*Editors note* I should mention I won the Tournament bracket in TWO different bars last year. In one of them I failed to pick the winner but accumulated so many points in the early rounds that I nipped my opponent @ the wire.... kidding aside, that is a fascinating “deep dive” you lay out there 49er, thanks

SO... yer saying I should bet on Kansas?

Just saw Penn St, Colorado & Creighton are all 75-1 to win the National Title...!

It’s often said the hardest thing in Sports is hitting a baseball, conversely, the easiest is making a free throw...

What were you doing in Minneapolis...?

All-time underrated: Rick Majerus Overrated: Bill Self

This is the part of the season where I expected us to be trending “upward” if ever SO slightly. Thought we’d be that team that no one wants to play in the B1G Tournament, not a team circling the drain while the specter of Spring Football hangs in the air...

Well, after reading through this whole thread, I now have visions of the 30 point loss to Iowa back in 2015. Like my old High School Coach use to say, it’s time to “Bow the Neck”!

Hard to say if Mack was in full-on “pout mode” since he didn’t start, but it was easily his poorest performance of the year. And as others pointed out in the game thread, when he “checks out” mentally, we’re REALLY in trouble...

If you heard Hoiberg’s Presser after the game, he was visibly upset & understandably so. It certainly wasn’t your typical “we’re gonna roll up our sleeves” & get back to work on Monday routine. He was HOT, & as he tries to establish “his” template for success , It was refreshing to see. A lot of things regarding Wins/Losses are out of your control, but NOT your effort, that’s why he was so bent out of shape. Go Big Fred!

As good as he looked against Rutgers, that’s how BAD he looked tonight...

Hawkeyes 90 - 68

Garbage time...

Mack mentally M.I.A tonight...

Need to stop the bleeding, or this thing is gonna head South in a hurry...

Hammer of the Gods...!!!

Don’t forget we’re dead last in B1G FT%

When we go cold it’s REAL cold...

Cheatham brought his “A” game tonight...!

The sun shines on every dog’s a** once in awhile, I’ve got a feeling we’re back in the WIN column tonight...!

But with better “Post” moves, & a more seamless game getting to the hole...

Oh I know, but I wanted to throw Sip/Jake under the bus too for their utter lack of push back...

I had hoped someone locally would have reached out to Stu Lantz & Tyronn Lue for their thoughts & insights regarding Kobe...

This is in NO way directed towards you specifically OHusker. But that argument they threw out speaks to a mindset that we should “stay in our lane” & hope for the best. This also feeds into the ridiculous implied goal of winning “A game” in the NCAA tournament, which drives me nuts. Our goal EVERY year should be to qualify for the Tournament & ADVANCE as far as we can...! Otherwise, you might as well board up that arena right now.

They had a ridiculous argument on Sip/Jake this morning that Nebraska shouldn’t go after someone “this talented” because of the pressure our long suffering fan base would put on the young man. To quote Eddie Albert from the Longest Yard: “That’s the biggest crock of horses**t I’ve ever heard in my life”...
