USC comes into the Vault as 6 point dog

Stick a fork in this season. There is no coming back at this point. Not many wins left on the schedule.

We didn’t know it at the time, but blowing the 15 point 2nd half lead at Iowa turned the page on what could have been a good season.
 
Berke and Williams handing the ball of 3 times while they're 10 feet apart is not good offense. I don't get it.
 
God damnit it takes THE OTHER TEAM for Brice to fvcking get the ball to someone else. Worst late possession team in basketball history and it can’t be close.
 
It's about time for Hoiberg to pull an Erstad and hit the eject button after the season. Tons of room for a graceful exit here.
 
Time to light a fire under that coaching hot seat. With NIL and all of his experience, it is ridiculous that all Fred could buy is a couple good players. In the three point era great guards are required and we have one very good one and bunch of “guys,” none of whom deserve to play a lot of minutes.
 
Tip of the cap to USC making the free throws down the stretch.
And once more Nebraska fails in the last possession of the game. Someone mentioned it on Sunday on how poor those situations go for us.

Yep the group he brought in this last year is the worst collection of players during his time here. Worster, other than being decent at ball handling what does he bring? Meah? Non-contributors
 
If we miss the conference tourney I say probably move on. It’s tough because we made the tourney just last season so it wouldn’t be shocking if he got another year. Our team looks as uninspiring as they did before the first game was played
 
Well, that’s all she wrote folks. We’re not making the tournament unless we have a miracle 2nd half of the season. We just don’t have enough scoring and our perimeter defense just continues to suck balls. We can’t even defend the 3 against teams that suck at shooting 3s. Just terrible…
 
Brice just isn't great at creating his own in iso. He's good at driving from within the offense.

And we just don’t have consistent 2nd and 3rd scores when the opponent shuts down Williams. Gary had a good game, but he’s not enough offensively and he totally disappeared down the stretch when we needed him most.
 
Crazy Fran will probably be available as a replacement at the seasons end.

dont you say that adam sandler GIF

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about this for awhile but really wanted to see several games against B1G opponents to confirm. It was the same shit last year we just had Tominaga and Mast and they lifted us to some key wins. After the aTm beating it was clear we were lacking elite/good backcourt (point guard specifically) play and we weren’t big enough and athletic enough at the wing position.

And while Fred brought in some guys and we got a marginally better at the post. We’re still weak at the same positions as last year, point and wing. We didn’t address our two biggest weaknesses and that’s on Fred.

Fred wasn't even a good coach last year. Kung Fu Curry carried him hard.
 
5/24 from the 3.

22/31 from inside the arc.

Stop taking that garbage shot if you can't make it. The point of basketball is to score more points than your opponent regardless of how much they're worth, especially when your opponent is forcing and bricking 3s gifting you possessions. Basketball isn't hard.
 
1996 NIT Champions was the pinnacle of this program. Glorious ending to a season that was completely dead in the water at one point. That could happen again this year.

2 Point guards who can't make anything other than layups is an issue.
