    Frager, Sandfort, Jacobsen, Essegian and Curtis returning

    Sorry, I don't agree, the few times that I did see him play he looked uneasy despite the fact he did make two buckets at Michigan. Regarding his weight as compared to Mara that may well be true but the problem with at comparison is the space between the ears and understanding not just what to...

    Frager, Sandfort, Jacobsen, Essegian and Curtis returning

    Let's hope the we can pull a few more players via the portal that can bang inside otherwise we'll be in a little trouble. Berke couldn't be counted on to score much most nights but at least he would hold his own fighting for the rebound. As for Leo, the staff had better be shadowing that kid...

    Berke Enters Portal

    Who knows what his NIL value is but hopefully they can work out something that he'll be happy with. I would say this, he may not find too many teams out there that are willing to pay a hugh amount of money for someone that does shoot the ball well outside of the paint. He would do well to...

    Hoiskers enter Sweet 16 as 1.5 favorites over the Herkeys

    True, my only issue with Lawrence is his reluctance to drive into the lane and take a few more shots.

    Hoiskers enter Sweet 16 as 1.5 favorites over the Herkeys

    Our inability to drive the lane plus poor shooting from Lawrence, Hoiberg and especially Berke just killed us. Assuming Berke returns, I would have him work with a shooting coach 16 hours a day 7 days a week. Right now he's an offensive liability when others can't get open or are just not...

    HS recruits. Hoiberg landed Taj D. Sam Orme, Damon W. Boden Kapke, Kadyn B, Trevan Leonhardt N the portal

    Hopefully the success of the program will open more doors. The thing that sticks out to me is our need for a "true" point guard and like most teams an experienced power forward who can get position/rebounds and score inside. I'm not sure what the NIL budget is but I would hope that they...

    4 Seed OkC

    The CBS crew stated that Troy was Tall AND physical. I have not watched them so I don't know.

    Quarterfinals: Hoiskers face Purdue as 3.5 underdog

    Based on body language, etc. it does not look like Purdue lost any sleep preparing for us while we looked tight from the get go. We don't match up well and when the officials allow them to play a jujutsu style of defense we are really in deep doodoo unless by some miracle we come out and shoot...

    Lou Holtz passes at 89

    Not sure Jason Peter would agree with most of the posts. If you have time read Jason's book "Hero of the Underground" and read about the recruiting of his younger brother Damian by ND/Lou.

    OT: Voter ID

    This should be very simple but as everybody know's in Politics it never is. The arguements against have never made any sense; "it will affect people of color, elderly, young voters more becasue they are less likely to possess the specific ID". Really? come on? Nobody buys that, besides if...

    9th Ranked Hoiskers travel to Rutgers as 12.5 favorite

    Fun to watch for sure. The Huskers are an older team, they understand Fred's offense so well, spacing, cuts, passing, teamwork, really hard to defend. I do worry about the lack of playing time by some of the bench players but Fred has his reasons I guess.

    Hoiskers drop down to 9th in the new AP poll

    It's been a nice run but our lack of height and limited depth is starting to get more exposed. Without much of an inside game you really put a lot of pressure on shooting the 3's well. It's worked so far, 20 wins is great, hopefully everyone gets healthy by the weekend and Mast can regain his...

    Hoiskers take their 23 game winning streak to the Barn as 5.5 favorites

    We're going to need to shoot lights out and hope we don't get into foul trouble. If we get into foul trouble, Fred will be forced to play some of those transfers that don't see any time on the court as it is now so I have my doubts that they can give us quality min. Unless Minn is hit with the...
