B1G Tourney Thread

And that's why he played in the Summit League for 4 years and couldn't get a scholarship offer to our piss poor excuse of a program until he was a 24 year old senior. Griesel cost them the game and the NIT tonight.
terrible take

Shitty defense in the first half was costly. Play solid defense for 40 minutes instead of 15, you win this game.

Griesel sucks but Fred should have called a timeout before Griesel drove into inevitable trouble.
 
Those were two amazingly f*^ked up calls that will again cost us the game. Those calls smacked of the refs just looking to call anything on the Huskers in those possessions
like another poster said, it wasn't just those, it was the foul on the 3 as the shot clock expired & it was his kid's foul 80 feet from the hoop that made the difference

losers lose & fred's a tremendous loser
 
Fred needs to be let go.. most of the players are done ... time to start new... horrible loss
Yeah, I'm out on Fred. You can't play that bad in post season play to an 8-21 team. Their only good player fouled out 5 minutes into the 2nd half. Griesel drove the team into the ground tonight. Fred's gotta go.

Cursed program. Just get rid of it.


Every time nebraska basketball gets your hopes up for any reason they lose in inexplicable ways to inexplicable teams. They always have and they always will.

Yea I mean when it’s one possession you can blame any one play for the loss. Refs had two of em, of which we can do nothing about. We got some calls our way too though. Ultimately it was that the ball stopped moving for us in the second half. Not sure how Fred doesn’t get that fixed at SOME point during an entire half.
 
I'll blame Fred all day for taking 4 years to figure out anything in the B1G. If he were to be fired I wouldn't blink. But that ain't happening, and had this flawed group playing their asses off. Minnesota played their best game of the year and this result doesn't surprise anyone that was actually paying attention. Looking forward to the next game.

you mean during an entire tenure?

posts like these are why psychology is so interesting.
 
Minnesota had abnormally great shooting today. The Nebraska curse. They hadn't shot nearly that well all season.
Yeah but the defensive effort in the first half was crap. Cooper could just feed it to anyone he wanted like a QB in a 7 on 7 drill. Finally started playing D about 5 minutes into the second half.

Good god I hope that wasn’t their best game of the year. They played “ok” defense but we made it easy for them in the second half. I’ve never seen so many passes thrown 3 feet over a guy’s head, not even in my rec league. They’re terrible.
 
It had been clicking the past month more often than not. Offense looked great against Iowa.

Looks good when Sam is hitting 3s. He made a few plays down the stretch but overall missed too many bunnies and all of his wide open 3s.

That said, he went 4-0 against Iowa, Creighton, and Wisconsin. Not too many guys can say that.
 
It's not just the last turnover but with 2 seconds left he has his back to the rim. I'm not even sure he would have got a shot off and by then it's too late to pass. Just top to bottom incompetence in the end.
 
I can't believe this year's been good enough for some (most?)

fred's a disgrace. he is incredibly lucky moos extended him because he hasn't earned shit

This is the best Nebrasketball team I've ever watched! Do we have some sort of winning basketball tradition I'm not aware of? Makes it harder to recruit the better players.

Fred built this team after losing 2 starters! He's building something here. Just needs to recruit a legitimate center/inside game. Even so, we were able to free up some guys in the paint for easy baskets.

Loved the ball movement and the defense was also good considering we usually have 1-2 smaller guys on the court.

I think we should receive a NIT bid. This team is fun to watch!

you're either 7 years old or you haven't been watching much NU hoops
 
Many? There were fans that wanted to keep him? Fred's incompetence is the only thing that could make Miles look good by comparison. We need better than either one of them.
When was the last time we had a coach that was consistently successful?
