If we put an expectation of Nebrasketball making the NCAA Tournament 5 out of 10 years, is that fair or not? Feb 25, 2025

Show notes

-If Nebrasketball makes the Dance this year, it would be 2 straight years and the 9^th overall appearance in the history of the tournament

-That’s not good but let’s look ahead. In a 10 year stretch, is it fair to ask them to make it half of those years?

Indiana was projected in the Last Four IN for a Bracketology yesterday…if they make the tourney and win a game or 2, can they change their mind on Mike Woodson? Feb 25, 2025

Show notes

-Matt Painter was vocal after Purdue’s loss at Indiana on Sunday that Hoosier fans aren’t supportive enough of coaches or players—and with Woodson reportedly not coming back next year, that’s understandable

-Indiana hasn’t been great under Woodson, but what if he makes the Dance and wins a game or 2? Can you still move on from him?

-How was the crowd on a Monday night? The weather couldn’t be used as an excuse to keep people away…did the game come down to the wire?

We love Bill’s FSPs in the Fall but a decision by Missouri recently makes their future concerning / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

-When Missouri beat Alabama last week (110-98), Missouri head coach Dennis Gates went to the mic with 1.5 seconds left to tell the fans to NOT storm the court

-When he was asked why, he said, “We need that money for NIL.” Some might laugh that off, but he’s likely serious---and with the fines that hit college football for field stormings, their futures are in jeopardy!

Show notes

-Nebraska still is tracking toward an NCAA Tournament berth despite a blowout loss at Penn State, but a win tonight would go a long way to feel even better about the team’s chances

-Fred Hoiberg said he’s optimistic that Berke Buyuktencel will be able to play, and that would be very important for Nebraska in trying to slow down the bigs of Michigan
