Huskers/Cubs

I believe another reason the NU game against Creighton was moved to Friday Nov 22nd was because the Big East TV partners have football commitments on Saturday November 23rd.

Since Fred has come to Lincoln he has missed out on most of the best Nebraska high school and transfer portal players. With NIL this has to change, I was hopeful NU would get Frankie but another swing and miss. I know it’s a different era, but NU’s best decade the 90’s, the roster was filled with a mix of Nebraska and out of state talent.

I missed 5 minutes of the show. ‘Every offseason should be important and this program should never have to make a run to the NIT, a run should be to the NCAA tournament!

I totally agree with what you are saying here. I would love to have many on this board have a round table discussion with Trev about Huskerhoops and what his vision is for the program and what can be done to attract Nebraska High school players to Nebraska basketball.

I’m wondering just how much of a commitment Nebraska puts on Huskerhoops financially? I would like to see how we stack up against BIG teams and overall ranking in division 1. With the new BIG tv deal, there should be no reason Huskerhoops budget should not be in the top 25 annually. Trev was on Sports Nighty for his once a month appearance yesterday evening and of course no mention of Huskerhoops.

I have been a fan since the late 70’s and have always thought the next season will be the year the Huskers win a NCAA tournament game, since that has not happened, Huskerhoops reminds me of this phase: (free beer tomorrow). Unless Fred can bring in multiple top 100 freshmen or proven transfers this program will not make the NCAA tournament, hopefully the 1890 nil collective will help with recruiting. Only 1 NCAA tournament appearance in 23 years is not acceptable from a power 6 program, with resources.

I’ve been a HuskerHoops fan since the late 70’s,I usually went to 3 or 4 home games a year and secured season tickets when the Huskers moved to Pinnacle Bank Arena, I live in Omaha. For many years the talk was the university just did not make a full commitment to HuskerHoops, no practice facility, just an average arena in the Devaney Center and hiring mid-major coaches. After getting a state of art practice facility, new arena in Pinnacle Bank arena and finally hiring a power 5 coach that has NCAA tourney wins, the program has sunk to worst stretch I have seen. My question is what’s it going to take for Fred to turn this program around? I realize BIG conference is a great basketball conference, but I see many other programs (Football schools) invest much less than HuskerHoops and are making the NCAA tournament on a regular basis and other power 5 programs with new coaches turn it around in the first few years. My final thoughts, HuskerHoops needs to recruit the state of Nebraska much better, especially when they are highly rated players. Thanks for listening, HuskerHoops fan in Omaha.

With Xavier Johnson having signed a LOI, why would NU give him his release?

I a diehard Husker basketball fan since the late 70's. I'm just very frustrated with the last of respect for the NU basketball program. We should at least have a first round home game in the NIT.

If I was NU I would consider boycotting the NIT. I understand NU was a bubble team, but to get a 5th seed and no home game is an absolute slap in the face. NU basketball is the Rodney Dangerfield of college hoops: NO RESPECT!

This post is wanting more for this program! The goal is NCAA tourney period! Going to the NIT or staying home is about the same now days.

I agree, the pressure was on the Huskers today. I think it really helped Michigan playing yesterday, most teams have struggled shooting there first game in MSG. I was amazed that Wagner was able to dunk and flex and no tech was issued?

There is no Knee jerk reaction here, just history repeating the same old story! Miles teams have earned a 4th seed twice, and have lost both times. I have followed this team for 40 plus years and I am a season ticket holder.,Just want to see this team be a consistent NCAA team.

I would love to be playing in Dayton. I'm just tired of knowing we are going to lose a game. I have seen this repeated for 40 plus years with very few exceptions.

I think Bill Moos should wait until the roster is set before he renews Miles contract. If all underclassmen come back this team will contend, and be in the NCAA tourney next year and Miles should have his contract extended.If guys leave we could be back the the 11-15 win season.
