    So who goes deeper into the tournament?

    NU Women

    NU Men

     

    The men got the more difficult task - Houston in the 2nd round.   I think the Husker Women will make it to the Elite 8.  The men will win the first game ... finally in program history.  Houston - depends what team shows up - the one that beat Purdue or the one that lost to Iowa by 18 a few days later.  

     

    The whole NU vs A&M for both Men and Women really shows that the selection committee is a sham. It is all political and ratings driven.   To be honest, I thought the Women deserved a 5th seed and possibly a 4th would not have been a big stretch.   

    I think the women. 

     

    But honestly both teams could win more than 1 game. Both very well coached, and if you get hot from behind the Arc, they can beat anyone.

    If it wasn't for bad luck, Nebrasketball would have no luck at all.

     

     

    Only a couple weeks? That isnt a huge deal. I mean, maybe misses a couple B1G games at most. Get him back by the 12th at Iowa.

     

    Would be nice against Purdue but we need him in stretch run.

    OVs set up to TCU, Oregon and Michigan in June.

     

    Says he's planning to OV here in the fall.  Possibly the Michigan game.

    I am also planning my OV for the Michigan game and then an unofficial at the Nebraska/Minnesota game.

     

     

    Hope they push out the red carpet for a 34 year old unathletic dad. 

     

    I will challenge Bair to a race to see if his speed is truly what others say(wanted to keep this on topic)

    McCollum picks Oklahoma. Not surprising.

     

    Bummer but I think we are all in on the 3 local boys: Hunter/Wrightsell/Allick.

     

    Hunter is the only one who can play PG of those 3 and I am still concerned about that.

    We have players listed as pg that did not play year.  You must watch the practices, since you know so much!!! 

    I assume you are talking about Ramel Lloyd or Quaran McPherson?

     

    Quaran is honestly a guy I thought would transfer. I have heard very little either way on him and seems to be a project guy. 

     

    Seems like Ramel Lloyd has impressed a lot of people while he redshirted. He might have an opportunity to be more like Griesel, he has the body of more of a wing/off-guard. Does he have the ball handling skills to bring it up and work the offense without a guy like Walker to help out?

     

    The issue with him is experience. I am not sure you can trust him or Quaran to be your starting PG in the B1G without any real college experience. 

     

    Can either mature in to that, sure? But I think this is where you have to look at depth and experience. Let those guys grow into the role. We need someone who can help work the offense. My concern with Sallis being that guy is also experience but he obviously has a ton of talent. 

     

    And no, I dont watch practices. I am going off what those who do say. It is all speculation and a lot of my opinion. I trust Fred and the coaches and so whomever they land, I trust they have a plan. 

    Its April and fun to speculate.

    There are times I scratch my head when you post comments out of the north 40.  

    1.  The portal closes May 11th if they qualify for immediate eligibility.  After the 11th, players have to sit or get a waiver.  I will agree that Wilcher & Briedenbach were not good this last year, but it is getting late for anyone to jump in the portal. 

    2.  Kesei is the only logical possible departure.  

    3.  We have 2 point guards who did not play last year & Sallis will only come here if he can play the point.

    4.  Sallis is Hoiberg's #1

     

    1. I am not saying they would leave but as we find players who will take minutes it isnt out of the blue. 

    2. Sometimes the departures dont need to be logical for them to happen. 

    3. If you honestly think we have a true PG currently on this team, then I am concerned for you. Unless you have some quote to back up your comment about Sallis only coming here to play the point, I am not buying what you are putting down. 

    4. Well duh.

    Only 2 more spots open.

    Well, maybe.

     

    Still no word on Kesei(though it seems to be trending the right way).

     

    Breidenbach/Wilcher still seem like up in the air.

     

    We are still pursuing transfers: Sallis(G), Hugley(C), McCollum(PG), Wrightsell(G) and Freshman: Brady Dunlap(F)

     

    Wouldnt be shocked if we saw some turnover still.

     

    If we only have two slots I would prefer Hugley and Sallis. My main concern with that would be who is our PG, so part of me leans to McCollum but its hard to pass up on a legit center and Sallis.

    I'm not sure he has an NBA future unless he starts shooting 3's effectively.  He didn't get much of a chance to shoot them at NU, but his stroke looks OK based on what I saw in warmups.  He definitely can play in Europe and make a lot of money with the skills he has shown.

    Ya, Walker strikes me as an overseas guy. 

     

    His size and skills just arent really set up for todays NBA game.

     

    His age wont help him either.

    Wonder if the Nembhard move opens the door for Hunter to go there?   Now they need a starting guard and the back-up has already entered the portal too.

    They like for there guards to shoot and that isnt really Hunters strength.

    Not saying it wont happen because well, its Creighton but I think stylistically they arent a great match up.

    Isaac traudt officially in the portal...we'll have to back up the brinks truck for him...I'm curious what the pitch is to these portal guys...

    Get his GF to transfer?

     

    I think our only shot is if the rumors of Greg not being happy and him maybe looking elsewhere... 

     

    Maybe if a huge NIL deal showed up, but I think he is Creighton bound.

    UGA/USC race him and dad doing a solid for DONU

    I do think at the end of the day, it probably ends up one of those two, but I dont think he is playing Nebraska.

     

    I assume he grew up a Nebraska fan, and always wanted to play here. He now has to make a tough decision on what will set him up for the best future success.

     

    If Nebraska suddenly starts winning games or if they feel like Rhule is the guy, he might take the risk.

     

    But I would bet he is still strongly considering Nebraska.

    As someone who watched that entire Creighton/SDSU game heck yeah I thought that was a chincy call at the end.  I didn't think it affected his shot either as some were trying to say.  The state of refereeing isn't what it used to be but that's across all sports imo. 

     

     

     

    I mean its hard to tell but his body does lurch forward and the shot comes off funny. It is obvious it isnt blocked, so either he tried to sell it or the push was enough to change the trajectory of the shot---therefore a foul.

     

    I can understand why Blue Jay fans would be livid but I dont think it was an obvious missed call but certainly dont think that type of call has been made in the past. 

     

    Pretty brutal way to lose.. Which I enjoyed.

    I think that’s my State Farm agent.  Great dude.

    This joke is high level because the tie is even state farm colors... He didnt go progressive or Geico, he went for the detailed joke. 

     

    Clearly a dad.

    Not being a smartass but do you really think a guy like Sallis has a lot better NIL opportunities at Gonzaga than he'd have here?

    Yes. I think he probably does since all they have is basketball and I think most of our NIL money goes to football.

    I also think we would need to pay more than others since we are less likely to be good.
