Just pay a transfer center or PG the 30k it takes to buy yourself into the CBI, money much better spent.

CBI takes under .500 group of 5 teams. It’s a joke. Don’t want to be associated with it. NIT or bust!

Speaking of embarrassing

I’m ready for Fred to do something next year. 16-16 was a job saver this year, it will be a job ender next season.

Good time for us to shit the bed. God this program won’t let you feel good for 5 minutes before doing something stupid.

He doesn’t have us on the NIT bubble. I feel like we’re safely in with a win against Minnesota.

There are 2 games in regards to net that really annoy me. Home against Minnesota and at Iowa. If you isolate those two games, in one we beat Minnesota by 11 - not overly impressive but guess what, Minnesota has been competitive in over half their conf games, even against NCAA tournament competition. In the other we go on the road and beat top 35 Iowa - very impressive win. What was the combined NET impact of those two games? We dropped 3 spots…yes a double digit B1G win and a road win over a top 35 team had a negative impact on our metrics.

I think what bothers me the most about it, is Fred had to figure out what he had two times this year. He had 3 new starters and no Walker to start the year - once they were clicking the beat Creighton on the road. Then loses 2 starters and has to reconstruct his lineup and once they start clicking again beat Iowa on the road. That type of change is not conducive to blowing teams out and you might drop a clunker or two - but the NET in no way captures how good we became once Fred found the right formula. It’s obvious the NET is rewarding beating the brakes off bad teams over winning close over good teams, but there is no bad teams in the B1G, we have no opportunities for crushing crap teams.

Northwestern beats a struggling Rutgers in a rock fight and moves up 7 in the NET. Nebraska beats a surging Iowa and moves up 2. Iowa was ranked higher than Rutgers in the NET. Hell we didn’t even make up what we lost from beating Minnesota by 11.

I believe the NIT guru told Washut we were in if we were .500 or better. So today should have done it.

All Hummel did was mention he was 3-16 from 3 his last couple games. But Fran and his children are triggered with the slightest comment.

I will say, If we beat Iowa I will be on such a high, I won't care what seed we are.

Great pitching, if we can get that kinda pitching consistently then we’re gonna win some games - because the bats are for real…

Makes sense. Either get old through the portal or get old through developing your roster.

Not worth getting him off schedule. They want him on Friday in the SEC

For more context, it was senior night, they were coming off a huge win, it’s their best season in like 25 years, it’s an on campus arena, and 8-22 UNO out drew them by 1000 fans on their senior night at Baxter…

Wow!!! That is depressing…wouldn’t blame Miles for leaving, how the hell do you recruit to that?

Friday is not gonna be easy. Vandy's ace was a preseason All-American, lefty with a mid-90s fastball, a lock to be a 1st rounder. 5.1 and only allowed 1 hit against to top 25 UCLA last week. Not many teams getting Vandy on Friday this year.

He works the refs but isn't a complete douche about it like Fran. Gary Sharp was talking about it this morning, annoying for opposing fans, but exactly want you want from your head coach. If he noticed something in film and thought he could get the refs to call the moving screens, well mission accomplished for his team.

That was I, It was that 2014 Ohio St game to the last detail. Most momentum the program had in years to the Hindenburg in matter of minutes.

I always wanted to relive the 2014 Ohio St B1G tournament game. Coming off no sit sunday, All the momentum in the world, up 17 ----- Then BOOM, hit by a bus.

Wide open look after wide open look.

Knew it was coming. That 1st half shooting wasn't gonna stick around. We have to keep on the gas.
