The Penn States of the world are trying to keep them in the $EC Final Four tournament.

That seems generous.

Southern South Dakota - 71 South Dakota State - 65

And even when we had a second chance, we couldn't close out a game where the opponent scored 3 points in the first OT.

Iowa St made a considerable jump under Hoiberg in year 2. Hopefully we see the same. This year was always going to be rough. Even if we retained Miles. I have had the chance to watch either game but based on some other folks I’ve talked to the action is good. Players just aren’t executing yet. Hopefully that comes with time. Just being salty right now, but everybody (and the media and rankings as well) said the same thing about Frost too.

We played today??

Pretty soon the students will stop shredding the newspapers to throw, and just sit down and read them instead.

I don't even know if we would be able to compete in the Big Sky or Big West conferences this season...

Gutty (v): that feeling in your stomach when you're watching really awful basketball

I get that, but what was Merrimack's KenPom ranking?

That Wyoming team had 3 NBA players and won an NCAA Tournament game. Can someone help? I'm having a hard time finding UC Riverside on the Vegas books for NCAA tournament win odds this year...

Noticed that on TV. Forget about the result of the game....Fire Hoiberg for getting rid of that song! That wasn't a Hoiberg decision... Also, can I use this time to gripe about how when then basketball team finds a cool tradition, the football team just goes ahead and steals it?

The Who - 72 Directional State School - 64

I'll just start handing out John Dalys and NyQuil chasers throughout the season. That should suffice.

Sorry, @uneblinstu, just had to get this up and running before HHC burned down. The only thing I've got to say about this game/season: Keep your heads up. Brush it off. And see you all next game.

Save this post for some year in late March... one day.

Tim Miles had a 6-game losing streak in 6 of his 7 seasons at Nebraska. Might as well just knock that out early in the season.
