People sh*tting all over this team for losing a tightly contested road game to a rival. Newsflash: we are not Duke, UConn, Kansas, etc where we are supposed to win every game.
This has been a really fun season and this team will go down as (possibly) the best in Nebraska history. Enjoy the ride.

No one discounts the reality of what is a GREAT season for Nebraska BB up to this point. The reality is they have hit a wall and playing some ugly ball right now. Not hitting threes exposes the rebounding weakness even more.

You would have to be drunk to enjoy winning 2 games out of the last 6. The “ride” is crashing, much like the football team does in the latter half of the season.
Not drunk. We’ve lost to Michigan (#1), Purdue, Illinois (who we also beat) and Iowa (rivalry on the road.)

Some of you act like we are the 95 Nebraska football team. Get some da*n perspective. I expect us to lose at 3 more games.

Don’t disagree.

Nebraska is a team that relies on shooters. We are not big and don’t play inside. We’ve known this all season. We’re also not very deep. Losing Connor didn’t help. There has to be a reason Fred doesn’t play Curtis. He would certainly help with adding some size. Maybe Fred doesn’t feel he adds to the makeup of this years team. But teams have either figured out how to defend us or we’re getting tired. Maybe both. Regardless, it’s been a great season. But moving forward, the teams lack of size is going to hurt if we don’t hit our shots. The good thing about the NCAAs is that those teams won’t know anything about us. Unfortunately, coming down the stretch and into the conference tournament, our conference does know us and know how to defend us. And it might cost us a top four bid, which would suck cause we could use the rest. But at this point, I’m greedy. I want to win them all.

I feel like NU has turned into a “live by the three, die by the three” team. In December, NU attempted less three’s than Illinois did and equaled their points in the paint in a road win that turned heads. Nebraska was playing clean basketball and limiting turnovers while creating high % shots.

The team has gotten careless with the ball over the past month and seems to have reverted to a less physical offensive style they ran in Hoiberg’s first couple years… barely hitting 50 is just sad.

I’ll man up and say it could be me. Tuned in and listened to the Michigan game…loss. Watched them play Northwestern and they played really sloppy but won. Watched them play Iowa…again very sloppy and they lost.

I’ll sit the rest out and check in the day after to see how they did from now on.

Or teams are playing better, after 20+ games together. We don't have a guy that can go get a bucket. Honestly, we peaked mid season or sooner.

I have seen parts of 4 games this year. Just 4. And we lost all 4 of them. I tried staying away but when my wife tuned into YouTube TV, it was on the channel that had the game. She asks "Is this live?".. I look up and i was like noooo.. We were losing by like 5 points with 14 mins to go. I told her.. Welp we're gonna lose this one, wanna bet?
We lost.

Anyone figure out why the students at Iowa kept chanting that they want to have sex with our shooting guard? It was mostly dudes, so typical I guess. They really hate JLaw as well apparently. But it is Iowa so it’s obvious why.

Do I support a coach smacking the phone out of the hands of some moron who is somewhere he has no place being?

ABSOLUTELY!
Can you imagine being such a delicate pansya$$ that your first thought is to post that video online, because big meanie Fred Hoiberg attacked a poor innocent college student?

My God - take a fistfull of Xanax and call your mommy.

Seems like people have figured out NU as the season goes. Hopefully we finish winning 4 of the next 5.

That is extension worthy in my book
It's funny that the fanbase who cried when their golden child in WBB got knocked down by a court storming student... how that student should be ticketed or banished from games because their golden child couldn't take someone bumping into her is now the fanbase that finds it OK to storm the court and shove a phone in the opposing coach's face while yelling some unintelligent iowa garbage and gets the camera shoved back out of said coach's face and cries for him to be sued and arrested and suspended.... I always say the best thing to come out of Iowa is I80

Teams have access to all the game film and coaches talk to each other. It appears to me that teams like Iowa are extending their D and denying the ball. Just watch how far out we are setting up our O. That does leave them vulnerable to the backside cuts which we have taken advantage of at times. We even move our big guys out past the three point line hoping to get Mast open or pull their defense out. The problem comes in that teams have killed is on the boards and many teams have a tall athletic kid who can defend and rebound if someone manages to get around the D. We also see when we are in D that teams use lots of lob passes inside and we leave openings with our help D which leads to open looks right under the basket.

Huskers' backdoor cut game needs to improve. Right now it's too slow and too many passes are telegraphed. Our other three players (besides the passer and cutter) also need to stay active in case help comes and cuts off the cutter's path to the hoop.

A lot of weird things there in Iowa city!! The typical Iowa male student loves dudes and sows.

Take your video over to the Iowa board if one even exists. Half our fan base doesn’t have a problem with Fred smashing a little hawk boy and the other half wishes it was you he smacked down.
Tell me little hawk man, when your uncle was touching you in your little private area were you feeling shame or just happy someone paid attention to you as you seem to seek out attention coming over to another teams board?

Not saying this is you, but this board seems full of people who don't watch basketball. Nobody is winning if they don't hit 3s. That is literally the basis of our entire scheme. Force the other team to take contested 3s, while we take open ones. The team that makes the most usually wins. It doesn't make any sense to try to become a team that using dribble drive penetration, pick and roll, or dominant rebounding. We are going to dribble-hand off, shoot 3s until our death. Hopefully at least the 2nd game of the tournament.
