Actually both Moe and Barry resigned. But the point remains valid.

Frank made a tactical error retaining certain assistants that had lost their motivation to be all-around coaches. By the time that was realized, and changes were made, Frank was a goner. I also understand that a couple off the field issues also played a part.

Amen!

What should occur when your team is proficient with the 3-point shot is that driving lanes open up for your slashers and the post players have greater freedom in the paint. We lost some of that slashing ability when Allison went down AND Sam not 100% recovered from ACL.

He is out for the Purdue game.

Not to be argumentative, but not everyone agrees it was the right thing. His legs were cut from beneath him prior to his final year...just saying. That said, I drooled like a teething 2 year old when Fred was hired.

Back home...nicely done. Great effort!

Yup. I agree. In today's world, perhaps the toughest thing to build is depth. Players can easily transfer for perceived greener pastures if playing time, et al, is not satisfactory. Then if injuries occur, there can be a pretty drastic drop-off. To be one of the top schools, you have to find a way to build depth in both the front and back court. Or you better hope your team stays injury free. This season, this team faces that double whammy. We did not have sufficient depth, and then came serious injuries.

This is a tough year. Injuries in addition to an overall lack of numbers are taking a toll.

Not having the students back hurts attendance as well as the overall vibe. I actually thought that the crowd attempted to get "into" the game on multiple occasions; but the superb play of Illinois, the subpar husker performance and the heavy dose of the referees whistles kept fan enthusiasm at bay.

Pathetic, horrible, disappointing effort and outcome.

Ummm. Unfortunately the team must have been looking past Illinois.

You guys scare me...as in putting the cart before the horse. Nothing in our history should provide us that ability for wishful thinking. Again, I would love nothing more than to place my rose-colored glasses back on; but we cannot afford to think beyond the next game. Think KSU. Think MSU. Think St. John's. We cannot think beyond the game in front of us. Can we beat Illinois? Can we come out and out hustle, out physical and out play them and earn a win. Then, and only then, can we worry about the next game on the schedule. We shall see, game time is a bit over two hours away.

Isn't it odd, that you rarely see these types of blow outs in the basketball tournament???

...and speaking of Chris Beard, the national championship football game SUCKS. How did TCU beat Michigan. Harbaugh must be sitting in his bathroom right now vomiting profusely.

Well that sucks.

I do think that Juwan should be jumping moving forward....

I heard a rumor that the post office could possibly be relocated, the building razed and replaced by a convention center. Not sure if that is a person's wishful thinking or whether there is some meat on that bone.

Everybody...deep breath. Okay, proceed.

If by "we" you mean the fans, then we have met and oftentime exceeded expectations. If by "we" you are referring to the team, then we have met expectations perhaps two of the years, but underperformed about six of the years and grossly underperformed about two of the years.

Don't know how or why; but this team is broken. Perhaps a simple tweak is all that is necessary, perhaps not.

Tough ass win against a struggling but gutsy team. Really liked that we limited the number of 3's that we shot. Really liked taking the ball to the paint. Really liked our work at the stripe. Good effort and a good win. We are the better ream, but didn't always act or look like it. Need to keep the MOJO going and tske care of a struggling Illinois team.
