Michigan getting cooked in the boiler. Meanwhile Iowa is up by 6 over State Penn with 2:30 to go in the 1st half.

Ghost of Brad Davison shows up as Northwestern guy gets ejected for a knee to the jewels on a Michigan player. Didn’t look intentional but they said “by rule.” Must be the Davison rule.

That was a Gophers like loss by Kansas. Insane it even made it to a second OT.

Yes Sir. They really pissed that one away. Should have never went to the first OT. It certainly shouldn't have gone to the 2nd OT. Two of their top players (Harris & Mayo) messed up big time. Mayo twice on inbound plays. Disappointing to say the least.

How big of a disappointment has Storr been? His production is way down.
 







North Texas is currently 14-4 and 5-1 in conference play and currently a net ranking of 48. So our close loss to them is looking better by the week.

LOL.

The lengths some people will go to convince themselves this isn't a disaster is truly laughable.

North Texas State, FFS. Heh

Will Freddy be able to right the ship?

I don't know. I've always liked Fred and I have no desire to see him fired. However, he is the perfect example of how the usual suspects here talk rubbish when they claim that "No coach in the history of college basketball has been given a longer leash than Ben Johnson!"

Here's Fred's record at Nebraska:

2019-20NebraskaBig Ten725
2020-21NebraskaBig Ten720
2021-22NebraskaBig Ten1022
2022-23NebraskaBig Ten1616
2023-24NebraskaBig Ten2311
2024-25NebraskaBig Ten128

His first two years were worse than Ben Johson's first two. His third year was much worse than Ben Johnson's third year. Ben Johnson has a pretty fair chance of surpassing his 4th year. And let's be clear: Fred Hoiberg wasn't a "DEI hire."

Surpassing that 16 and 16 mark at this point would be difficult. What weighs in Fred's favor that does not for Ben is that Fred has a prior history of winning at this level.

I said several times that Fred should be fired after year 3. All Nebraska is doing is delaying the inevitable. The same goes for the Gophers as long as BJ is around.

There is no excuse for Nebraska to be that bad in basketball. They have great facilities and plenty of NIL.

Fair enough. I'll give you credit for being consistent.

I won't be angry if Ben Johnson is fired after this season but, depending upon how the rest of the season (and possible postseason) goes, he may have demonstrated some qualities that could make him more suitable for retention than his staunchest critics will admit.
