    Ron Mexico reacted to Norm Peterson in 2024 Portal Watch   
    Took no parting shots. Seems like a reasonable statement. And, mysteriously, no hint of what he did wrong.

    I'm "good" with that although I will opine that NU was the"gooder"of the two.

    I hesitate to call it that because they haven't won a trophy or achieved what had never been done before. What's wrong with a good season?
     
    By the way, last season I didn't call it a good season.... so, maybe we are splitting hairs here. My definition of good and great may not be far off.
     
    I had an absolute blast in Memphis, other than seeing A&M guards drive by us unabated or those few dudes burying triple after triple. The rest of the experience at March Madness was very memorable. I figured A&M and Houston would provide a great show, those two were clearly the class of Memphis as far as talent collection.
     
    I am in no way disappointed by 2023-24. In fact, I am the one who advocated for winning a trophy in Minny would have been my preference over a singular win in the NCAAs. Recall the Alumni Weekend they honored the 1994 champs, and that's forever. Now, granted, I selfishly wanted both. GBR Always.

    They won't score 58 all game against Houston. Book it.

    Ron Mexico reacted to The Polish Rifle in Screw Trev   
    I hate to dwell on this, but he really F'd this team. 99% of getting a dub or two in the tournament is matchup. I highly doubt we get A&M if Trev doesn't do what he did. NW the past two seasons get overrated, ice cold, mid majors. We get a P5 team with a top 10 ceiling, playing their best ball.  So thanks Trev, parting gift of a lifetime.

    I'll be surprised if Husker make top half even if main contributors return.
    Michigan St./Izzo will get top 3-4 love.
    Ohio St.'s late season success will propel them.
    Media will hop on Rutgers bringing in 2 studs. 
    Illinois' success this year will carry over.
    Guess I'm probably saying name on front of jersey outweighs other stuff. And I'd just as soon prefer to be picked to finish in double digits again.

    This was me last night, and it still is me today. I hurt more for the players than myself, especially the seniors. I do think Fred will bring in more qualified players to replace those we lose like last year. But I expect to an even better extent. Will that translate to the dance again? I dunno. 
     
    Norm spotted me outside the arena and gave a huge high five. Then several hundred, probably closer to a couple thousand, Husker fans started cheering HUS-KER POW-ER before they let us in. I told Norm something along the lines of “if today isn’t the day, then when is?”  It felt like it was going to happen. From being favored by Vegas, to Husker fans showing out, to having a “team”…it felt like the wait was over. When Keisei hit those first three and then Reink hit a deep one…I just didn’t think TAMU could keep up with us.  
     
    I feel so terrible for the seniors, the whole team, Kent, Shamus, Pat, and fans who have waited for so long like HB, Jimmy, Cip…I just think this will sting until the ball tips again. Just hoping our schedule is strong enough or weak enough to not have an uphill climb to the tournament. I know the team will be talented enough, but what does that mean? This drought has to end soon. That’s all I have to say guys.
     
    From a sports perspective, this is awful. But we’re not too far from Kansas City, and that means we’re just a few hours from hugging our kids and kissing their foreheads and telling them we love them. And that will do for another day. GBR always.

    Yeah for as much I am sad, mad, bitter etc… it is nothing compared to the players, coaches, support staff and their families. That is who I am sorry and heart broken for. 
    Doesn’t feel like a death, had death in my family and that hurts more.  Never been divorced so don’t know that pain. I think this feels kind of like where you have your Tux ordered, are renting a limo and you date calls and says I got a better offer.🤔🤷
    really can’t wait until next year.

    Sorry, the hurt is still present.  Won't golf today.  Won't watch any basketball.  Hard to even be on this site.  Thank gawd we won in Corvallis last night.  Took out a little frustration on a fellow fan who said Amy was outcoached last night...yada, yada, yada.

    Still the most wins in a season for this program since before many of you were born.
     
    I'm disappointed. Demoralized. It was embarrassing. The aTm fans were jerks. All of those things.
     
    But the sun came up this morning. I have a tee time. And my guys were still the best team we've put out there in close to 3 decades.
     
    So, I'm keeping my season tickets and I'll see you all at the vault next fall.
     
    Best regards,

    I don’t know.   A lot of teams scout on us was to shut KT down.  He was a focal point.  To grabbing him, double teaming him, etc.  They won’t have to worry about that next year.   He is irreplaceable.

    That’s not what is in question here. I also hope we are better next year. All fans do. But the original post said we would be better because of Keisei not being on the team. So, that implies that even though he’s fun and enthusiastic and a fan favorite, we’re better off without him. I simply disagree.

    keisei gave far more to this program than it gave to him...we'll miss him a great deal. not just as a player, but as a person. he was a terrific ambassador for my alma mater. and that matters to me.

    You still going to die on the hill the team will be better next year without Keisei??? 
    It’s unpopular because it’s not accurate. I don’t think I’m naive on this…

    I was going to say the same thing.  I feel Walker would have just been a Mast replacement without the shooting ability.

    So you are putting this on him? He scored 21pts. Every team’s best defender was on him. He was grabbed and pulled in every game. Defensively he improved every season. He wasn’t an elite defender, however he was average. His scoring more than offset any defensive deficiencies. 
    It will be very difficult to replace him. Best pure shooter since Pike.

    Definitely Bando. We needed a lock down perimeter defender.

    Not a single person played solid D tonight. It wasn’t just Keisei who was blown by.  It’s not super difficult to replace 14 points a game, but what is difficult to replace is how those 14 points came to be.  He was electric. He could flip a switch at any point.  I absolutely do not feel good about not having KT next year.  We can makeup 14 points in the aggregate, but it’ll be hard to makeup what we’re losing with Keisei.

    I’m gonna give jsthusker some grace since it’s right after a very tough loss and people are posting emotional things. But anyone who thinks the team will be better off next season because of his lack of defense doesn’t have a clue what kind of impact he had on the team in the locker room, national exposure, spacing the floor, opening things up offensively. We will not be better off next year without him. Kind of a strange thing to post for someone who averages like 3 posts on here per year
