For anyone's future reference this is equivalent to throwing on your hazard lights in a tow away zone. To circle back, right, wrong or indifferent what the guys said was what they said. To me there is more meaning in having to collect, process, and state your own thoughts and opinions than reciting them from someone else. That's sort of the point of an university education.

If Mike Flood can get the B1G football vote information can he also get us the 2019 NIT committee seeding tallies?

We've lost the following in the last 100 days: Eddie Sutton, Lou Henson, Lute Olson and John Thompson

The NCAA has trademarked "Battle in the Bubble" https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/ncaa-trademarks-battle-in-the-bubble

If you didn't happen to watch the actual video, this also included Fred Hoiberg

I updated the thread with a much improved title!

Teddy Allen was 45 at Boys Town, 13 at West Virginia, 23 at WNCC so he doesn't seem real set on a number. Doesn't seem like a situation where he asked Arop if he could have 0. Arop's twitter handle is "akol_33" so i'm not sure if "33" is of importance to him or if it's one of those deals that other names were taken. He was #0 at Creighton Prep and no one had 33 last year.

0 - Teddy Allen 2 - Trey McGowens 3 - Elijah Woods 10 - Kobe Webster 11 - Lat Mayen 14 - Trevor Lakes 30 - Chris McGraw 33 - Akol Arop (0 last year) 35 - Eduardo Andre

I'm not sure if Webster and Allen wrote individual statements or if these were collaborations with teammates. I thought it was important to dictate what Webster and Allen said for the same reason I often do with regular coach pressers: it's personally easier for me to process written information than spoken. I've thought that Webster and Allen would probably be among the leading scorers on this team; those two speaking as opposed to someone like Derrick Walker who was here last year and has been an established voice for this team sort of points to those two being the leaders on the court that guys look to at the end of a game. The other thing I'd point out is that these players didn't need to come out and make a statement, and the coaching staff didn't need to participate and the support staff didn't need to set up a press conference; they did so because they felt it was the right thing to do.

Yesterday, the team came out and one by one named someone they were standing for. At the end Kobe Webster and Teddy Allen read from notes they had brought with them. Webster: "We stand together as one to find ways to educate people to hopefully stop this terrible trend of lives being lost for no reason. This is not a political fight. This is about being a decent human being. Hate is such a strong word that is unfortunately used and acted on too much in today's world. We know we are not going to change everything that is going on by standing here today. The goal for us is simply to make our community and our state stand behind us and in not accepting these injustices as ok and turning a blind eye. We cannot allow this great country to be filled with so much hatred and anger towards one another. It is not a place that we want to live in when knowing that when we leave the house we might not return because someone views us as a threat. A threat being our skin color or wearing a hoodie, or by simply looking different than someone else, or sadly by sitting in our own living room." Allen: "There is no denying that we have different stories and backgrounds. We all have moments in our life where we've had to overcome something, but the color of my skin is different, putting me at a higher risk. We are tired about talking about the same things over and over while losing precious lives along the way. Are we fighting a pointless fight? How many more hashtags need to be created by the police for people to start caring? We cannot only care when it is convenient; we cannot only care when it impacts us directly. Caring about someone else's life should fall within basic human ideals. We are standing here together as black and white people making it clear that we are sickened by the events in our country involving police brutality and systematic injustices towards our black people. We want to play a roll in change and we want you all to join us. No more hashtags, only change."

Thanks Jimmy. While i very much understand why various issues are important to everyone I will say that it's mentally taxing on me to have to discern between what is and what isn't acceptable to talk about, which has been a constant issue since the sports world ground to a halt. I've spent an hour today trying to figure how if it's my responsibility to say something, say nothing, etc.

If Blake had lived the exact same life but looked like me, he most likely would not have been shot. This is about wanting the amount of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness to not be dependent on the color of your skin.

I could argue that we would have fielded a competitive with Erick Strickland, Mikki Moore, Bernard Garner, Jaron Boone, and Terreance Badgett without Tyronn Lue but I wouldn't.

Feels like we're already in the 'remember the good times' post Miles era

Classic Nebrasketball to have a guy get murdered for not being able to recruit the state of Nebraska (including me) and then to not be here at the point he potentially finally figured it out. I'm all in on the Hoiberg era but i'm going to check and see how much blood is in my urine after listening to that podcast. In a world where some kids base their college decision on tweets I can very much respect a kid who has put thought into their list of schools beyond how it's going to look in a graphic.

*Ahem*

6'4" SG out of New Jersey You're getting a mixed bag when it comes to finding videos of guys on the internet so I'd like to comment about how nicely organized this one is.

Forgot all about this guy when he actually made it to Nebraska back in 2018 as part of the Cal St Fullerton team. He didn't log a minute against us and has had a pretty lackluster career.

6'8" SF out of Middletown, NY

6'8" PF out of Des Moines We offered him in August 2020 http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/omaha-biliew https://247sports.com/Article/Omaha-Biliew-basketball-recruiting-Iowa-Nebraska-Arkansas-Georgia-150625647/

I found the final tipton edit!

Bill Simmons was also talking about how he thought he'd make a good replacement in New Orleans. Lue's reputation for being able to keep egos in check along with his coaching chops makes me think he's going to have a head coaching gig next season.

For the record I'm poo-pooing their basketball success for the last decade.

Big news, though relative to the size of Archie Miller what isn't?
