The most important thing that will happen to the rest of the way is the on the court education Yvan will receive. Once he understands what it takes to play at this level, if he keeps his head up, keeps working, his improvement will be as important as anything/anyone towards our future success...

I have a row full of dips**ts that have settled in behind me for the season. It’s a running commentary on EVERYTHING but the game, & about as funny as ringworm...

Scarlet Knights 69-60

There was a point DEEP in the contest when both teams were shooting @ about a 28% clip, but hey we put em away & got the “W”. Need to really push the pace against Rutgers & start making our layups dammit...!

Miles was on the radio up in Mpls last week & brought up a lot of good points concerning the NBA. Roby signed the most lucrative contract for a 2nd rounder EVER & has yet to appear in a game. Unless yer Shaquille O’Neal or LeBron James yer playing to be an NBA back-up. (paraphrasing a Miles quote) While that might be stating the obvious, too often it’s overlooked or undersold. I certainly think Mack has Pro potential & one of Fred’s big drawing cards recruiting wise will be to hopefully get players in here capable of taking that next step. When that becomes the norm here (pun intended) & not the exception, then we really will have established ourselves as a perennially B1G threat. But, a little dose of reality is important, while yer reaching for the stars ...

The “Airing of the Grievances” > “Feats of Strength”....

Cam & Jervay better get on the same page, cuz they’re both gonna have the ball in their hands A LOT & how they roll will be the difference between 10+ wins or a truly tragic number.

He better get his s**t wired tight, cause things are about to get REAL when the B1G starts...

Well, no one likes a show off, so we’ve settled in nicely to the “meaty” part of the curve. Assuming the Islanders is a win (right?) we need to go 7-12 down the stretch to avoid 20 losses. I’m pessimistically counting a first round B1G tournament loss, putting us @ 13-19... After what I’ve seen so far good/bad, that appears daunting.

Kevin McHale always use to say, it’s not the 5 best players, it’s the 5 players that play the BEST together....!

I knew we weren’t on “glide path” to success, but I thought the head scratching losses would be limited to the B1G schedule by now. Oh well, back to the drawing board...

Cornhuskers 78 - (not Grand Island) 65

Yvan right now is playing smaller than his size. He needs to learn how to carve out space for himself under the bucket, weight/leverage/balance, all need work. He has yet to master the “wide stance” made famous by Senator Larry Craig @ the St Paul International Airport...

You ARE what your record says you are...

Not the shot you wanted there at the end. Maybe all that NIT talk around town went to their head...

Seattle Sleuth...!!!

5-6 just guessing

Why did Creighton ever let Stewart walk...?

Tie game...!!!

WAY too many easy NoDak layups...

This thing is about to get REAL, as in real bad. Time to make a move Red, or that lump of coal is almost guaranteed...

They look like they’re mentally already “on break” And since we’re in Nebraska, that Dorthy Lynch goes on ANYTHING...

We’re not getting enough easy looks, too methodical. Tempo, tempo....

We need to push the pace, my Robitussen is starting to kick in....

Can I wear my old North Dakota Fighting Sioux (Blackhawk logo) sweatshirt to the game without getting heckled...? With my Husker hat of course!
