Frankie’s visit is tomorrow: “A source confirmed to HuskerOnline that Fidler has locked in an unofficial visit to Lincoln on Thursday.”

OK, guys, hear me out here:
 
I know that you can't do the "what if" stuff and it works both ways, BUT ...
 
In the first half, they waived off a Keisei bucket and clearly incorrectly called him for travelling. Count that basket. Now, we're only down 12 at half.
 
In addition, Josiah Allick missed 5 layups in the first half. Point blank. If he makes just 3 of those, now we're only down six.
 
For the game, they shot an unbelievable 13 of 23 (56.5%) from beyond the arc. Let's say they just shoot a torrid 40%, which is still 12% better than their average and 5% better than they shot against Houston. That's 9 of 23. That's 12 points difference. Maybe they get a couple of offensive rebounds off those misses and get 2-point put-backs. That's still 8 fewer points on their end.
 
So, instead of losing 83-98, that puts it at 91-90, good guys on top.
 
My point is we weren't as bad as the final score made us look AND the game really came down to them being way uncharacteristically hot from deep.
 
And to add to this point, that same team, shooting a more ordinary 35% from deep, just took a #1 seed to OT.
 
That's who we lost to.

That's basically my same thought process. We'll always have that magnificent comeback this season against UW (well, it happened the prior yr. too) but this past season CJ literally willed the team to victory with elite shot-making in that 2nd half. Thing of beauty against those pesky Badgers. GBR Always.

Yeah, last year I was very worried about bringing in the right pieces to replace Walker, Griesel and Bandoumel.  However, now that Fred has proven he can identify, recruit, and replace those types of players with similar types or upgraded types of players, I feel much more confident Fred and staff will do the same this offseason.  The lesson I learned from last year is that the pieces we land may not be the ones everyone is talking about now and that's ok as long as they find the right pieces to fit and to keep moving this thing in a positive direction.  I agree it's in Fred we trust at this point. 

Perhaps.  But each was supposed to be a one-and-done—and both rarely saw the floor.  Signing a 5 star brings with it a responsibility to use and develop that talent—like Hoiberg did with Bryce McGowens.  Signing a 5 star and relegating him to the bench seems like a breach of trust of some sort for that player.  And it’s likely the last time a 5 star signs on with that coach?

Yes, it’s fake.
But what if it’s true?
 

BOOOOOO!!!!!🤬🤬🤬
 
Getting him ready for the student section!😉
 
oh wait you mean he could transfer here?🥴🤔🤔🤔

This season will age like fine wine as the years go on. Great season, got to go my first NCAA tournament where the Huskers played. We have a coach with a stable core of assistants and players. It's possible to be optimistic and realistic at the same time. GBR

Fake story from a parody account 

Sheesch!
this has been a great year!!!
we outperform our 12th place prediction.
our third place finish is in a conference that is undefeated so far (except for us) in both the NCAA and the NIT first rounds.
we made it to the dance.
we don’t get to play a nobody at the dance and pretend we beat someone good.
the last game and a half exposed our weaknesses.
Fred Hoiberg and Co. will continue to improve Nebrasketball.
it’s been a great—and totally unexpected—run this season.
can’t wait for next year!!

Tonight sucked, but this season exceeded my expectations.  I was just hoping to make the NIT.  The next question is who comes back.  I hope everyone comes back that can.  Getting Mast, Gary and Williams to come back is huge.  I think Ulis will be a solid PG next year, but I’d like to see us get a stud PG in the portal, along with an athletic big/rim protector.  Losing Keisei is a big loss.  Wish we had him one more year.  I’m a big fan of Allick because of his attitude and also because how much he loved being here.  He played with a lot of emotion and hustle.  I wouldn’t mind continuing the tradition of bringing in another Nebraska kid that really wants to be here (i.e. Sam Griesel or Josiah Allick).  Who could that Nebraska kid be?
