Schierman came from that league. So did KU’s main guard. Greisel and Andrew Morgan too.

It’s a weird stat that we are in our best three year run in a couple of decades, yet we didn’t even make our conference tourney at the end of that stretch. One commonality is that Tominaga was here for most of that run and he wasn’t here when we failed to make our conference tourney. He brought a lot of enthusiasm and energy and a bit of swagger we seem to be missing. I agree with whoever said the leadership is lacking among the players with this group.

Many buyouts are driven by having a booster willing to write the check. I have no idea if there is “that guy” that passionately follows Nebraska basketball. But I agree that the university won’t do it without a booster chipping in.

I would be fine with it if they decided to make a change. Fred has been given ample time to right the ship and while better than his horrific start, it feels like we have hit a big wall. Making a change would at least show that we are serious about being competitive. And as you said, NIL makes it different than it used to be. I suspect NIL dollars would be more available as people invested in the program will be excited for the change. Watching these late season collapses is rough on the fans. And the defense just isn’t working. If we don’t do something I fear apathy will set in. And with that it will be harder to get NIL.

Wild Omaha won the Summit with Frankie leaving. Didn’t see that coming.

Wow we got robbed by the officials. Just wow.

I thought those were the same guy

Nope. He played Kalkbrenner perfectly, which allowed us to swarm the shooters on the perimeter. For all of Kalkbrenner’s strengths, being a traditional low post scoring threat isn’t one of them. Meah being strong enough to handle him one on one was key. I’m guessing, though, that Meah’s minutes going forward is based purely on matchups. Our 7 man rotation is pretty locked in it seems, and i don’t disagree with it one bit. This appears to be our best lineup.

Man we needed that one.

it seems like eons ago since the Creighton game. Our defense was lights out. We covered the three point line extremely well. I don’t know what the heck happened with our defense but they need to look at the Creighton tape and rediscover our defensive mojo.

i don’t know why we keep going to Bryce to handle the ball in late game situations. He has very poor ball handling and passing skills in that role. Not sure what the coaches see that they like in that situation but we keep doing it….

both guys didn’t have situational awareness on that play…

That was a masterclass by the coaches on how to play Kalk on both ends of the floor. I assumed going in that Kalk would have 8 blocks and Creighton would make a ton of open threes off of double teams like most teams seem to do to us. The defense was insane. He never even got the ball to kick out to the shooters to pass around the perimeter. And even though Creighton shot a ton of threes the shooters rarely had time to get comfortable. Offensively the way we attacked was brilliant. We aren’t a great shooting team so we either attacked where Kalk wasn’t or our drivers went right into his chest like you are supposed to do against a shot blocker. I am just amazed we did it a full 40. I thought against Saint Mary’s our team started to figure out how the pieces fit together. But I never expected a dominant performance like this!

Nice!!! Welcome to Nebraska young man!

He tweeted GBR during the game. His teammate Derrick White is from Colorado so I assume they thought it would be fun because where they both are from. I suppose he’s a Jaysker.
