I'm enjoying me some Husker BBall!

My initial impression was the talent Fred brought in could win some games in the Big 10 - but I think the lack of practices/normalcy really slowed down any team development. And I don't think a few guys have worked out the way Fred assumed they would. Some guys getting minutes will not be next season (more likely they will xfer out).
It shows up mostly on offense at this point.....hopefully they will find a way to grind out a few Ws in the remaining games.

This has nothing to do with the last month.
Hoiberg is 2-24 in conference play. The problem is they are an awful program outdoing all his predecessors.
The losing streak continues a Huskers fall to Minnesota, 79-61. Dug a hole and were down 15 at half and grew to 19 but Gophers miss 19 shots in a row but NU could only get to within 7. On a side note the scoring drought that usually shows up fails to materialize. Baby steps. And oh yeah Teddy Allen doesn't play(coaches decision)
Aside from the excuse of being left with little talent and whatever recruiting we've done, isolated to just the coaches and the guys they've brought in, does anyone thing there is good coaching being displayed? The excuse that Tim Miles wouldn't have done any better doesn't sit well.

Unfortunately, it's the "Nebraska Athletics Sh!tshow Part 2" with basketball. Football and basketball both look like a cluster of athletes who lack coaching. Hopefully, something changes for both programs next year....
1 FG in a ten minute span of the first half doesn't help. There was a sequence where Teddy Allen drove to the basket 4 straight possessions with absolutely no idea of what he wanted to do other than try to get a foul. He was so out of control each time. Too many games off, too many good Big 10 Teams and players and coaches right now for his team to over come.

The last play of the first half is typical of what I've seen from this team under Hoiberg. Tied going into the half with 38 seconds to go. Nebraska gets the defensive rebound, brings the ball up the court. Rather than use a timeout, Banton stands at the top of key letting time go down. With about 6 seconds on the shot clock he passes the ball to Mayan who immediately gets pressure and losses the ball as he's trying to dribble. Wisconsin takes the ball and hits a 3. Game over.
I believe at least 4 guys won't be back next year (I'm assuming that's even with an extra year) -Teddy Allen, Trevor Lakes, Thorir. Thorbjarnarson, Akol Arop.
23 conference games lost in a row is not making improvement regardless of what Big 10 announcers keep saying. Decent recruiting class coming in next year so we'll see what happens. If they have another 7 or 8 guys leave, then its another 8 win season.
Huskers put up valiant effort against Illinois but fall in OT. NU had last shot chance in regulation but didn't even get shot off in what has become typical for Husker basketball. If you are in for moral victories than congrats you got one. Other than that the losing streak grows.
Some facts colder than the outside.
NU hasn't beaten a D-1 team in 2 1/2 months.
Nu hasn't beaten a top ten team in 7 years. Had a small window last night but proved why they are who they are.
The official conference losing streak is ??. Nobody is sure anymore. 25, 26 games?
I've tried to find the B10 all time record but haven't been able to.
2-27
That is Hoiberg's conference record at Nebraska.
Note: the longest pure losing streaks in P5 have four teams in a heated battle. Ironically all of them are familiar to Nebraska fans.
1. Kansas St. 11
2. Northwestern 10
3/4. Nebraska and Iowa st. tied 9 ea.

How about a little pool play Big 10 vs. Big 12 style?

I see an interesting tournament here.
Seems like the offense is actually making some effort to listen to coaching now, less aimless possessions ending in either somebody barreling into the paint with no chance of scoring or jacking up wild 3s. Notice I said "less", not "none" :| But I'll take any improvement I can get.
Now to fix the turnovers. 11 point lead on PSU gone because of unforced turnovers. Migraine-inducing.
