Welcome to the bigtime, Jack. Yikes.

Cincinnati 60 Nebraska 46

Nebraska 84 Ark-Pine Bluff 58

It looks to me like we will be hosting a Top 25 rated Hurricane team a week from Tuesday. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/2390

Nebraska 71 Delaware St 46

Villanova 71 Nebraska 51

97 is the most we have scored in 10 years - when a Collier led team beat NC A&T 107-57 in December 2005. I was a little surprised it had been so long since we even got a whiff of 100.

Nebraska 88 Mississippi Valley St 59

When was the last time our program signed 10 straight players without one JUCO? If I had to guess, I'd say you would have to look back 50 years.

We seem to have been assigned to a number of tourneys with New Mexico lately, but never play them. Maybe this time we will. Would be an interesting matchup if Harriman is still on the staff.

Wow, now why at 55, can't I do that?

Also odd - he thinks that Jake Hammon (who is that guy, anyway, i know of a Jake Hammond) has a better chance of cracking the starting lineup (60%) than Morrow (55%). I guess you can make the case that we are extremely thin at the post and Hammond is our best option.

I don't know which thread is the best place to post this.... It's part Louisville-related, part Anton Gill. Note that TM is in New Hampshire - where Jordy Tchiminga is, right? http://www.omaha.com/huskers/nebraska-transfer-gill-not-known-to-have-connection-to-louisville/article_c333eb8e-6966-11e5-b68a-bb714eb38ee9.html

I don't know if under-utilizing the roster number can be characterized as "self-imposed". With all the early transfers happening anymore, I think it's really hard to have 13 scholarship players at a given time. Unless a coach elects to fill it with warm bodies. I'd be interested to see how many Big Ten schools have a full roster right now.

Nothing can be worse than the Maryland football uniforms.

Cool. I get to watch them while traveling through Utah this morning.

Meh. That can't compare with a campus that overlooks Salt Creek.

Has anyone checked the doors to the men's locker room at PBA? I suspect they are only 6'8" high and that might be discouraging the taller ones from coming here.

Mississippi Valley State is located in Itta Benna, MS. - population 2,049. Now, there are small college towns, and then there are small college towns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rx5NRPKDiI

This is just personal opinion.... The '94 Conference Tourney championship was nice and all, but I'd trade a tournament conference championship in a heartbeat for a regular season championship. The 1950 team was a co-champion with 2 other teams in a 6 team conference. The '49 team shared with 1 other team. The ones in the teens were in the old Missouri Valley so.... It's safe to say that our next undisputed conference championship - if it's in the 14 team Big Ten - will be easily the largest accomplishment this program has ever had.

Folks, if I'm not mistaken, that was our last undisputed conference championship team in basketball. 100 years...sigh.

True. But if things run according to norm, about 8 of the list above will actually be here the fall of 2016. That's not meant to be a slam on NU bball. Just the landscape of DI college basketball these days.

Good luck to Tarin, but this is a rather unorthodox way to feed the Husker-Duke (as in Duquesne) pipeline. Shouldn't he start off at Robert Morris first?

Maybe he has Chad Johnson's aptitude for geography. You know, the Florida native who left NU to be closer to home and ended up at Pitt? Seems like Walt Pitchford had the same issue, working in our favor that time.

Coaching trees - like past performances on stock mutual funds - aren't necessarily a great measure of future success. If I'm not mistaken, Barry Collier has the most prestigious coaching tree of current/former NU coaches.
