Vizsla1 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The basketball program will very different in the next 2-3 years. We will be a top 30 program. No doubt. I have had season tickets since 84, and I can say I feel the same excitement as when Danny Nee came here. His exit wasn't so hot, but I think Miles will be able to exceed our expectations. He has a good staff, new arena and the fans will turn out again. Quote Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Smooth shot by Sergej. First career bucket. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Smooth shot by Sergej. First career bucket. Why the heck hasn't he played all year? First hit a nice hook shot then a legit 18 foot fade away over his defender. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Sam Thompson has a highlight reel by himself up to this point in the season that will probably put NU's season highlights to shame. The kidhas insane hops Quote Link to comment

redout22 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 The slaughter fest is over! Still have a lot to learn and a lot of room to improve Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Observations: We actually did better than I thought. I figured a 40 pt difference. That's the key...low expectations. I don't think OSU is a top 10 team. They are top 20. Thomas is really really good. There were 3 really blatant travels that just leaves me shaking my head. Our spacing was good. Our shot selection, defense and hustle not so good. I agree we could use Webster, Hawkins, Fuller, Petteway, Pitchford and Biggs!!!! And Atewe!!!!!(hint, hint) Quote Link to comment

They went toe to toe with Duke IN Cameron and couldn't hit a shot vs Kansas in the second half. Two very good team early in the season. I think they are still trying to figure themselves out but at this point they can play with almost anyone in the country because they play great defense. Saying that....that really isn't the reason why I came to this thread... I think Jimmy Jackson had it right during the post game. Nebraska really needs to land a couple top 50 basketball players that are dynamic. It only takes a couple guys to change your program in basketball. Hopefully for Nebraska they can use their new facility to land a couple guys like that. Quote Link to comment

If you were curious according to ESPN recruiting rankings Nebraska landed the #19 SF, #26 SG and #29 PG this class. Not impressive for a place like OSU, but that group is considered the highest ranked bunch I can ever remember. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Smooth shot by Sergej. First career bucket. Why the heck hasn't he played all year? First hit a nice hook shot then a legit 18 foot fade away over his defender. I believe they were trying to redshirt him. To me, the fact that they pulled the "shirt" with just a few minutes left in this blowout says Almeida has an injury worse than we hoped. Quote Link to comment
WoodyHayes1951 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Bucks need a #2 scorer. Craft aint it. We need Lenzelle to be #3 at best. Amir is soft still. Shannon or Sam need to be #2 or we are in DEEP TROUBLE when we go to Champaign Quote Link to comment

Very rarely do schools here recruit for 1 and dones(2007 Runner Up OSU was one of the only ones). As long as they learn and stick around 4 years anything can happen. Quote Link to comment

He played 1 min in the first game of the year and 1 min against Creighton and 4 mins tonight. I have no idea what the RS requirements are so I don't know if minimal appearances would of mattered.
