Don’t think that was performance relatedHe did get benched. He's been locked in and money since.
I'm still laughing!Don’t think that was performance related
When teddy is off the entire team struggles. When he is on, only the rest of the team struggles.
Yeah, the scoop I got from my "source" in Lincoln was not exactly the type of thing you want your players to be involved in. Man I wonder if he'll ever wake up. Great offensive player but he clearly was hit or miss on defense last night. Had to be gassed.Don’t think that was performance related

He needed to be benched. You were right. Next up is Trey McGowens. Damn that kid has talent but he made some really bone headed plays last night. When you add them up, IF he hadn't made those stupid moves we would have won going away. Every game it seems like its a different guy making unforced errors that kill us.Oh boy I said we should bench him....

Iowa State is doing even worse than we are. He could jet if Prohm is fired. But I doubt Prohm is fired after one down year.I actually thought NU was primed to get their second win last night. I’m such an overly optimistic idiot.
Man, this team is a disaster. I wonder if Fred is looking for an escape hatch...
Iowa State fans have been unhappy with Prohm for several years. I think he's gone but it'll be interesting.Iowa State is doing even worse than we are. He could jet if Prohm is fired. But I doubt Prohm is fired after one down year.
his offensive issues are indeed from forcing shots. I like his dribble drives but not when it's in to 3 defenders and ends with throwing up a prayer. Needs to play smarter. Great talent. Damn he got a look at a 3 that last shot of the game. All you can ask in that situation.McGowens has the potential to be a pretty good player for the Huskers. Unfortunately, he tries to force things too much, which results in those boneheaded plays. Some of that is probably because he is the one player that needs to score (Teddy is clearly the #1 option) for us to have a chance at winning. We don't really have that #2 scoring option on a consistent basis. The rest of the team are OK at being supplemental scorers and are fairly interchangeable depending on who is hot for that particular game. I also wonder if there is some "sibling rivalry" in that he is the big brother and is trying to live up to the hype that Bryce is getting as a 5* recruit, which means he is forcing things as well.

And we still lost to one of the worst teams in the conference. But hey, kudos to Teddy Allen for getting some good tape out there for his next stop wherever and whenever that is.Oh boy I said we should bench him....
Agreed. I am trying to think of the difference between McGowens and Teddy, when both go to the hoop. The last several games, Teddy has made several nice dishes to players for an easy bucket when the opponent converges on him. That never seems to be the case with McGowens and he ends up forcing a shot over 3 opponents - or having to kick it out to 3-point range. Not sure if that is part of the offensive set when Teddy has the ball or they instinctively know to cut to the hoop? Maybe Teddy just has a better idea of where to go on his drives to create such a situation?
Absolutely not would I want Hoiberg to leave. Who would we get? Maybe Craig Smith from Utah State? Ill take Hoiberg for the next 5 years no questions asked over the field.Question:
So Hoiberg has clearly not shown much success in his first two seasons as the head man. If there was a way out with no cost to the athletic department for a buy-out, would you want to try someone new?
Is your answer the same when it comes to Frost in football?

It was a serious question because it’s hard to argue that there’s much a difference between Frost and Hoiberg so far. Both inherited pretty shitty teams. Both underperform in first two seasons. Let’s say Hoiberg puts up a similar record next year. How are they different? One gets a pass the other is “running the program in the ground”.Not sure if serious.....this is essentially year 1 for Hoiberg after having to construct a whole new roster, in metrics wise the best league in decades, during a pandemic.
Not to mention he has a 5 star coming in next year. Who would we get with his track record?
Let’s see where he is at this time next year. If we are still at the bottom of the BigTen then something is wrong.
As for Frost, I’d cut him loose after his fourth losing season
The offense and defense has shown a lot of progress, we are simply missing the play makers to capitalize on the open shots.Question:

To be fair, very few people were hard on Frost after year 2 either. Either way, they both suck and I think we'd be better off without either one of them.It was a serious question because it’s hard to argue that there’s much a difference between Frost and Hoiberg so far.

For the record, I want to give both guys 5 years to implement. It was mainly a question to understand why so many call for Frost to be removed but not Hoiberg.
Open shots? I must be missing something. Virtually every shot we take is contested. We're not getting guys nearly as open as teams with a legitimate inside threat do. We can't drive against teams with rim protectors like CocKburn and we can't make contested 3s. Bad combination...and oh yeah we can't shoot free throws worth a damn either.The offense and defense has shown a lot of progress, we are simply missing the play makers to capitalize on the open shots.
We have smoked countless layups. If Eduardo Andre becomes the player that he can be, that alone opens up the offense so much more. Plus then Walker wouldn't play center.Open shots?
