Maybe this has already been brought up, but do our players wear man-bras?

It’s a Catapult Athlete Monitoring Vest, also used in the NFL, NBA, and soccer. It holds a GPS pod and heart rate sensors, tracking speed, distance, exertion, and patterns to optimize training and prevent injuries. I believe they use them with all our athletes.

Who should opposing teams focus on to stop Nebraska? Answer: everyone. This team is a multi-faceted monster.
I’ve said for years that we needed 3 guys on the floor who could shoot from 3. Now Fred at times has 5 guys on the floor who can shoot it and one of them is Mast. We can have 2 starters have an off night and still beat good teams. Sadly, I think we lose Frager and Sandfort to the NBA along with Mast. Lawrence and Sam graduate as well. But hey, Jacobsen will be back.

Berke and Garcia should have a 3-point shootout. Loser never takes another 3 again.
Totally agree with Garcia. He should NEVER be more than 2 feet away from the paint. He also got burned on several dribble-drives on D near the free throw line. Needs to stay under the hoop for O and D rebounds.

He’s graduating too. Needs to get as many shots up as he can…..

ESPN has Sandfort as the number 87 prospect for the 2026 draft. The Atlantic has him at 63. Frager is not ranked in the top 100.

Id be more worried about losing them in the portal than to the NBA.

Sandfort is projected 2nd round to not drafted. I would think his decision depends on an analysis and an eye as to how deep the entry group is. I can't find info on Frager. Dude is a freshman and likely not a one and done, but clearly has the potential to be a scoring monster.

Hopefully we can pay em what they’re worth cuz we lose basically everybody else who is a major contributor. One of the problems with getting old as a team.

Lets give the credit where it belongs, coach Hoiberg came to Nebraska and had to adjust his style which he did and now you see the results. At one point there were many Nebraska fans that wanted Hoiberg out, you don't hear from them now. I'm not a big basketball fan but I'm a fan of Nebraska football and the athletic program.

I remember there was a poll at one time asking who would win a BIG championship first, Rhule or Hoiberg I wish I kept the results. Now the trick is to keep coach Hoiberg here at Nebraska because schools will come calling. Yes the team is playing well because they play as a whole unit not a bunch of individuals, thanks to coach Hoiberg.

Let's just get that tournament victory this year then. Maybe a Sweet 16 / Elite 8 run!

14 regular season games remaining, plus a conference tourney, and the NCAA tourney. A lot of you all are talking about losing players for next year. Enjoy the ride man; enjoy the here and now. One game at a time. These guys are damn good.

Oh and of course ESPN is hanging their hat on the one remaining undefeated SEC school (Vanderbilt). They had ZERO articles about Nebraska's 16-point comeback win at IU. Their pride and joy, Kentucky, is sh!tt!ng the bed and their other SEC darlings average 5 losses.

I think for SURE Frager and Sandfort will be back. The NIL money will be good and they won't get drafted high enough to warrant leaving. I'm sure they already have bagmen in their ears but I think the loyalty to Fred is real.

I could NOT agree more! This very well might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience as a Nebraska basketball fan. I'm going to enjoy every single minute of it. Soak it up and don't look ahead.

Just a reality check.
