I disagree with the last line. Talent wasn't an issue today. There's no excuse for today. Just like there is no excuse for samford and Incarnate Word. Maybe just maybe, Tim is struggling to coach that talent up. It shouldn't take until these guys are seniors to have a winning non-con record and beat Big South schools

While technically true....it is awefully tough to have any sort of positive feelings about the rest of the year. All signs point to another losing record and no postseasons. You have another example of a terrible loss. Its 3 years running now. That's not a fluke anymore. That's a trend. You continue to see signs of inconsistent offensive struggles. SIgns of guys who are supposedly good shooters, regressing. Signs of poor personnel decisions. While it's theoretically possible that a miracle 180 could happen. Its quite ridiculous to think it will and to not seriously question the direction of the program

If it blows up, it blows up. Real hard to find any reason to believe that Miles is going to get that roster to gel anyways

This program isn't heading in the right direction.

Nevermind. It's not b.s. It should be a very valid discussion at this point.

Roby is too passive on offense

We're just not very good....again.

Liked the effort. Never expected to win today but was hoping we wouldn't dig a big hole early. Hopefully some rust came off with Gill today. If we can get this type of game out of him.....we can still be tough. Jordy keeps coming along. Evan had a good game. McVeigh is where he should be. Hopefully we'll stay away from some foul trouble so we'll never have to see Fuller again.

Where he should be

We need to start Gill at 3. Let him get some time with the starting lineup to knock the dust off.

Get Fuller out

More Roby. Less Fuller

Not to mention, he doesn't offer a lot of other redeeming qualities right now. He's out there to be a shooter...yet he's been incredibly marginal at it.

I'd agree with a lot of this. Though I don't think excuses or rationalizations can be made this year. This is his team/program. Any errors/talent deficits/lack of experience is on him. No longer any Doc hold out. He can survive a .500ish season this year. But IMO, that makes next year his defining year.

Thank you. After Saturday, we will have played as many Top 12 (at time of their rankings) non-conference game in the last 15 days as Doc played Top 25 non-conference games in 6 years. Not to mention the additional advantage of having to play a 16-game conference schedule vs. 18 games. Those were two extra SWAC games that Doc scheduled.

Marshall isn't coming to Nebraska. He's already turned down better programs than us who were offering him a big pay raise. Same with Drew. He couldn't get away with here the stuff he does at Baylor.

Would agree He needs a tourney run this year or next

I understand the Defensive concern. But when McVeigh is getting 36 minutes....don't preach defense to me.

The fire Miles talk is premature. That being said...we're at a point where it's fair to question

How about not coming out and digging yourself into a major hole 4 minutes into the game again. For the game we defended well...but we were bad early. And it gave them the momentum. Offensively we were a disaster again. Roster management was a disaster.

I'm not upset about the loss. I made money tonight. I didn't expect to win. I'm upset about the how. Creighton is a damn good team this year. There's no shame in losing to them. There is in looking unprepared...AGAIN for them.

McVeigh needs to sit unless we start specifically try to get him involved from the perimeter and not just the random kick out. He brings nothing else to the table. Gill has been a major disappointment but needs to play more. It's the only way he'll break out of this slump. Have no clue why Horne was getting minutes and then all of a sudden gets none.

10 wins is too with the parody in the league this year

My slack for Miles is diminishing quickly.

We're a terrible shooting team. Getting tired of saying that....year after year after year
