Queue up the "end of half/game" plan. Wait for the drought.

Helps when you are shooting 60.9%...

How do we have the lead here? If you covered up the score you'd think Michigan was winning.

I've been to high school basketball games that had a better atmosphere than Welsh Ryan Arena. This is bad. Real bad. Makes me appreciate our fanbase even in all kinds of weather.

We all need to stop watching. They play better when nobody's paying attention.

I haven't watched any of this NW/Rutgers game except the last few minutes, but I'm just glad our crowd isn't even close to how bad this one is in Evanston.

Of course the game before us goes to overtime...

Caught me off guard as well. Seems we kind of just glossed over it and chalked it up to "we have a better team next year to look forward to". So far Hoiberg is at 9, 17, and 9* (*so far) losing streaks.

Basketball is sometimes about stringing some good games together. It's also about not losing control of your season. Here's where we are right now: Coach Longest Wining Streak Longest Losing Streak Collier 6 9 Sadler 11 7 Miles 6 9 Hoiberg 4 17

Can...this...staff... get... negative wins? Asking for a friend.

... I wouldn't go quite that far, even if we were 15-6 right now.

This got me thinking, so here we are... C.J. Wilcher (Xavier): 2.5x more minutes at NU, improved FG% by 2.9 pts, improved 3P% by 2.3 pts, 2.5x more points per game Alonzo Verge Jr. (Arizona State): Similar minutes, improved FG% by 1.6 pts, dropped 3P% by 4.6 pts, similar points per game Trey McGowens (Pittsburgh): Similar minutes, improved FG% by 0.2 pts, improved 3P% by 4.3 pts, 1.6 fewer points per game Kobe Webster (Western Illinois): Dropped 10 minutes per game, dropped FG% by -5.3 pts, dropped 3P% by -1.4 pts, dropped 2.5x fewer points per game Lat Mayen (Chipola College): 3x more minutes, dropped FG% -4.4 pts, dropped 3P% -1.4 pts, 3.5x more points per game Derrick Walker (Tennessee): 3x more minutes, improved FG% 7.7 pts, flat 3P% (low sample), +6.5 points per game Chris McGraw (Ohio): flat on everything (low sample) Keon Edwards (DePaul): Similar minutes, FG 3-9 (DePaul) vs. 3-17 (Neb), 3P 1-3 DePaul vs. 0-13 (Neb), 4x fewer points per game

If this goes into four consecutive years of rebuilding a roster, he better strike lightning this time around.

It's possible that our lawyers have learned a thing or two with the last two major head coaching hires in the athletic department...

Depending on what TV provider you have, you can watch "for free" on the Spanish broadcast. So there's that.

Do they practice free throws?

Yeah, can certainly argue that point. I bet it started making its way into contracts to attract coaches to either rebuilds or super high expectation programs to ensure they have some landing point if they fail.

A Power-5 DI coach isn't "like a normal person" though. Just like how an executive at a Fortune 100 company getting a hefty severance package isn't like a "normal" person who gets fired at their company.

Closest published stats I can get you 240 in Assists-to-Turnover Ratio 239 in FG%

Verge is #25 in DI basketball for assists per game.
