Basically this year, we were one basket made or missed from being in the NCAA tournament for one and done yet again. Personally, I believe we ought to try to set a goal of actually winning the NIT tournament and demonstrating to some folks that we are even worthy of being a bubble team. I believe we managed to win that one once back in the day.
Seriously, this IS Nebraska men's BB in a nutshell and always has been. If you took the 'who's who' of NU BB players of all time, I am not sure you could put together a 'final four' caliber team. I think the NCAA committee head from Creighton probably didn't want us anywhere near the tournament as Nebraska as a state needs 'only one' basketball program of note.
