Love it. Really needed a game manager PG, and the great size is huge for us. Need guard depth and he's perfect. Reminds me of griesel, and imo we missed him when he left, that's a rare commodity someone like that who plays hard on D, has size and versatility and can drive the paint too.

Fred being Fred will also elevate any guy who comes here in their shooting, since he's a shooting coach. But we just need a ball handler who's reliable. Keep crootin! Need more wing size depth and a big man probably. I'm behind on news on mast and if he's back.

A&M was just at their peak best, not much else to say.

And all I gotta say is welcome to the party if you're new as a husker fan. This kind of pain is NOTHING, lol. We were forged in tougher stuff than this. As much as it hurts, we will bounce back. Love what Fred said post-game. My biggest concern is bouncing back and keeping the momentum immediately; I want to hit the portal, build a strong roster and continue the tournament streak. That's the name of the game here in NE. super proud of how amazing our fans are and how we took over Memphis from everything we saw. If we'd won that game, that 70-80% husker crowd would've goen NUTS.

Oh well.

GBR forever, very proud of this team. Heartbreaking. This is the emotions of March, this is why you gotta make it every year!!

Omaha was so much fun. Might make it to regionals in Omaha every year if they hold them. It felt like cws, which us guys in my family already have the tradition of making the pilgrimage for every year. It was awesome.

That’s great! Except for the Gunners thing! I have found there are more EPL fans on average across Canada than I knew in the US. Of course, it’s really taken off in the last decade or so as well. I do find the announcing and commentary for the EPL in Canada much better than the US. We have the EPL on Fubo and all of the shows and commentary are from the UK. And yes, Rice has turned out to be amazing. I wasn’t as sure at the start of the season but he has made me forget all about Partey. I think Ange will bring Spurs to challenge for titles, but like Arteta it will take a couple seasons. COYS!!!

Hell yeah. Even I can appreciate other prem fans, football fans in north America. Love my Canadian brothers.

Yeah for real, I think arsenal fans(and arteta), we're ready to sell players that are always injury-prone hurt 80% of the time. As amazing as party was, I'd sell him in a blink this summer. We've got some business to do this summer.

I'm still jealous of Son! I'd spend 100 mil on him too, though that's a pipe dream lol.

As a Spurs fan, I like the Nebraska rice much more than the London rice! But the UK rice has been very good this season. 

Haha I love it, (not your squad ) it's always awesome when I find fellow EPL fans online and esp rare with communities like this that mainly American... So it's sweet. I mean, one of my best old college buds is a Chelsea fan and we get along swimmingly. And there's a local Liverpool bar I like to watch games at in Lincoln, the Irish pub. Love it. Cheers! Enjoy the game today, and COYG

(rice is the cheapest steal of £100M pounds I've ever seen. World class.)

And fwiw, all the sessions today in Omaha were awesome. The last game was bit slow and boring, too much referee. But yeah had some good talks with iowa state fans (there were a ton of them obv) - - they're still bitter at fred, I don't know I blame them. But I love him. Love this team. Let's get a dub tomorrow.

and as expected, quite a few husker fans representing in Omaha today. I have to guess the rest of our fans are in Memphis, at least that's what it feels like.

GBFR! Let's DO this!! Husker Hoops double header after a full day of basketball for me. I took vacation for the whole week, I'm not missing this.

The Zatarain's Wild Rice kits don't suck.  

As an arsenal fan, this might sound like a tangent, but we've greatly enjoyed OUR rice this season. I'd like to add a dab more rice from my husker hoops.

The kid has talent. Excited for next year too.

Huskers - 74

Trev and the culty-boys - 64

1 win, and exactly the one we need! GBR baby.

Could see us upsetting Houston though if we take out TAMU at the knees, but that's just me. I believe.

I don't have my sub to KP anymore, so thank you!!

I've already started researching! Ofc

Looks like a physical team, rebounding, not great shooting but they have great athletic guards - - watch out especially for their star, a short pure scoring guard in wade Taylor (#4).

Top rebounder is andersson Garcia (#11)

I think this is a good matchup, we got a good draw despite the media focus on trev.

we will focus on rebounding, but play good D and we might blow these guys out, they're typical SEC fare with athletic teams you can't just out score but that don't play any D. If you D them up and play physical I think it's not that bad. TBD. I haven't watched much sec this year, but I checked out the sec tourney highlights from A&M, and they're hot rn. But we are too. Shouldn't be as bad as some say.

Time to scout the aggies! Should be good. We can beat anyone, I love this team. All focus on game 1. This is gonna be fun. Glad we got a Friday game, I'll be in Omaha all day thurs

Revenge! GBFR

Lol ofc we got Memphis. Just happy making it and we deserve this 8 seed. It's typical they'd go for the spice and give us A&M. Guess the rumors were true on memphis

Hoops are fairly new territory for them, and they tend to bring massive passion into something new they like. We need a Korean player next.  Then you can get some *really* crazy fans!

