    If only there was a way to force USC & UCLA to have to play us outdoors December through February. 🥶 Lol
     
    That reminds me, do you think the USC & UCLA baseball and softball coaches are thrilled about their schools’ move to the B1G? I highly doubt it. Just wait until those Southern California creampuffs see what kind of garbage weather we can have here in March and April in Lincoln, Iowa City, Ann Arbor etc.

    Rough ending. Not entirely unexpected. Rough matchup. Had Illinois vibes before it started.
    All the bandwagon non football fans will say we choked and hop off. They'll do the same to the women's team and the baseball team.
    F' em and we'll see them when they hop back on next March.
    The 6000 true fans that packed devaney every shit year will roll on, pain and all.

    Tonight hurts. But I refuse to say this season was a failure. So many good memories from this season. Let's do it again next year.

    ... in the old Coliseum. Joe Cipriano was the coach. Jerry Fort lost a contact lens and they stopped play for probably 5 minutes while people spread out on the floor looking for it. Never forget it.
     
    Guys, I feel like I've paid some dues and earned this.

    I just wanted to say I am happiest for you guys (and others who I unintentionally neglected who have been following Husker Hoops for way more years than Matt & Scott & I).
     
    EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE - I feel great for ALL OF US.
     
    But man... I'm so happy for those who have been around since Cipriano and Iba and even before.
     
    I just wanted you guys to know I was thinking about you today leading up to the selection - especially you, Jimmy. I haven't met some of you but I consider you friends.
     
    OK, off to watch a Nicholas Sparks movie with all this sap.

    Noah121 reacted to Norm Peterson in Success Begets Success   
    Two years ago, we were coming off the worst three-year run in the modern history of the program. Maybe ever, but I'm not going to go back to the beginning to verify. Twenty-four wins combined in his first three seasons here and I'm of the understanding Fred thought he was done, which was why he didn't schedule a youth basketball camp that summer after his third season.
     
    The only thing that probably saved his job was a potential need to keep our powder dry in order to fire Scott Frost at the helm of the flagship football program.
     
    That spring, we picked up a portal commit from a Lincoln kid who wanted to come home and play his last season of college basketball in front of the hometown crowd. Turns out, that pickup was transformational, as Fred recently acknowledged in comments about Sam coming back to watch our game against Penn State. Sam Griesel, according to Fred, changed the culture of the team. It was unselfish ball, and it allowed people (including potential recruits) to see what the finished product was supposed to look like when we ran our system instead of running hero-ball.
     
    There was another Summit League standout who was looking for a new home that same spring. A kid who grew up just west of here. We tried to get him to Lincoln. And he was gracious in turning us down. He observed that, while we're starting to build a culture here at Nebraska (which was a nice way of saying we didn't have one), another team just east of us already had one established. Hard to hold that against him. After three of the worst years in program history, it would have been a tall ask to get anyone to believe we were on the cusp of turning things around. You could get a local Lincoln kid to spend his last season of college ball here because it's literally his home. But drawing a kid with more extended eligibility was obviously not as easy.
     
    Last season, though, we, as fans, could get a better glimpse of how the pieces fit together when the system was run the way it was intended. And so could recruits. Big men and backcourt players alike could watch our film and envision what their role would be in a Husker uniform. We have a system. We have a culture. We finally have an identity.
     
    So, a little more than a year ago, I suggested the following:
     
     
    Fred has said the way things played out last year and the success on the floor that we had at the end put us in position to land guys like Rienk Mast and Brice Williams. And, frankly, Ahron Ulis, but that's a different matter. We got everything from the portal that we needed -- a skilled post to replace Walker, a solid point guard to replace Griesel, and an athletic wing to provide some scoring punch -- we just didn't plan on the extracurriculars that would keep Ulis from participating this year.
     
    And now, this year, it's hard to argue the trajectory of the program. And, again, potential recruits can watch our film and -- IMPORTANTLY -- they can easily see how they would fit within our system. I think that's huge when it comes to recruiting. It's like sales. You want the buyer to envision driving that car or drinking that beer. And I think kids will be able to imagine how they would fit in our program and how they could contribute.
     
    And the doors we're unlocking with the way this season is playing out ... the NET might not factor in the story lines, but kids hitting the portal sure will.
     
    All of this is just to say I think we'll enjoy our portal experience this spring. We have a FAR better chance of landing the kinds of players we were just missing out on a year or two ago.

    After a rough game at home nice to see a much needed win on the road. This was my 50/50 games where I felt we had a chance to pickup a win. After Rutgers turned into a must win. Great work Huskers!

    Pike hitting the half court shot (3rd attempt) was an unexpected highlight.  As was the young lady crawling across the floor for her money.

    Three thoughts:
    1. Mast has more cuts and scrapes than any player I’ve ever seen. 
    2. Really would be nice to have more production at PG to break us out of funks. 
    3. Hoiberg once again showed he is an X’s and O’s savant.
