....I like our draw in the Big 10 tourney....
I will TOTALLY regret saying this, but....
- Thread starter Spartanhusker
- Start date
We won't be one and done. More like two and through. Or two and ‘Que as they used to say in slow pitch.
I like our chances on Thursday better than I did over the weekend...
Purdue can do their dirty work on Iowa... I'd rather take my chances whether it's slim to none against Whisky.

I agree. This team is not good right now. Would love to see them come to play, but I see them struggling. But...if it's any consolation, we do have the best possible draw for us.
I've already booked my flight to Chicago for this weekend. I can't wait to see the Huskers hoist that trophy on Sunday.
Nebraska won't lose to Rutgers tonight. Not going to happen. Shields has too much leadership and game to let that happen. White appears to have regained his shooting touch against Northwestern. I think this team will come in with a clear mind.
However, I do want to raise a bit of a concern about Glynn Watson. He seemed to be the freshman that most fans were most excited about. I have seen his game go from average to less than average throughout the course of the season. I believe he has potential, but his shot is rough and I think he may have lost confidence. He is shooting 39% from the field, 29% from the 3 point line, and averaged just over 2 assists per game. If coaches give him sufficient training, it's not unreasonable that he could elevate his game considerably (see Buddy Hield - who drastically changed his jump shot from his early career to his senior season.)
Of the freshmen on the team, I actually hold the highest hope for Ed Morrow. He was playing against centers most of the season which is a horrible matchup. If Nebraska can land a legit big man, and Ed can play at his natural position (4), he will be an all B1G player. He shot 64% from the floor and averaged 3.4 rebounds per game in limited action (14 minutes per game).
I believe the future is bright for Nebraska, but it may be a couple years out.

Do you donate? Doesn't effect you one bit. The amount of foot stomping from Nebraska "fans" over coaches salaries is laughable. Especially considering they are the same ones who will turn around and say "pay so and so whatever it takes to get them here"
I know at this point with coaching salaries we are too far down the road to have any radical changes in how they are paid. I would however at some point like to see a coaches salary be a little more weighted to the performance base side, especially after they are say 4 years in and all of the players are their own recruits. Number of wins, final position in league, post season achievement. I realize there are bonuses built in, I do feel those bonuses could be a little more weighted in the total comp package. Maybe that is just me talking since I come from a sales/commission based career.
No need to make excuses for the team. They had plenty of flaws, but Watson dealt with an illness the last few weeks.
Thats a hell of drive from Chicago to Indianapolis where the games are ...have to think it would be much easier to just fly to Indy but you do you
