If you are a Husker fan all you need to worry about, if this is true, is all 10 pints of your blood rushing to your dong at one time. Don't worry about the NIT or dividing a locker or anything like that...just your dong. 3 4 Quote Link to comment

They're participating in a consolation tournament. The "loser's bracket", if you will. While I'm not totally on board with your comment, I see your point. This team has been playing for over a month knowing Miles is gone. They didn't make it into the NCAA and their lucky they made it into the NIT so Miles can coach at least one more game (probably a few more). Everyone knows the situation and, to be quite honest, it made them play better in the B1G tourney. I'm expecting it to do the same in the NIT. But, at the end fo the day, everyone knows the situation. Miles has a good attitude, considering the situation. Nobody should have this preconceived idea that if they win a few games, it's going to save his job. that's motivated the team so far. Hopefully it continues and makes it fun. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 This is a bigger hire than Frost. Everyone knew in the end Frost was the only one that the Skers wanted and I think most of us knew Moos would get him in the end. I bet most Husker fans did not think getting Fred would happen...but man this is huge. 3 Quote Link to comment

Hey, I hope they win the whole damn thing! And the run in the B1G tournament was a blast.... I agree that Miles couldn't of handled this any better. I am a big fan of Miles, the person. 3 Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I am very excited if it is Hoiberg, but this stuff bugs me. If you have your guy, let Miles go. Miles and his family has to hear this/see this. Let Miles move on and dont drag this out. Unless they have told Miles he is done and the NIT is his swan song to hang with the kids. What if they go and win the NIT? Are we going to expect Fred to just wait? 1 Quote Link to comment
