aphilso1

Just made the trip back from Memphis and now I'm off to bigger an better things.... Updating the final standings for HHCC!
 
Let's take a pause just to reflect on the great season this team had. I won't even be able to do full justice, but this team achieved the 2nd most wins in program history, punched its ticket very securely and not having to sweat it out during Selection Sunday, won against some opponents we've struggled with mightily since joining the Big Ten, defeated the #1 team in the nation, and put up some record shooting performances throughout the season.
 
Sure, the team fell short from an NCAA tournament win. But this team will be hungry to get that win next time around. Let's just not have that elapse another 10 seasons. This team has proven in back-to-back seasons that we're a February team and we deserve to play against the best.
 
Now, for what you all have been awaiting for... the final results for the 2023-2024 Husker Hoops Central Challenge! As the saying goes, don't cry because it's over, cry because you lost...except for aphilso1. You won. Well done! And that now officially makes aphilso1 the only two-time HHCC winner!

Need to bring William Kyle home. He's gonna have a lot of offers. He is turning into an absolute monster. Same dawg mentality as Allick, but a bit taller, more explosive and a lot longer.  6'9" with a 7'3" wingspan and 40+ inch vertical. I heard that he led the country in dunks this year. Can't figure out how to verify if that's true.  Summit League DPOY, first team all-conference, conference tournament MVP. Shoots 62% from the field and is a real rim protector. Humble kid, academic all-conference. I'd take him over Omoruyi or any other big in the portal and not because he's from Omaha. 

Why are we collectively so afraid to call it a great season?  Yeah, we got boat raced in the tourney.  One and done, I get it it.  But the YEAR is on the Mount Rushmore of Husker Hoops seasons.  And beyond the wins and losses, this team was a joy to cheer for.  
 
The year was fun and exciting and full of far more ups than downs.  Don't be afraid to call it what it truly was: great.

Met and spoke with both Ramel and his dad.  Seemed like a good, genuine kid who planned to contribute this season.  I don't think Fred has given up on him.  

When Fred says everyone is all in, they are all in. I've heard nothing less. If anyone is leaving, they are being all in on being teammates until the end. After that, good luck to them. GBR

To all you old timers...I know I feel bad, but I really wanted this for you even more than me. 

I'm throwing in the towel.
 

Nevada blew a 17 point lead with 7 minutes to go.  We can still do this.

We're down 14 at half.  Screw all of you who have given up.  

Keep getting into the paint. We’re getting fouled about 50% of the time. Put TAMU in foul trouble for the second half and see what happens

You guys I can’t handle this. I’m glassy eyed already. Love this team ❤️

If those Damn Doctors would have just washed their hands before they stuck their fingers in the bullet holes he would still be alive today…
Well maybe not today🥴

He had a shorter stay in charge at Washington than James A. Garfield
