Nebrasketball 2023-2024

This is typical Nebrasketball. I'm in no way surprised by this. To be expected.This is some hot garbage. Again. Every other game
I'm just overreacting to all the fans screaming "RANK US YOU COWARDS!" every other week. This team is doing everything they can to blow a chance at the NCAA tournament, and it's year 4 for Hoiberg. I really wanted to see Nebrasketball win a tourney game and it shouldn't be THIS hard.
Watching ESPN right now (halftime of Clemson-Duke) and they showed TJ Otzelberger has 9 wins over top ten teams since taking over at Iowa State.
That was Hoiberg's top assistant, and many believe the true brains behind the operation back then.
I've said that before, but I felt like saying it again. :shrug:

anyone who thinks this team should be ranked is rank and file certifiable. You can't lose game you should win on the road. I had a back and forth with a Husker fan on FB who said this team would make the NCAA tourney with 18 wins. I said no chance in hades does this team make the tourney with 18 wins unless they win the conference tourney. They aren't Duke or North Carolina who both could make the tourney with 18 wins. They will need at least 20 wins and probably more like 22 wins to make the tourney.
Yeah, Tim Miles had a team with 22 wins, they went to the NIT and lost in the first round. They even beat a couple ranked teams here and there in the regular season. Wasn't enough.
Loosing to Maryland is acceptable - road losses happen in conference play - I don't think expecting a "W" was realistic.
But getting blown off the court - THAT is not acceptable. First 10 minutes or so Nebraska played well - but as soon as Maryland found it could make 3s on how the D was being played they lit up the scoreboard - and Nebraska didn't seem to have an answer defensively.

Tradition and History help with getting you ranked. We have neither of those aspects. I'm not sure if we win 20 games that we even make the NcAA tourney.
Keep hearing there is more to Gary's absence than just the calf issue, sounds like he got into some trouble for weed
Unfortunately hearing same thing, just not the reason. Wondering if another players absence isn't for same reason though.
It sounds like Fred & Trev have been meeting trying to figure out what is a fair punishment and how to keep it on the down low. I think Fred is concerned it may hurt recruiting if players see that they could get suspended for smoking weed at Nebraska (we are living in crazy times).
Just heard Trev & Fred met with the team and "asked" them to "tone it down" during the season and it wasn't well received by the players. The inmates are running the asylum...
Fred and Trev should be fine as long as they stay away from the word "plantation"
That would probably explain some of the horrifyingly stupid turnovers and overall sloppy play. Which have continued in the first half of the Wisconsin game to the tune of a 16-point deficit.
Looks like Wisconsin is going to melt down completely, surprising. Unfortunately keeps us in Hoiberg's apparently weed-fueled purgatory.
