Stromboli Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 My in-laws are in town. Naturally I went to the gym for a break. I'm warming up on the basketball court and there's some 25 year old kid with man-**** on the free throw line practicing his behind the back pre-shot routine like Carsen. Nauseating. hsrtxp 1 Quote
Joe DeLow Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 And so in what way does this prove Nebraska is more serious than Indiana? Hoiberg was also just fired by the Bulls, so...I’m sure he’ll be a good coach. Nebraska is going to be a tough sell for anyone in my mind. We’ll see. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appAny coach was going to get fired with that Bulls team. Pitino got fired from the NBA too. Great coach. Cal got fired as well. Great coach. A college coach getting fired in the NBA doesn’t mean much when it comes to college basketball. Completely different worlds. Nebraska is ready to win in basketball. They are proving that. They felt they had a good enough team to easily make the NCAA tourney this year and ended up not being good. They obviously could have thought, “well this is Nebraska so this is the best we will do” but instead put on their big boy pants and went out to hire a coach who proved at Iowa State that he could win in the middle of nowhere with Transfers at a school that’s never done anything. People will have to give him a couple years. I don’t think Miles left Nebraska in a bad place when it comes to culture of hard work and hard play. I don’t think they will be great, but I think if Hoiberg is serious about being a great CBB coach, they can be a consistent 19+ win team. As of right now, Big Ten is open in the middle as to who can claim a spot as a consistent winner. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app johnsoniu and Iugradman 2 Quote

College basketball coaches and experts believe in Archie. I’m more inclined to trust their opinion than professional keyboardists.
