Nebrasketball vs Iowa

[swmohusker]

I like hoiberg, but the players we are trying to win with isn’t going to get it done. Gary and Williams and that is all that are power 4 caliber. Keep hoiberg. Redirect any NIL money to football and just let the basketball team exist. That is about all it has done for eternity anyways.

The last 6 weeks of this season will go down as one of the most embarrassing mental meltdowns to piss away a season in the un-storied history of Nebraska basketball

i think being able to coach guys up would be a good thing to have at the head coaching position.

So much of this.

-coach them up

-scheme and gameplan

-recruit and/or select top talent

Im absolutely tired of people letting him slide.

Going from a projected 10-seed to out of the B1G tournament in a month is pretty ridiculous even for a middling program.

 

[The Murphinator]

Some of the guys he recruits are head scratching to me. Still haven't had a true center that actually has talent. Mast is more of a 4. And he can't find a competent point guard for some reason

Hoiberg can coach. Guys get better in his program. System can work. We need to pay for better players. Whole SEC used to be garbage in bball. They have put a boatload of money in it and now they can play. We either need to invest at a high level to bring in elite talent or put those resources to better use elsewhere. 
 

When we get teams in rotation and the ball hits anybody’s hands but Williams and Gary, we have to reset our offense at the top or watch a brick from whoever is not comfortable shooting an open jump shot. Disappointing to waste Williams bc he can ball.

I don't know, man. In today's NCAA maybe we can just blame the fans for not paying enough (regardless of sport). If that's gonna be the case, I'd prefer they just raise the ticket and memorabilia prices to the max (whatever that is) and not beg me for tips.

Not trying to point the finger at you. That line just struck a nerve.

i guess his 30% win percentage against B1G teams is the best we can hope for.

No. I get it. It is frustrating. It is hard to be highly competitive in multiple sports without pumping a lot of money into it. Spend 10 millions to buy out a coaches contract or pay that money to bring in better players.  I don’t pay a dime besides part of a YouTube tv subscription.
 

I also try not to ask to fire the coach when a team that has been bad forever has a bad season. I watch it and hope for the best. If it doesn’t happen it is on to the next season. Track team had some pretty good high jumpers.

We sell out games when there’s a chance to make the ncaa tournament.  If I recall we were “in” on several good players last year.  They didn’t choose NU.  That may have been money, but I think it’s more than that.

Mast is back next year.  I like the guy, but he’s slow.  Seeing a lot of “next year is going to be better” stuff.  Based upon what?  The previous 6 years.

On to year 7.  You take out last year and Hoiberg’s record is horrendous.  It’s bad even with last year.

How hard is it to be somewhat above average in multiple sports?  Seems tough for us.

 

[commando]

so....no B1G tourny.  no march madness.   do we make this new crown tourny thing?  or the NIT?   one last chance to choke again this year

Hoiberg said we would play in a tournament. I would think we’d be in line for an NIT invite.
