Huskerone

Jesus the Huskers are a horrible shooting team.  They don't just miss, they MISS BAD.  My god.

this one is sitting different.  been a fan since Pike/Nee.  Just don't know now.  30+ years.  I can't believe it.  Did get a good month of basketball from Miles.  Other than that....

Facilities, coaches, AD's, players, doesn't matter, nothing gets better for this program.

All the investment in facilities and coaches have gotten us nothing.

3-21 from 3?! lol 

students just tired after a losing football season, and now a lethargic, poor basketball effort.  Its just not fun.  what is there to even look forward too?  Lets go drink! lol

I wish I was kidding, but the majority of our student section just all got up and did a mass exodus. The rail yard is calling. 

No fun watching at home on the tv, probably less fun in person.  don't blame them.

so positive thoughts, out the window.  D effort tonight is...um, well, lazy?  Shooting is, ugh.  Probably going to watch Verge just drive to the rim the rest of the way.  Embarrassing, but used to it I guess, such is life as a Husker fan.

Positive thoughts tonight, looking forward to the game.  Go Big Red!

Uhg, can we go back to when the star city video came out and the Husker hype machine had me actually excited about the season?  Now, I guess whatever.

Verge only getting 16 minutes, and our bench going off?  Hmmmm

Post game from coach Hoiberg, something to the effect of the guys are starting to figure each other out, getting better.  Can we "figure each other out", and "get better" BEFORE we play creighton someday? 

Didn't watch or listen, but looked over the stats, and seems like the same'ol, same'ol.  Out rebounded, allowed 40+% on FG, almost 50% on 3's, destroyed on second chance points, FT% meh.  Just not a recipe for success in the B1G, on paper anyway.  The good though, bench points tonight wow.  Happy for Tominaga.  Glad to get the dub.

Sounds like offense played better.  3 days late imo.  Better late than never I guess.  Hopefully the start of something.

And Another thing! How the heck does this happen?

Never falling for the Husker hype machine again. Star city. Pff.  When does Husker sports get fun again?

Just hoping Verge buys into the we>me soon.  What changed from the exhibition games?  I hated that 2014/15 offense, the stand around and wait for Pettaway to do something offense.  Hoping not headed down that road again.  All will be forgiven if we get a dub Tuesday.  Let's go! GBR!

My first post of the season, great takes as always on this site.  I'm super excited about the season, the B1G is a beast of a conference and a grind.  I think we'll be competitive in most our games.  Hey, maybe beat the team that shall not be named up North this year.

With that said, I get the Watson/Verge comparisons.  How about Verge compared to Cam Mack?  Games seem similar, both can dish the ball, and get to the rim.  Edge to Verge for no arrow shooting in my book.  Verge probably a better leader, team guy too.

Anyway, Hoiberg has something going here.  Hopefully this is the season they do something that's never been done here before.  GBR!

Not sure what we had in place before as far as strength and conditioning, Hoiberg must have identified it as an area for improvement.  Good luck Mr. Joseph and welcome to the Nebrasketball family.

Saint Thomas announcing tomorrow.

Good luck coach Miles!  You were fun to root for as a Husker coach, and will be again at San Jose State.  You gave us a month+ of great basketball in 2014.  2017, beat Kansas or maybe Creighton in non-con, and we're probably dancing again in 2018.  I wish you would have been able to build on that success but it wasn't to be.

Did I see right, he's only 215 lbs?  Hopefully while Andre and Walker continue to get the big minutes, "Nets" can hit Chipotle and the weight room for a year.

Anyone know if he can make free throws?

Looks like a great find, and a freshman to boot, hopefully he sticks around. Welcome to the Husker family "Nets"!

The simple question I ask myself is did the program get better with this hire?  I'm no expert, with the little I read, I think for sure, yes.  So another step closer to getting where we need to be.  Doc still on staff is huge too, his knowledge base will still be leveraged for game prep/planning.

Phew-- I can still cheer for him since he didn't choose the blue school.  HA!

 

So I was thinking about this today-- and it isn't related specifically to Hunter though he is included in the thought.  Think of how many of these kids are having to make these decisions this year without even visiting a campus.  I mean... not only is it one of the biggest decisions of their lives, they are now doing it, most likely, without ever stepping foot on the campus.  It's just crazy.  

 

With that in mind, I wonder if we'll see an increase in transfers in the next 1-2 years because of this.  How many kids chose a school that wasn't the right fit?  How many kids get homesick when they "really" see how far away from home they are.  

My thoughts exactly .  Someday, maybe Nebraska can start getting top instate kids in men's hoops.  Life isn't as black and white as I once thought, so each kid has to make the best decision for himself and family. I just hope Nebraska hoops starts to be that "best decision" for future recruits (maybe starts with the GI kid Traudt).  Good luck to Sallis, what a great opportunity for this young man.

I like this most recent recruiting class, and think of it as probably the first class Hoiberg and Co. has not had to rush, or take some chances on kids.  I think we'll see better classes from here on out.  I don't think we'll have to worry about high quality basketball players saying yes to coach H. 

I'd show the Rutgers game as a great example to a recruit of how he wants the team to play.  Hard to say no to that style of play.  Oh, and I totally agree the NBA pedigree on this staff is an advantage for us.

Who would have thought that a freshman on the Iowa State team that following season would be the coach to finally get us that first tourney win
