[Husker] No Basketball Comment

[Mike Jaixen]

When Husker hoops fans looked at this season, everyone realized they would struggle this season.  So finishing 8-8 is a great accomplishment when most pundits slotted them for 5.

The thing is, we got tempted by ohh-so-close finishes against teams like Oklahoma.  So a glass half-full person sees 8-8 as a sign of success.  A glass half-empty person wonders what might have been; a 10-6 record and maybe a first round bye in the Big XII tournament.  (Not that meant much this season, since three of the top four seeds lost their opening game yesterday...)

Doc has shown he can coach 'em up.  Now the question is whether he can put together a balanced roster.  He's been behind the eight ball so far in his time at Nebraska; I'm optimistic about where Doc can take this program.

I guess it is what it is.  Nebraska basketball, never changing, year after
year after year.  I have followed Nebraska basketball for 55 years and it
never changes.
Other teams get new coaches and charge right to the upper echelons of the
Big 12.  Nebraska gets new coaches and its more of the same forever and
ever.
Beside Nebraska fans have no idea other sports exist besides football.
