But seeing Stanford 8 minutes away from a Sweet 16 berth as a 10 seed, it makes me think back to that blown alleyoop against Ohio State. If that went down, I think we win that game and we move up at least one line in the tournament. Maybe we draw a better matchup and maybe we're the team on the verge of the Sweet 16.

Looks like a scrub.

Yikes.

He played for the Eric Gordon All-Stars and is from Wisconsin. Maybe he'd like to play in the B1G?

Trevor Thompson, a seven-footer that started 11 games for the Hokies as a freshman, will be transferring out of the program, according to a report. He averaged 5.0 points and 4.7 boards. Thompson was a three-star recruit in the Class of 2013 out of Indianapolis, with interest from programs like Arizona State, Tennessee and Xavier, according to Rivals.

That Creighton fans don't have friends?

We're a nice story this season, but preseason top 25 teams are based on deep tournament runs, elite recruiting classes and brand names.

I got two techs and took a shower.

Ha! My wife is a counselor and calls me on it every time I say that!

Maybe Hammond plays, but it probably won't be enough to make a big difference. We need a juco or a fifth-year transfer badly.

I know this isn't Nebraska related, but what a strange move for him. This really says a lot about the new Big East.

They should also apologize for being terrible at their jobs for the rest of the game, too.

I ended last season with the same topic and the same title (or close to it). Yeah, it absolutely stinks that the season ended the way it did in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments, but we all agree that there is so much for us to be proud of and excited about for the future. This is just the beginning. Most of us would have been thrilled with an NIT berth. Many of us gave up on the Huskers early in the Big Ten season, and a few more after our loss at Illinois. It says a lot about Miles, his staff and this team that they were able to band together to make this run to the tournament. Yeah, the season has ended, but again, this is only the beginning. Go. Big. Red.

Good post. Good luck the rest of the way in the tournament!

Anyone concerned that Tai decides to take the money and run back to New Zealand to play pro hoops?

Ha. Must be grading on a curve since they should get an F for the way they attacked the zone in the first half.

I'm late to this because I had to duck out and see patient, but I heard the announcers talking about how Miles didn't set a good example about battling through adversity. I don't think it's the case. It's as simple as he knew we didn't have much of a chance if we didn't either start out hot or the refs called the game incredibly tight. Unfortunately, we got the worst case scenario.

Really sad to see such an awesome season end with both in flames and with a thud. What a complete and utter train wreck today was at pretty much every level. Sigh. Great run, though.

Sadly, we're fortunate that this isn't a 20-point game. We're playing like a slightly better Colorado.

Yup. If you're on the court, you're fair game for criticism.

These f'ing refs. Let. Them. F'ing. Play.

Tai should never shoot another 3 for the rest of the season.

Ummmm, goal tend?

Another basket!

A basket!
