Beats the hell out of the court we had this year

Recruiter, recruiter, recruiter.

Hope they take a long look at him too. He seems like he’s got what you need to succeed even if he is a tad undersized.

It’s much less about the expectations against a certain opponent and the overall look and feel of this team. The Big Ten coaches have adjusted and understand our extreme offensive limitations. In no way does this current iteration of the team look like an NCAA team.

Hard to justify playing Morgan the way he’s playing right now and how he played the last game.

Not Sam’s night. Probably the worst we’ve ever seen him play

They’ve ran a double pick the last 10 possessions and have scored almost every one.

I feel like it can’t be very good. Rutgers and USC both strictly ran pick and rolls the last 5 minutes of those games to beat us. We really struggled to defend it against Maryland too.

Using @49r's template, here is an update since it seems like he hasn't been able to recently. Sorry if I'm stepping on any toes here.

86.5% chance of making the NCAA tournament with a win today per Barttorvik.

It’s a fun Husker team against a top 15 opponent on a Saturday. It’d be cool to see them come back and be recognized. Has Petteway been back in the last 10 years? I don’t remember him doing so. Maybe he’s playing overseas but most former Husker basketball players aren’t busy playing pro basketball. Maybe I’m just too nostalgic.

It really is too bad we can only get 2 guys from the last decade to come back for the game.

Southern had to have been one of the worst shooting teams to step foot inside PBA. Woof

Add a couple points for the computers. Thanks Oregon State

I constantly go back and forth on if this team is better this year than last year because of this. I think we’re really going to struggle to score in the Big Ten because we are not a very good shooting team. I think we are a much better defensive and rebounding team but offensively we miss the role players who could shoot the ball like Wilcher and Lawrence. Hoiberg needs to at least be a threat to shoot the ball in the half court. I have no stats to back this up but it feels like our starting lineup is one of our worst offensive lineups, which makes me very nervous to start games. Meah is getting better, but he could be a force if he was a little tougher. Neither of these games this tournament have been all that encouraging but we’ll take the wins. I wish Janowski was a little further along because he fills it up in warmups
