OK. I need to relax. I need to just watch for entertainment, not with any real emotional investment. Same sh!#.different year.
Be satisfied with a 6 seed and round of 32. Again.

There’s no way you’re being serious. You don’t hand the other team go ahead free throws on the last possession of the game
He also got into the lane easily late. I thought he screwed up by not take a 5 footer and kicking out but it worked out better in the end for them getting that absolute last shot
I don’t care what anybody says… this team had TREMENDOUS fight to get back in it. Tomi, Ben… struggling all day… HUGE threes at the end of the game. That was a terrible call to give them two FTs with under a minute. Brad can go to the postgame and light em up, but this was not a lack of motivation problem.
Have to get better at limiting the threes once guys get going, no doubt. That last shot really not much else you could do. They shot the 3 out of their minds.

I have been a HUGE Brad supporter, even if it hasnt showed up on this board, where I dont post much. That said, I'm about ready to light the fire under his seat tonight. No way we should lose that game.
Yeah that’s a no brainer though, hoiberg is ten times the XnO coach. Dude coaches circles around underwood. Also….not sure what happened to out home court advantage. It used to be known as one of the toughest places to play. Now we can barely win there.
This team will be lucky to go .500 in the conference. No way are they a top 25 team. Not athletic. And the defense sucks.

It’s a pretty damning indictment of the fanbase that our neutral-court games have had more juice.
Nebraska is good... its a bad loss though.
There's some defensive stuff that I'm not sure how it gets fixed. Tomi, Z and Mirk are just too slow footed. Guys beat them off the dribble, or they have a need to sag so they dont get beat off the dribble...which opens the floor up for better shots.
I do give them credit for fighting back for sure.
We're going to win games in the Big10...I just dont know if our ceiling is as high as I want it to be.
- Andrej cannot shoot 3's any more. The form is bad, the percentage is bad. It's ugly.
- Wagler is the best player on the team and the gap will continue to grow
- I thought Kylan, for the most part was very good this game.
Brad...its on you. Figure it out and correct the ship.

Same story, different year. I guess it doesn’t matter as I’m not the one spending millions of $ on the roster or coaches contracts.
After what you've seen of our "defense" this year, you think we might only lose as few as 4 more games over the next 2 1/2 months? Bold prediction...
Yes, but you should win on your home court if you want to be “Elite.” Favored by what? 11.5?
They deserve to. Just like we deserved ruining their 400 consecutive football sellout game.
That's the type of game trent and damonte would refuse to lose

That's a little over the top. Not upset or overreacting really. Maybe actually read what I said about Brad. Pretty much a fact that if we can't protect the home court like we did in the past or in the way someone like Duke does, we will never be on that upper tier under Underwood.

Chill all. We played great. You can’t do much when a team shoots crazy like that. These games happen and you roll with the punches—-on to the next one.
To put things in perspective, Ben was brought in for defensive purposes late in this game.
Nothing against Ben. It just is telling about the build and structure of this team. Jake and Ben should never ever ever ever ever be on the court at the same time for a Big Ten or any high major program

Tomi has to still be hurt right? Nothing but standing around the perimeter and swinging passes. Hes definitely not making the impact most thought he would this year.
Dude Nebraska isn’t top 15, and even if they were, you should not lose a game like this. You were down 30-16 in the 1st half, and 61-51 midway thru the 2nd. No excuses for that at all.
Whenever we lose ANY game, our "fans" want a head on a stick. If we win, we're going to the Final Four.
You have to ignore the moronic comments and blame game after losing a really good basketball game.
Quick guards that can get passed defenders and make good passes get teams good shots. Our quickest didn't even see the floor for a minute. Lawrence and Sam hardly came off. Them getting in to the lane easier was the difference and leading to good looks was the difference to me.
Wouldn't be surprised if Mihailo left at the end of the semester. We struggled etting in the lane and passing the ball n BU refuses to even give him an opportunity. Make zero sense. We've seen this before from BU with Podz. He made BU look foolish in the first round next year. Mihailo is a mature uber quick experienced player and why bring him in to sit him he should be given at least a chance