Lol yeah. I'm a huge soccer fan, and I'm jealous of spurs fans as an arsenal fan for having a player like son

Corn crazed!! :  75

Orange haze :  72

It should not go unnoticed that during our 17-0 run we were playing suffocating defense.

At no point did we have a defensive breakdown.

Absolutely brilliant coaching by HCFH!

HCFH stayed with the hot hands in Bryce and KT.

Why didn’t we go to the rim much in this game, because we didn’t have to. 
When did we go to the rim, in the second half when we are up by 20 and IU was standing flat footed guarding against the 3.

We opportunistically would run and then walk the ball up the court. We burned clock in the second half while still scoring 43.

We have broken the Hoosiers.

 

After the game, and as it was ending we acted like this was just step one. There was barely any celebration. This looked like a team on a mission.

 

JA, JG, RM did some serious work on boards. 
 

Those whole weekend has been set up for us to go to the Championship and broken exactly how I wanted it to break.

I can't help myself, I get triggered anytime husker fans use the abbrev. for 'head coach __' with HCFH or whatever... It invokes the name of frost in my head every time. Seems like he was the main one I only ever saw with that abbreviation.

It is what it is, isn't your fault. But I get Nam flashbacks when I see HC_ _

It doesn't hurt that I already loved Japan, the Japanese ppl and anime fwiw, but I love the huge following KT has gathered, these Japanese fans are so passionate and it's so wholesome. Hell yeah

Plus, just the fact that like, 2/3 of them made the long flight FROM JAPAN, that's insane unparalleled commitment as a fan. Big love.

Looks like the Ohio State, Wisconsin, Purdue and Illinois fans there are now Nebrasketball fans. This is what the big 12 tournament was like when hoiberg was at Iowa State. 

this is the march madness, and when a team is basketball MAGIC, its hard to not join in and have fun. Its the same at sessions in the ncaa tourney, its CONTAGIOUS!

The two guys next to the corn cob guy down on the floor aren't even Nebraska fans. They are having a hellva time down there.

Haha I saw that too, all game they're been bow arrow cellys, really hammin it up. looks fun. but yeah I think one is a mich fan, one has a corn cob jersey or something, or maybe the guy next to him. lol

this has been a ton of fun to watch, but more important I'm so happy for that huge husker crowd that made it up to minny... looks like a lotta fun LOL

couldnt have gone much better. so is this what having a bye does for your freshness? we look so much more ready. all the rest and prep really helped looks like

GBFR! glad we're showing up and not getting embarrassed, this husker team is LEGIT!

I'm so excited for you, yeah I agree I live vicariously through yall who can afford to fly to wherever the huskers end up.

BUT: I've found a nice in between this year, I'm going to my first march madness, I'm ponying up for Omaha tix for all the Thursday sessions. And it turns out my dad and brother (who have been at a handful of home games this season too) also got tickets and will be seeing me that weekend at some of the games! This is awesome.

I'm only in my 30s but I can relate to a lot of what you've said, Dave + others here. Really excited to jump at the chance to go to a tourney the huskers are in, but I've also never been to the ncaa tourney in person yet. Gonna be fun whoever I see in the Omaha pod.

GBMFR

This game was so perfect. Hats off to Michigan for shooting the lights out the gym to keep pace in the first half, that was crazy. But we took care of business like we should've against the #14 team in the league. But wow this really feels real now.

Wasn't waiting for this win to do this, but I was planning and finally did get tickets to all the Thursday march madness games in Omaha, I've never been to MM, much less the big ten tourney. It's awesome we got the 3 seed btw. I was there in 2014, but this all feels so much better, it's definitely the peak for me as a husker Hoops fan. And yesterday couldn't have been much better, except for the women to win too, but I'm so proud of that team too. What a banner year for husker Hoops men and women both, crazy.

GBR! I'll see any of yall who make it to omaha. Seems like there was a huge rush right after the game on tickets, probably husker fans and hopefully there's a selection Sunday thing at pba, I'll probably make that as well.

This is peak.

Credit to Rutgers, they put up a fight. Got a bit scary at times but the moxy of this husker team. Love hoiberg ball era.

And for the love of God, put all college refs thru a training seminar. There should also be a review after games where they have to answer for their bad calls. Everyone's human but something has to be done, it's bad. English EPL soccer is dealing with the same crisis

I'd be interested, I wanna see but pba has to be up there in the nation for best home court adv and atmospheres. Love it here! GBR

Knee to the jugular, have to kill this game off! You give a scrappy Rutgers team any space, they'll punish ya. Watch omoruyi, everyone forgets about him. Lock down.

Leggo!
