cheating and guilty scumbag auburn HC during Saturday's game was disgusting.  That dude actually won by cheating and after several years gets a wag of the finger. 
     
    As far as Matt A goes...his record screamed suspect, but at the same time he's a young dude with a young family in an industry that semi encourages habitual line stepping.  
     
    I'm starting to hate everything about college sports.

    No. I've been highly critical of Hoiberg et al this year. But no. You absolutely have to take these things into consideration:

    1. No one was returning from Miles's last team. And the recruiting class he was bringing in was hot trash. Hoiberg had to literally round up whoever he could find to have a team. 
    2. Last year wasn't just a "covid year" for us. It was a disaster. I really think last year's team was significantly better than what we saw. Also, he kept dudes fighting and playing all year, regardless of the record. 
    3. To me, this truly is year 1. Year 1.5 at best. 

    I also think we're pivoting. Zigging while others are zagging. Hoiberg and crew were on the cutting edge with transfers. But now that everyone is doing it and it's way weirder, I like the traditional guys they're bringing in. Lawrence, Dawson, and Lloyd are all supposedly just super solid players that fit well with Wilhelm, McPherson, Oleg, and Tominaga (Bryce and Trey are gone don't even try to think about them here next year. Won't happen). And, supposedly, Blaise Keita is maybe the best big available out there. Let's give this time.
