For whatever reason, outside of maybe Woolridge and Asbury, they've always hired well regardless of it was an up-and-coming coach or not.

I sure do understand...I took no joy in posting that.

I don't know who the hell Matt Davidson is, but Matt Davison was in Frost's wedding so that helped...

Thirty. Wins. Minimum in 2019.

What is the scientific medical term for having an irrational hatred of Creighton men's basketball? That's a trick question. Hatred of Creighton men's basketball is never irrational.

Only 225 schools do.

Would be their biggest win since they knocked off Doc Sadler.

Joe Wootten is the son of the longtime DeMatha high school coach Morgan Wootten, by the way.

I've been hearing not so great things about the Nebraska MBB team for the most part of the last 23 years. Not sure anybody has to go stir the pot on Twitter before something actually happens. It's not like the fan base would be shocked by any roster moves.

Yeah, there's no way they were letting him make a hire at that point, and there's no way if they had let him that he could have made a good hire. No one good was going to come work for a guy who's job depended on Mike Riley's performance. And, there's no good way to give Miles an extension last year after three straight losing seasons. So that's where we are.

Bumping this thread from three years ago from thepandatangent. Add: Profile 11 Six Seasons 97-97 1 NCAA Tournament - 0-1 record 1 NIT - 0-1 record 0 Conference Tournament titles, 0 regular season titles

Whatever Jordy did last summer....yeah, he shouldn't do that again.

Ain't that the truth. A few more failed six year plans and a lot of us will be too dead to care.

. If next season reminds me of 2015 then I'm done.

Two guys that ended up with more points than shots. Not a winning formula.

71-62, NU > Cowbells 3

Michigan State - a slight drop, depends if Ward goes (assuming Jackson and Bridges go) Purdue - not as good, lose four seniors, could maybe be a bubble team Ohio State - not as good assuming Bates-Diop leaves Michigan - depends on Wagner, could be better if he stays Penn State - depends on Carr, Stevens, Watkins - much better depending on that Maryland - much better Wisconsin - better Indiana - unknown, could be better or could be about the same Iowa - better (depending on Cook) Illinois - better Rutgers - slightly better if Sanders is back Northwestern - probably not as good Minnesota - who knows, could be quite a bit better or they could suck

There's a good chance our 20 game conference schedule next year looks something like this: @ Michigan State @ Penn State @ Maryland @ Michigan @ Wisconsin @ Ohio State @ Iowa @ Indiana @ Purdue @ Illinois H Michigan State H Maryland H Michigan H Ohio State H Iowa H Indiana H Purdue H Minnesota H Northwestern H Rutgers A lot depends on who goes pro early - for example Penn State could be a top 15 team or they could be sub .500 depending on Carr & Stevens - but that schedule doesn't exactly look easy.

It's a good bet that next year our double plays in the conference are much tougher. Sine Maryland and Rutgers joined, there are seven teams we've faced twice in a season once; Maryland (2015), Indiana (2016), Purdue (2016), Iowa (2017), Michigan (2017), Michigan State (2017), and Ohio State (2017). There's not a lot of logic to how the conference schedules - we played Northwestern twice in back to back years for example - but of those seven teams we'll probably have double plays against at least four of them. Here are our double plays every year so far. 2018 Penn State 9-9 21-13 NIT Wisconsin 7-11 15-18 Minnesota 4-14 15-17 Illinois 4-14 14-18 Rutgers 3-15 15-19 2017 Michigan State 10-8 19-14 NCAA Michigan 10-8 24-11 NCAA Northwestern 10-8 23-11 NCAA Iowa 10-8 18-14 NIT Ohio State 7-11 17-15 2016 Indiana 15-3 25-7 NCAA Purdue 12-6 26-8 NCAA Northwestern 8-10 20-12 Penn State 7-11 16-16 Rutgers 1-17 7-25 2015 Wisconsin 16-2 31-3 NCAA Maryland 14-4 27-6 NCAA Iowa 12-6 21-11 NCAA Illinois 9-9 19-13 NIT Minnesota 6-12 18-15

This committee's body of work is a steaming pile best flushed down the toilet.

His uncle started at LB for NU in 83-84. His dad played football and his mom played basketball at Wyoming. I don't think it's realistic; he gets plenty of exposure at SDSU, and if he goes somewhere else he might have a different role and it might cause some chemistry issues. Also if he were to go the grad transfer route he'd have plenty of other options. I'd give it a 5% chance, if that.

The selection criteria this year proves that going to 20 conference games is a bad idea - the overall RPI of the league is established by the non-conference schedule, the conference slate is a wash. If you're a coach who looks at his conference schedule and thinks his ceiling is 9-11 or 8-12, is he going to make his non-conference schedule tougher so that he might go sub .500 overall? Or will he keep the easier games and drop one of the tougher ones he otherwise would have played.
