Sign me up. I was a hater after year three. Last year they started playing some ball, and now they are a very good team. Seems like Fred has his blueprint in place
We beat both Indiana and now Purdue. What a great year!
I didn't know that Rhule stormed the court. Pretty freaking special win!
Things aren’t always as black and white as we think. Nebraska has been a tough place to coach for a very long time. Hoiberg was a really good hire and our patience IMO is being rewarded. I think his players really like playing for him and that helps.
Nebraska is going to be the first 13-3 team with a win over the #1 team in the country, a win over Michigan State and a solid road win over a bubble team to not receive any votes for the Top 25. Just like when they broke records being the first ever 4 seed in the Big 10 to not make the Tournament... and being a 5 seed in the NIT. Let's not forget the hate
I saw Trev right in front of him
We have a really good player coming in next year in Nick Janowski. 4 star kid out of Pewaukee WI. Was the best player on his team last year and that team had Milan Momcilivic (scored the last 4 points tonight for Iowa State against Houston).
Nick is a gym rat kid. Great addition

Great win Skers. Fantastic win for coach. This is a fun team
Yeah but rankings don’t mean much anymore. Build your tournament resume and let someone else bask in the glow of being #24.
I’ll be one of those that apologize for being distraught with Hoiberg and the program after the early part of the season. I thought it was going to be more of the same. But it’s obvious Fred has assembled a better bunch of team player guys. And it’s showing. I purchased a month of peacock simply to watch the Chiefs play Saturday, but having it to watch this game may have been even better.
Very nice. My brother in-law is currently at med school at Mizzou and plays in a campus rec league. I’ve partied with him there. He’s got some game too as he handed Bol Bol one of his worst performances in high school. I’ll probably make it back to Columbia in the near future.
I think he graduated mid-season last year. But maybe he’s in grad school. Sharp guy, as I recall.
Fred really hit on the portal additions this year. I do think COVID hurt us maybe a little more than some other teams with better area recruiting bases.
It’s a nice combination of players. They all have flaws but play their asses off and don’t have big egos.
It's a miracle we got a coach with Hoiberg's resumé to coach this train-wreck of a program.
He messed up his first couple years here by letting Matt Abdelmassih do all of the recruiting and having too much influence. Once he got rid of that douche, things turned around.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but cutting Doc loose was another good move. I know people love Doc but he’s not a great coach and he was a crappy recruiter.
I agree 100%. Matt went after the wrong guys and it showed in selfish play and lack of teamwork
I was pissed after the Minnesota melt down, but Fred has been redeemed this evening.
Wilcher, Sam Hoiberg had a great game. Williams, Mast etc. Nobody had a bad game. Needed them all to play well.
I understand, but Minnesota is not as bad as people think 3-1 in Big 10 play and 12-3 overall. Not a bad loss IMO
This. His initial plan sucked, and wasted two years, stealing money with help from lazy-ass Moos. A nod to Trev Alberts for applying some pressure.
I think fans are more upset about the second half meltdown after having a large lead
We'd be rated in the Top 25 after this if we hadn't choked at Minnesota.
I'm going to be honest with you, we have a better resume even with that loss than some of the current Top 25 teams
