Fred and Co. have done a great job. Two seasons back it looked bleak... now he's entering Tim Miles/Danny Nee/Harry Good territory! THAT EVER-RARE TOURNEY BID!!
Fred's done a great job sticking with the hot hand this year, but running plays for Keisei late, when it's Lawrence who was their best guard tonight, doesn't make much sense. Williams' foul trouble really hurt them too... I don't think most of the calls against him were bad, either. He needs to stay on the court for this team to do anything in March.
Uneven scheduling and a poorly-performing out of conference Big Ten are hurting N here. Going to spend a lot of time rooting against everybody else on the bubble these next few weeks- good news on Texas A&M last night, bad on Pitt... it's unfortunate, but with even more teams next year, who you draw in conference and the metrics are going to determine the 68. (Take it outta their hands though and go 6-0, Huskers!!!!!!)
Slow defensive rotations, poor energy (Mast & Williams!!), great shooting by NW... and yes, another road loss. Need a PG, starting Williams there doesn't seem like the answer. (The other broken record, offensive rebounding, too...)
It's interesting that Williams from Rutgers is able to play now, while Ulis still sits. Don't know, for continuity purposes, if it's not better for Nebraska at this point anyway (if Rutgers wasn't having an awful season, prob. would've let Williams sit... though he could have eligibility issues). Need a good showing these next 2 games. (I'll be in the stands reppin' red at NW.)

A lot of guys on here who will be preferred walk-ons next year, it appears? (Koch, Ruggeroli, Taylor, etc...) And guys who prob. won't be back (IGC & Piper, for two). But yeah the scholarship # stuff is fascinating these days...
First win over #1 since 1982- so surreal! Would’ve swore one of those Kansas teams we beat were #1, during the Nee days/my time in school. The D made all the difference- love Williams’ stat line! Game balls to all! (Including Trev for his faith in Fred!)
