I think Miles earned another year with their final surge which should put them back in the NIT. Note to Chris Collins: The Huskers went to a zone defense with length around the perimeter a la Syracuse. It was pretty effective. CCC did that against Minnesota last year at the Horizon and it worked. Don't know why we didn't see some of it this year, especially vs. Minnesota.

So a terribly disappointing year with an upset of Maryland gets him another year? Might as well start looking for your new coach now, because they got less coming back than NU. Delaying the inevitable.

Not sure how much he had to work with, which I know speaks to recruiting. He seems like one of the good guys in the profession; I'd like to see him back.

I should have said Miles MIGHT have earned another year and I agree that he has very little coming back. Palmer and Watson, both seniors, carried the team in that little streak. If Watson had played all season like he did in the final couple weeks, things might have been different, but in fairness, the injury to Copeland was a killer.

For the most part, our D was not the problem. And when you go zone, you weaken rebounding. O was the problem and putting in a zone D was unlikely to help that
