I see it going one of three ways… If Nebraska cared or had any expectations at all, they would not retain Fred. They would bring in a new coach and start investing more money into players. If Nebraska cared some, they would bring back Fred and pay for better players. If Nebraska doesn’t care at all, they will retain Fred and give him a similar player budget next year. I fully expect Fred to come back and to have a similar budget. That’s what Nebraska basketball is.

After the UCLA game, I had high hopes for this team. Crazy how it has changed so quickly. I hate talking about it because I love Fred. But….IF the bottom drops out on this season, how do you seriously bring him back if you even remotely care about Nebraska basketball? I don’t think you can. The media and a chunk of the fan base will simp for him…but what serious program is going to bring him back with that record?

Just terrible. This team was trending so well just a few weeks ago, and now Hoiberg might have yet another losing season. I hope that doesn’t happen, but wow it does not look good.

Maybe it’s just me, but when Painter still had starters in rather late just continuing to murder us while showboating, I’m a little shocked a few of the Nebraska players didn’t start “getting more physical”. Of course when you are 8’ away from them on a close-out and they drill a three, there’s probably not a lot you can do. I like Painter a lot and didn’t think he did anything bush….at some point, Nebraska players have to have the pride to stop it. A few hard fouls to Loyer and Smith would have stopped that nonsense. Maybe I’m out of line for thinking that. Bad game, erase it, move on.

This team is dangerous. 1. Point guard play matters. We have that this year. 2. As much as I love(d) Tominaga, Wilcher, and Mast….our team defense is significantly better without them. We close out faster and rebound better. Defense and point guard play both travel and matter in March. Make the NCAA Tournament this year and I think our history of bad fortune comes to an end.
