Nebraska BBall Program Now better than Us | |
As it pains me to say it. Nebraska bball is on the rise. I never thought the day would come when there bball program looked to be in better shape than ours. We just back to back losing seasons for the first time in 18 years. Nebraska just locked up another 18 win season while redshirting 4 scholarship players. With todays win over CU they will have 7 conference wins on the year. There should never be a year in which NU has a better bball team than us. This years team lacked talent, which we all know. But i'm not sure it didn't lack coaching as well. You look at some of our not so good teams since Johnny left. We still played tough at home and were able to pull off some upsets every now and then. And we never had back to back losing seasons. Call it rebuilding, call it whatever you want. Blame it on losing 8 players from 2 years ago, and rave about what McD was able to do to put together a makeshift class. I know this, Floyd never had back to back losing seasons even with the likes of Lee Love running the show. Eustachy never did it with the help of Tony Rampton. But somehow McD found a way. I love the guy to death, and really hope we find some success soon. But facts are facts. The guy has NEVER beat a ranked opponent. Some of the blame needs to fall directly on this coaching staff.
