I'm not buying the "whole team is new" argument. This is the reality of college basketball and there are a ton of teams with huge turnover who wouldn't fall behind Creighton by 30.

Yes. I understand that we don't have everything in place in a transition year, but I don't understand how the NBA tanking mentality has taken hold in college. You have a set of players, you have to coach an play in way that gives you a chance to win. This idea of building for the future only works if you are developing and improving. COMPETE!

On pace to be the only time the Huskers have been held to just one TD in the first half.

So 0% on threes and can't hit at the rim...maybe time to reconsider our contempt for the midrange?

Would be nice to have anyone shoot better than 0% right now.

Can we chalk the slow start up to jet lag?

Every member of this team is now qualified for a major in masonry.

Every coach's dream, being able to foul and be 75% certain it would cost you <1 point per foul.

I think we are going to have to stop calling them "free" throws because they are way too costly.

Sounds painfully familiar. Seems like Colorado hoops is the only former Big TXII revenue sport to have found greener pastures.

If I'm coaching against the Huskers, I pack the paint, let them hoist 3s and hack literally everyone on the drive/backcut. On offense I encourage my players to take early shots, regardless of quality and count on loose ball/oreb chances in the scrum.

Can't beat Mr. Creosote

Disagree, most barf makes it into the bucket.

Plucky underdog huskers hanging tough against Southern juggernaut to force OT.

These Jaguars get "shaken up" almost as often as Indiana linebackers.

Can we decline the foul and just keep possession?

Selfish play leads to turnovers.

South Dakota State 64 #14 Arizona 71 Jackrabbits led for a good part of the first half.

Can we honestly say what that is for this team? It's not FTs, or layips (spelling intentional) or 3 from "career 45 percent" shooters.

Most disappointing start to a season that I can remember. Frustrating that it is the same flaws that existed under previous coaches even with all the changes.

When is the future? To steal from The Smiths "When exactly do you mean?See I've already waited too longAnd all my hope is gone" All this starting over and building for the future and we have one more NCAA tournament appearance than we did when I was young and still capable of hope. I can't blame Hoiberg for the past, but the present is uninspired.

I don't know if the situation will ever get that dire

With Nebraska buckets about as rare as goals in soccer the celebrations have to be outsized. Maybe we can get Kent to say Field Goooooooooooooooool after each one.

My wife keeps pointing out how many hours of disappointment I would avoid if I just checked the Nebraska scores rather than sitting through it.

Just an awful performance. No sugar coating it. Schedule will not get easier.
