This team is loving playing with each other and for Fred.  
 

Fred finally has a team that is totally bought into what he wants to do. Plus, Fred has learned more how to use the talent he has. 

Its this and the coaching by the assistant coaches. Fred brought the guys who did it at ISU before he left for the NBA, but the college game had passed them by. They got good players, but they didn't have a good team where people knew their roles and played to them. I think the injuries to Gray and Bando are the cause because it put pressure on Keisei to figure things out on the offensive end and allowed Fred to maximize the players he had. I don't think we have the same team if there are no injuries. It'd be great if we could get those guys back now to plug into a rotation that has a better definition on the roles. Blaise is the big man that Nebraska has looked for forever. Walker is good, but he's a better 4 and works better without needing to cover the other teams biggest player.

I hope everyone who can come back, does for next year. Hope that the powers that be can work something out with NIL and international players. I want to watch one more year of Keisei.

Big comeback win

And fouls not being called on Nebraska. Walker should have fouled out. Griesel living on the edge. 

All these no calls are overcorrecting from the beginning of the 2nd half where a bunch of touch fouls were called on NU.

Lot of soft fouls on NU in the 2nd half.

He is 1,000% bringing Muchachos to O Town. Can't wait.

 

 

 

 

Do you know where?

That's Nick, owner of Muchachos, with Coleman in the second picture. 

 

Nick is an amazingly good dude. Makes amazing food.

 

He's working on his latte art.

 

 

 

He's supposedly bringing Muchachos to Omaha.

Was it the best one ever? lol

 

I don't like country so I didn't care for it. I also don't care for the national anthem at sporting events in general 

The national anthem should only be played when the national teams are playing. It should not be played before any and all collegiate or professional sports.

God Wisconsin is frustrating in how they play. They'll do little things and keep doing it until they get called on it by the refs (their defense against Keisei at times). Glad the team made adjustments, but man this team can be frustrating. It took them 5 minutes to get rid of the hole they dug. At this time, the team goes where Keisei does. If he's hitting shots and scoring points, then the offense runs effectively. Sam's too passive at times and Walker's a 4 playing as a 5. Keita worked well today because Wisconsin had two "bigs" and Keita could effectively guard his guy alone.

I hope we get one more year of Keisei, for all his faults on the defensive end, he's the most exciting player on the court.

Can't remember if I've posted this before, but who cares about his age. He's not the OC, he just needs to understand the offensive system, teach it and WR techniques to his room and he has 200k reasons to focus exclusively on learning everything he needs to know.

Was going to be a negative nelly, but happy for the win and how the team has had guys step up after the injuries.

If we keep everybody else in check, their hot shooter will miss some eventually. Solid defensive plan and pretty well executed so far.

Get what you're saying, but he has made 8 threes with only 2 misses the entire game. At some point, you just gotta have a guy on him. At 4, that's probably a good strategy, but at 8, something has to change.

Keisei with 30. Probably should be up 15-20, but for some reason we keep leaving the only guy hitting 3s wide open for Penn State.

On the flop call, the guy got hit, but then he embellished.

Under 4 first half and Sam is the only one playing on offense outside of the first 4 minutes where Maryland decided to not guard Walker in the paint. Through two games, you gotta ask why Sam wasn't taking either Wilcher or Keisei's minutes earlier in the year.

Keisei's going to end up with the Vault's most points scored record.

3 minutes in and it has a feeling its going to be one of those games with the refs being poor all around.

When you hang your hat on defense, and are so offensively challenged, and you don't even close out on your home court vs. 3's......

It's pretty tough to defend Hoiberg in year 4.....Trev may have to shift some focus and money onto a new basketball coach. 

With 8 minutes left in the game, the 2nd half has been like the opposite of the Iowa game. Sometimes the other team can just hit their shots. The thing that's worrying about this performance is the lack of urgency on the defensive glass. Maybe this is where Gary getting hurt is most felt.

Defense without Gary playing is like the offense without Walker playing. They're ok to alright when both can play, but can be absolutely atrocious without them.

It's not nothing, and it is a mess up by Biden's team, but I'm already sick of how it's being used as a talking point.

I didn't get to watch it either.  Good win.  But, wish we could have beat the worst team in the league by more than this in overtime.

 

Oh well, take the win and move on.

Would have won in regulation if there wasn't a god awful charge called on Walker. Same exact play that got their big man the 5th foul in Overtime. I'd say they were also throwing up a lot of stuff that was going in, but there were too many lapses on defense that it could simply mean playing on the road is really hard to do in the B1G.

I'd be more questioning if he was the OC. He's the WR coach hired after the most likely one was arrested for spousal abuse.

I have a difficult time believing Rhule made a good faith effort to get the best possible WR coach, and it just happened to be this child. Biggest assistant $$ pool in program history. Absolutely baffling hire.

Gotta think it was Mickey's until he created his legal troubles. This guy's the backup and it comes back to what Rhule said, he'd rather work with someone that fits with him over an all star name.

I have been critical of Breidenbach.  He still takes dumb shots but he really good tonight.

He's had 3 decent games in a row.

Don't know what everyone is complaining about with the McCaffrey foul on Griesel, he clearly threw his body into Griesel and was pushing him off his spot. If anything, it was probably called too late.

Think there’s a path for Rhules year 2 success to happen next year. As has been mentioned, NIL and the transfer portal makes it easier to flip a roster then when Rhule was at Temple or Baylor. Also, for as poorly as it’s appeared in Lincoln, it’s still in a better position than either of his previous college jobs. Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think a lot of the subpar success the last few years was due to poor coaching over poor players.
