Travis Justice (at left) gives his endorsement of Troy Dannen, as they have known each other for over 30 years: "Great pick for Nebraska"

 

It all seemed good until seeing that

The last time we played Texas A&M was at home during our last year in the Big 12. They came in coached by Mark Turgeon and powered by sophomore and Future NBA player Khris Middleton.  We ended up shutting them down defensively and winning 57-48, a classic Doc Sadler game.  Students rushed the court afterwards.

 

 

 

Just don't bring up 2009

They “didn’t” foul and we missed shots.  Easy as that.

We are clearly tired and forcing shots each trip. 

If you take it to the rim you get hammered with no calls what the fuck else are you supposed to fucking do

Brad Underwood is a fucking low life

Totally fucking legit game here.

what a fucking fuck job

Fuck you and your crooked fucking refs, big ten

I haven’t seen anything this choreographed since the Ler Oswald prison transfer

Just a total fuck job by the refs this half, Illinois comes out playing like hockey goons and the fouls are 9-3. Fucking bullshit

Keisei was amazing but don’t forget Brice had 23 points on 8 attempts. Damn that’s efficient. 

I would think that this would tie the school record on points in a game with only 8 attempts with Keisei last year against Boston College.

I was about to mention this.

 

Fascinating how momentum and trending matters.

 

Howard: 82-67 (55%)

Hoiberg: 62-92 (40%)

Has anyone ever gone to the Final Four while they are still below .500?

It's not just about the wins and loses with Howard. By all accounts the guy was a hot head and a bully.

Weren't those his good points?

Awww.  Creighton already in Round of 64 form. What a shame.

In 1991 Nebraska beat Creighton by 35; and then lost in the first round while Creighton won.

I wouldn't mind this season being an opposite reflection of that one.

Finally cracked the 22 win plateau for the second time in school history.

Rank    Season       W    L

1           1990-91     26   8

2           2023-24    23   9

If this is an 8 seed, the 1 seed will be getting screwed over royally.

They say it’s hard to beat a team for the third time in the same year. Is there any data to back that up or is that just something people say? 

Nebraska beat Oklahoma State four times in the 1977-78 season. I think that record will hold for a while until we go back to playing Nebraska Wesleyan four times a year.

When did Scheierman start looking like Beavis? Apparently their NIL deals don’t include any places that give decent haircuts.

I feel like we really should have beaten Arkansas in 1998.  Correct me if I’m wrong, but I felt like we led most of that game, but then got into foul trouble and lost the lead with about 4 or 5 minutes left in the game. Did Lue foul out of that game?

I sure wish Lue came back for his senior year because we wouldn’t be talking about still trying to get our first tourney win.

So, any idea who would have been on the short list?

I'm thinking the list will have some dust on it the next time it is actually needed.

Falsehood =

 

- 18-13 team with a 3-7 away record

- A 1-2 Neutral Court Record

- An 8-13 Record against Quad 1/Quad 2 

- Lost Heads up to multiple Teams Below them with a better resume

 

That is NOT a #19 Resume and any Metric that continues to keep a team there due to close losses in tough games is a Metric that I believe should never be a focal point of the Committee.

 

Edit - If Nebraska was 18-13 with a 3-7 Road record and finished the season 1-4 with losses to mediocre Ohio State and Iowa teams at home.  Do you think there is any way possible that they would be a #19 anywhere?

 

We'd be the #19th seeded team overall in the NIT

I've been saying this for 2+ years, build a statue out front of PBA for the man who leads NU to the Promised Land... Hoiberg and Tominaga. Maybe have Sammy in it as well. That'd be a sweet trio to honor, or just the roommates Sam & Keisei.

 

 

 

Here's my vote for the statue

Would we rather have Michigan State or Indiana as the 6 seed? Michigan state has no business bring a tournament lock 

Good chance the 11 seed wins the 6/11 game.
