Handy Johnson

Nice addition.   Don't overthink it regarding Rienk...nice to build depth, especially talented depth.

Conk considers Nate Johnson one of the best to ever play at NU.... of course, he's a bit biased. But, he could have been on the Lakers!! He was that talented. No clue why B.C. didn't value Nate like he should've been. That team was more than solid. They beat CU at CU in the opener of the N.I.T. and it was Nate Johnson making the game-winner to take it 71-70. I was sitting in the Bird Cage and going bonkers!!! Nate was GREAT!!!
 

The Huskers handled Kris Humphries and the Gophers in their house 20 years ago. For that game I had to follow along on 1-800-TELL. Did anyone else ever have to use that?
We had a good team that year. I believe that’s also the year Dourisseau brought down the whole damn goal against Tennessee. Why the h*ll was Nate Johnson not a full time starter?
 

In the future, everyone will be married to Kim Kardashian for 15 minutes.

How many of these Celebrated MN High School “Bigs” do you remember? Rik Rikert, Joel Pryzbilla, Kyle Sanden, Kris Humphries or Trevor Mbakwe? *Hint* one of them was Married to Kim Kardshian. 

Danny and the Miracles....
 

How bout walking into your First Practice next season KNOWING you Beat the National Champions. Go Boilermakers! 

Least we forget we’re entering an ENTIRELY New B1G World, wiping the Slate Clean & starting without the Old Rivalries & Expectations. All after a THIRD Place Finish.

I'm still giddy about this. This gave me the feeling again about how successful of a season we had that just didn't quite result in a win we were looking for.
 
To the Alabama fan who saw this announcement and felt the need to tell me "The coach at Alabama should have gotten this award", seriously? You don't even know who Nate Oats is? Did you watch a single Alabama game before the NCAA tournament?
 
Many coaches earned their way into a nomination. Many. But I'm proud of Hoiberg and hoping this reinvigorates him, the team, and this fanbase to strive for even more. Buckle up.

Looks like we're going to roll back the same winning coaching staff

I think Ulis will nab that PG spot.  He's a solid player.  We could use another one though.   
 
I'm guessing we'll be looking to fill the 3 with someone other than Gary who can really shoot it.  Gary is a very good 4.  Fidler would be ideal at the 3.  So would Williams with Janowski at the 2, but our defense would suffer.  Then one or two more bigs for a rotation at the 4-5.  Kyle and Morgan would be great but I'm guessing we get one or the other.  

I highly doubt Fidler has intention of transferring and not starting, potentially same for Billiew. 

That Rock Bottom thread is burried deep, deep, into the interwebs right now. Let's not resurface that any time soon.
 
There were times we thought we hit rock bottom, when in reality there was more rock to dig. I'm going with the same theory here. We haven't reached Cloud Nine. But we're at a state of cloud nine that will soon get us to a grander state of cloud nine.
 
Yesterday, Fred won the national coach of the year award. Then Brice Williams and Juwan Gary publicly announced their commitment to the program. Then Keisei Tominaga won the internet and the 3-point shooting competition. What a day for Nebraska basketball. What a day.
 
Let this be your Cloud Nine safe space for those moments that just make you smile inside and outside about Nebraska basketball. I hope this thread gets resurfaced more than the rival one that's gotten a lot of miles of use over the years.
 
Go Big Red!

Perhaps he really wants to know what it feels like to win a game at Pinnacle Bank Arena for a change???

Payne is such a dude.  Please God.

We can’t say Fred isn’t out there pushing hard in the portal! 

I never met her.
 

I've always heard that the worst thing about Wisconsin was that Madison was in it...

Just a “Vibe” I picked up on, plus the worst thing about Madison is that it’s IN Wisconsin.
