With Nebrasketball missing the NCAA Tournament, it’s time to once again evaluate what a proper expectation should be for the program Mar 11, 2025

Show notes

-We did this a few weeks ago when things were doing the right direction for Nebraska, looking as though they’d make a 2^nd straight NCAA Tournament for the first time since the mid ‘90s…and now that’s not the case

-We asked if making it 5 out of 10 years was fair—with a program now that has made it 2 times since 1998, which is completely unacceptable. This doesn’t have to be impossible…what’s the absolute lowest standard to accept?

Forget the talk about firing Fred Hoiberg….are we sure he WANTS to come back next year? Mar 10, 2025

Show notes

-This year was a roller coaster and one where it seemed apparent most of the season that Nebraska made some serious mistakes in NIL and the portal…where they will be headed next season in an even bigger fashion

-Nebraska returned its 2 best players from last year’s NCAA Tournament team and regressed, although it wasn’t a full regression the whole season---just an epic collapse. Are we sure Fred will want to do this all over again?
