Early Break – 93.7 The Ticket KNTK

Latest Episodes:

When a team gets hot late in the season, can you accept it as a strong finish or lament other parts of the season that made you fall short? Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

-In this scenario, it’s a team like Nebraska, who is playing great basketball late in the season, but the best they can probably do is make the NIT. The NCAA Tournament is the main goal every year, but it’s going to take a miracle for Nebraska to get there -So…can Nebraska fans be happy with how they’ve ended the year and got to what the preseason goal was, or do you play the ‘what if?’ game regarding a couple rough stretches of the year? How pumped are we for Sunday's 1 pm regular season finale at Iowa? The Hawkeyes are rolling, as they knocked off No. 15 Indiana on the road 90-68 Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING

Fred Hoiberg will be back next season…has he done enough this year to believe there’s a chance Nebraska could be an upper-half team in the league going forward? Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

-It had to be a very humbling few years for Hoiberg as he endured epic losing and the worst records Nebraska basketball has ever seen. It also had to be nice to see some sort of success this year, despite not being exactly where you want to be---yet

-Has Hoiberg’s change of approach this year given you hope he can still be a coach that can get Nebraska somewhat consistently in the upper-half of the conference or is that still far away?

We have a handshake feud in Major League Baseball…welcome to Spring Training! Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

-Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol says umpire C.B. Bucknor has “zero class” after refusing a handshake before a recent Spring Training game. Marmol also told Bucknor last season in an August game that he “should retire” for how bad he was at calling balls and strikes that game. He, of course, was ejected.

There are bad starts to seasons….and then there are BADDDDDD starts to seasons Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

-Northwestern baseball is 0-6 to begin the season, but that’s not the worst news: on Monday, their pitching coach, hitting coach AND director of operations all stepped away from the program…what a big steamy mess that is. All that remains on staff is the head coach (Jim Foster) and one volunteer

-Imagine if that happened on a football team after a rough start and you just had assistant coaches who quit the program?

It’s Senior Night for Nebrasketball at PBA…can the Huskers extend their win streak to 5 games and continue a postseason push? Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

-It’s Nebraska/Michigan State tonight at 8pm at PBA, in what will surely be a packed house and a loud atmosphere. Tom Izzo said Monday that Nebraska is playing as well right now as anyone in the conference and knows it will be a tough test

-It’s also Senior Night, and many people were bummed to see Keisei Tominaga in the group of players who will be walking for Senior Night---though it doesn’t guarantee he’s not back next year. But, if that is the case…it would be a huge bummer for what next year could be

-Is Tominaga ready for the NBA? Ultimately, that is his goal, plus his fast-paced game could transition well. In addition, he has his name among Purdue's Zach Edey and Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis for a scoring statistic in the month of February

-Sip makes another prediction for Nebrasketball tonight
