The youth excuse in basketball really doesn't carry much weight with me. There are a lot of young teams that do well or better than NU. Hell, Iowa is younger than Nebraska and has continued to get better as the season has gone on and is sitting with a winning record in conference and is looking at an NIT bid with a possible outside shot at an NCAA bid.
If you are talking about All-Time record Nebraska isn't one of the worst basketball programs in the country of the 351 teams.
Nebraska has a 0.527 winning pct which isn't world astounding but there are plenty of Div1 programs that are much worse than Nebraska and plenty below 0.500.
NCAA tournament 0-7- is the worse in the country.
NIT tournament 21-16 with one NIT tournament championship.
Looks like we weren't the only team that screwed up losing to Rutgers on the road.
If Nebraska beats Michigan tomorrow they get the 10th seed.
And Illinois will be in the market for a new coach. Right now, if it does open, it probably ranks as the top gig.
That's why I said what I did. Ohio State will be the top gig if they part ways with Matta.

I would put Indiana as the top gig if they can Crean...I would have OSU second. Georgetown could be interesting but I have a hard time figuring out where they might fall on the list.
Shit, forgot about them, doh was that a mistake. So there's a chance 4 or 5 B1G schools will have a coaching search, yikes.
So the 14th-place team that beat NU upset the 9th-place team that boatraced NU in Lincoln?
Whew! I was starting to have my doubts about this team.
Well, yesterday has proven that Miles is not just guiding a ship that is taking on water, he is steering one that is already at the bottom of the ocean.
Just to think, Husker fans were wanting John Gross to be the coach when TM was hired. Looks like both were failures.
Even by Nebraska basketball standards, this is pretty low.
As Clark W Griswold would say...."Worse?How could it get any worse? We are at the threshold of hell."

IMO after watching the last 4 games, this team is lost. It has no direction and has quit. Miles is sinking faster that the Titanic.
I disagree. Who else are we going to get?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Just kidding

Seriously doubt Eichorst has enough balls to fire him at this point. Nor, did he likely keep Miles around assuming he would turn things around. That's just delusional.
Miles should come back to see what he can do with all the young talent.
So he should fire him because a 6-7 post that can't shoot, dribble or defend B1G 5s decides to transfer? Miles has one more year and a marginal post player leaving is not going to change that. Nearly half of all D-1 players transfer at least once during their collegiate careers and this board is losing its mind over an average at best player leaving.
Again, I bet that player would not be average had he gone somewhere else in the first place. Somewhere where maybe he'd have a decent big player to go against in practice everyday. Somewhere where the offense isn't damn near non-existent.
Bullsh##. He can't dribble or shoot and that isn't going to change. I wish he would have stayed to give us bench minutes but he isn't a B1G caliber starting center. Jordy isn't good enough for practice? The better question is how did Jordy improve during the year so much with only Ed trying to guard him in practice?
Was Jordy here his freshman year? Who was?
Time will tell. His chances are better anywhere else but in Lincoln as long as this staff is here.
I've got news for you. A different practice center wasn't going to help Ed's shooting and dribbling or his ability to guard a guy that he's giving up 4-5 inches to.
Did you ever think that he had a hard time because the outside shooters couldn't hit water falling off the titanic in this offense, so the defense could focus on the inside?
Oh and he shot 63% as a freshman. Jordy, 44%. No AW3 this year, Marrrow's % went down. Wonder why?
Ed shot 63% shooting bunnies around the bucket. What did he do this year? How many shots did he have blocked? Jordy steadily improved his shooting this season but he's big enough that he doesn't have to be able to shoot from outside of 10 feet. I'm done with this. Jordy has 5 times the potential of Ed...at least. IF I'm starting a team and could only take 5 guys off of this last year's roster, Ed Morrow wouldn't be on it.

I look forward to Jordy playing 40 minutes a game next year.
Exactly why I said that I wished Ed would stay to give us energy minutes off the bench. He doesn't want to come off the bench so he's leaving. Good bye and good luck.
Just in case Watson is next, I just want to make sure we are on the same page here....so is Watson a marginal player also.... or is he one of the bright young talents that we need to keep Miles around for?
I don't deal in negative hypotheticals BUT IF Watson were to leave, unlike Ed, he would be tough to replace.
Miles better turn off the "stamina mode" on his video game next year. Jordy is going to look like a Boston Marathon Winner.
If Watson is next there will be a perfectly logical explanation for why he's leaving, bleated 5,000 times as if it's a cold, hard fact and if you haters don't believe it then you just have a sinister agenda and blame Miles for everything.
IF Watson would leave then that's a problem. 2 guys leaving for playing time and 1 guy leaving because he's losing minutes at the 5 and thinks he can play the 3 or 4 even though he can't dribble or shoot...well that's different. Basically Ed is David Rivers except David was a better defender and could shoot it and dribble it a little bit.
Start the meter - Morrow's only leaving because he's losing minutes!!! It's a cold, hard fact and if we don't believe you, I'm sure you're prepared to repeat it over and over and over and over and over again until we all accept it as truth.
