  1. I know for a fact what happened with that situation, and 100% of the blame lies on our coaching staff. Not the fans, not the media. Quit blaming others for the incompetence and negligence of something our staff did.
  2. Perhaps you’re right. But Lat was 9/12. Keisei was 10-12 this year. Kobe was 13-18. If Bahe questioned Lat’s lack of free throws this year, then same would apply for Kesei and Kobe, no? Either way, I didn’t want Lat on the floor for ball handling. I didn’t want Lat on the floor for free throw shooting. I generally just don’t want lat on the floor period, in any circumstance. But I realize we don’t have many options so whatever.
  3. I have no dog in this fight, but I think the argument is both Kobe and Verge should have been on the floor there. but you know what, it doesn’t matter. No matter who is shooting those free throws, they would have been missed. It’s just who we are as a program. We don’t make those plays to win. Ohio State hits the 3 to make it 72-70. Ohio State gets an offensive rebound. Ohio State makes their free throws. Ohio State blocks our game-winning putback attempt. We’re a losing program with a losing mentality.
  4. I think what’s going on is he’s facing our defense in practice and when facing our defense, anybody can go off from 3. Literally anybody, because we let them. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. Lat is a great 3 point shooter in the eyes of our staff because he faces our trash ass defense every day. Game numbers don’t lie. It’s time for Fred to grow a pair and sit him. He’s been a huge liability for 1.5 years now and we can’t afford many liabilities. and I’m not saying this loss is all on him, but let’s face it. His open 3 with 2:17 left he was practically fading away he didn’t want to shoot it so bad, and the free throw line at the end looked like the last place on earth he wanted to be. Both barely grazed the front of the rim. And that’s a senior. Time to move on to someone else who won’t wet themselves at the end.
  5. Lat has started 39 games in a row for Nebraska. He’s shooting 21.7% from 3 and 31.8% from the floor. He is a terrible basketball player, to put it bluntly. And he played 31 minutes tonight. I don’t even like Keon Edwards much, but I’d rather see him play 31 minutes and shoot bricks and choke in key situations. At least we could chalk it up to inexperience. Hell, I’d give Trevor Lakes a chance at this point. Lat is who he is, a stand outside the arc 3 point shooter who is the worst shooter on the team.
  6. Up 72-67 with 36 seconds left at home and we blow it. I mean what else do you expect at this point. We needed to make one more play, just one, and instead we shit our damn pants.
  7. Lat short armed an open 3 and two free throws in the final minutes and if he makes any of those shots we win. Not clutch is a nice way of putting it.
  8. I used to play the “woe is us” cry about teams going off against us. but then I realized this is Doc’s system and this is who we are. Drastically undersized down low, willing to sell out in the paint and let our opponents do whatever they want from 3. And then when our opponents go off from 3, it’s because of our own doing. We choose that fate.
  9. You’re not in the minority. We’ve had a few good possessions of ball movement. They were the ones where Bryce was sitting by Oleg and Piatkowski.
  10. We finally have some guys hitting tonight so what do we do? Go back to Verge and Bryce taking shit shots playing hero ball.
  11. Right. I took for granted those days where we were undersized and less athletic but we tried damn hard and lost because other teams were better. Now we just lose and play stupid and soft in doing so.
  12. We must lead the nation every year in traveling and offensive fouls without the ball. Aka fundamentals, of which we have none under this staff.
  13. We’re all on the hot seat today. Merry Christmas everybody! Let’s reminisce about the good old day.
  14. I'm not sure anything we do against Kennesaw State will change that unfortunately. Also, I'm terrified what will happen if we lose tonight.
  15. Exactly. It’s not the AAU system’s fault. It’s our coaches’ fault for playing an AAU system and allowing it. Creighton recruits players from AAU systems too. But when they get to creighton, they play team-oriented basketball.
  16. not saying it’ll happen or that dirk said it will happen. I was paraphrasing too, but it caught me off guard that it would be even on the table for a guy in the local media. to be clear, I think he’ll be here the rest of the season (which is going to be hell). But I do think some progress needs to be made before March to justify another year. If we only win 1 or 2 Big Ten games………
  17. It was on the Nick Bahe Podcast a week ago. About 36 minutes in they started talking Nebraska basketball. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nick-bahe-podcast/id1475903567
  18. Shoot, I have a 10 minute drive and it's hard to get motivated enough to go.
  19. In a recent podcast Dirk Chatelain said he wouldn't be surprised if this came to an end in the middle of this season if things (effort) don't turn around quickly. He said from the people he's talked to that the culture is that bad over there right now.
  20. Don't discount Trev's Omaha connections. He and Rasmussen and McDermott have great relationships. You never know, that might be enough for Devries someday.
  21. It would be one thing if we were struggling while building up a program. But no, there’s a very real chance we lose 6 of our top 8 scorers from this year’s team. Hence Abdelmassih will go add a handful of misfit transfers and we’ll be right back here next year wondering where it went wrong.
  22. better hope Trev feels the same way. He may be under the impression that nobody still cares about basketball and that we’ll tolerate this crap for one more year. This team is really, really bad. And I would love to hear how next year would be better. Seriously. It would be shocking to have a good season next year.
  23. It pisses me off that there are somehow still 6 teams shooting worse than us from 3. How the hell can anyone be worse than us. Let us at least have that claim!
  24. I don’t think there is a single player on the team I like watching play, to be honest.
