Imagine thinking a cowardly noncon is at all defensible
It does zero good and fools exactly nobody
St Mary’s isn’t a traditional power. Just so happens this year they are decent. Many don’t consider the big east a power conference (I do) so it could be viewed as no games against a power conference team. Big ten schedule is tough and we needed to rack up wins in non-con against cup cakes. And we did. Where it has gone wrong is losing to teams in the bottom of big ten. Don’t lose to Minnesota Penn State or Iowa and everything would be fine.
Compare to Creighton, the Big East has what, 10 teams? They have to load up non-con and they do: Nebraska, San Diego State, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Kansas, and Alabama just this year.
How dare he criticize the non-conference schedule!
Would be much better to squeal at Fred for not ordering his team to foul when up by one point. That would show some real basketball knowledge.
Fred’s teams here seem to fail most times it comes down to final possession to determine the outcome. Before anyone jumps on my back about it I say most times not everytime. Fred is who he is….no better than Tim Miles at this point. Miles didn’t have the pathetic first 3 years that Fred did but he was fired for not doing enough. So do we take the chance again and start over or just live with Fred let him coach another 15 years here and hope maybe some year it’s a great season?
I'm not calling for Fred to be fired. I think he's an overrated coach, but I wouldn't be quick to can him and eat his very formidable contract.
But if Nebraska wants to get better as a program and actually join the 21st century when it comes to building an NCAA tournament resume, they need to challenge themselves in the non-conference.
Fred should have been fired after the worst 3 years in the program’s history. Horrible decision not to.
Since the B1G has went to 18 new lose a game against the ACC conference which was played earlier in the non conference season.
It’s not as if we haven’t played KU and Oklahoma St in past years, but go ahead and rub top kong nuts.
Yes the AD set the expectations and if you survive a pair of 7 win and a 10 win season then he is set for life.
play Kansas, Texas, Arizona, or someone like that. Couple of them a year. Win and it’s a big boost to NCAA chances. Lose and is it any different than a win over Southern U is worth?
I see no evidence that Fred will have a team that can play consistently at a high level.
