• 3:15
  Speaker 13: and we'll have a second episode out here on Monday
• 3:19
  Speaker 13: morning to talk about the USC game. Because it's basketball
• 3:24
  Speaker 13: season already. It feels like it flew By season officially
• 3:29
  Speaker 13: starts tomorrow as we open up against Western Georgia.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Don't know anything about them.
• 3:38
  Speaker 14: Don't need to know anything about them. That's all you
• 3:40
  Speaker 14: need to know.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I dope you're right, and it should be right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 13: Fred Hoiberg entering his seventh season at the helm of
• 3:53
  Speaker 13: the Big Red and in today's college landscape world, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 13: Mike Fred is the on and about every year he's
• 4:01
  Speaker 13: been here.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We have some new pieces to our roster. We do
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: have some returners, though I will say it might be
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know one of the highest return returning group
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that Hoiberg's had Nebraska.
• 4:16
  Speaker 14: I bet you're right. I think last year probably would
• 4:18
  Speaker 14: have been close two years ago. Maybe it was two
• 4:24
  Speaker 14: years ago. You're right, it's it's definitely up there though.
• 4:28
  Speaker 13: And what we lacked or seemed to lack last year
• 4:31
  Speaker 13: was shooting the ball on the perimeter was a big,
• 4:35
  Speaker 13: big thing. Our defense has come a long ways under
• 4:39
  Speaker 13: Nate Lenser as our defensive coach, and we still have
• 4:44
  Speaker 13: the no middle scheme where you know there. We'll we'll
• 4:50
  Speaker 13: talk about the pros and cons of that, I'm sure
• 4:52
  Speaker 13: throughout the year on how how that can help and
• 4:56
  Speaker 13: also cost you some points.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: But it really is going to come down to me
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: this year is do we have a stud that is
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: going to.
• 5:08
  Speaker 13: Step up for us to fill the Bryce Williams role.
• 5:13
  Speaker 13: I I don't know, Austin, how you feel about this. Oh,
• 5:18
  Speaker 13: by the way, that's not here. Kind of forgot about him.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, Bryce was I'm gonna say it, maybe the best
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Nebraska basketball player in our lifetime, which.
• 5:34
  Speaker 14: Is funny saying that because there are currently two Nebraska
• 5:37
  Speaker 14: basketball players actively on NBA rosters. Wow, I didn't even
• 5:47
  Speaker 14: think of it. You're probably right, though.
• 5:49
  Speaker 13: It's just the impact he had on the team itself.
• 5:53
  Speaker 13: It he just after losing him. That that's the That's
• 5:57
  Speaker 13: the concern I think going into this year year is
• 6:01
  Speaker 13: do we have someone or do we need someone to
• 6:04
  Speaker 13: step in and fill that role for us to have
• 6:07
  Speaker 13: a I'm gonna say a better year.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five and twenty six.
• 6:17
  Speaker 14: Well, so, like you said, last year, our shooting was
• 6:19
  Speaker 14: a problem. Are our offensive one? I guess before we talk,
• 6:28
  Speaker 14: just we have to remember where we ended last year.
• 6:31
  Speaker 14: Last year, So just to frame what happened last year
• 6:36
  Speaker 14: for those of you who don't remember, we looked like
• 6:38
  Speaker 14: we're going to be a tournament team, and then we
• 6:39
  Speaker 14: looked like we weren't going to be a tournament team,
• 6:41
  Speaker 14: and then we went on a run and beat like
• 6:43
  Speaker 14: three top twenty five teams and won like six of
• 6:46
  Speaker 14: eight and is like, oh, we're a lock to make
• 6:50
  Speaker 14: the tournament. And then we lost the last five and
• 6:53
  Speaker 14: we didn't even make the Big ten tournament. And then
• 6:55
  Speaker 14: we made it to the Crown Basketball Championship, which, for
• 6:59
  Speaker 14: the of you don't remember, was a brand new tournament
• 7:02
  Speaker 14: that isn't the n I T but was kind of
• 7:05
  Speaker 14: ballyhooed as a similar to the n I T. And
• 7:07
  Speaker 14: then we won that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 13: So thanks for thanks for recap, but I kind of
• 7:13
  Speaker 13: forgot I remembered, like the end of it. I do
• 7:17
  Speaker 13: kind of forget how it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Was all the way in, like all the way out,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: all the way back in, all the way back.
• 7:23
  Speaker 14: In, back out, and it wasn't even like it was like, Okay,
• 7:25
  Speaker 14: you guys are gonna make the tournament for sure. And
• 7:27
  Speaker 14: then we didn't even make the Big ten Tournament. We
• 7:29
  Speaker 14: freaking just pissed down our legs the end of the year.
• 7:33
  Speaker 14: So and then we won the Crown Tournament.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: So let's even rewind a little further.
• 7:39
  Speaker 13: Two years ago was our NCAA tournament birth where we.
• 7:44
  Speaker 14: Looked great and we're the higher seed. We had to
• 7:46
  Speaker 14: get a bad seeding and we come out and we
• 7:50
  Speaker 14: have the greatest four minutes of Nebraska basketball history. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 14: then we followed apart to Texas A and M.
• 7:58
  Speaker 13: So we feel like the way these seasons have ended
• 8:03
  Speaker 13: have been like good but also wanting more. That's a
• 8:09
  Speaker 13: good way of putting it. Especially like last year, it
• 8:12
  Speaker 13: was like the best we could do given that we
• 8:15
  Speaker 13: got in the crown, was to win the crown, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 13: we did that and that was awesome and I'm so
• 8:21
  Speaker 13: glad we did that and didn't just fold up as
• 8:23
  Speaker 13: a program and as a team. So given that's where
• 8:26
  Speaker 13: we're at, it's a very good finish. But we don't
• 8:30
  Speaker 13: want to be in the crown. We want to be
• 8:33
  Speaker 13: in the tournament and win a tournament game. And that's
• 8:37
  Speaker 13: what this team is after right now.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: That's the goal.
• 8:40
  Speaker 13: That is the expectation that I think keeps people excited
• 8:45
  Speaker 13: and wanting this program to move forward under Hoiberg and
• 8:51
  Speaker 13: the staff like and that's what we want.
• 8:53
  Speaker 14: I would not say Fred Hoiberg is on a hot
• 8:55
  Speaker 14: seat is you know, like I think, if we don't
• 9:00
  Speaker 14: make the tournament, it starts to warm up. But it
• 9:04
  Speaker 14: is they get year seven. First two years he only
• 9:07
  Speaker 14: won seven games or he won fourteen games total between
• 9:10
  Speaker 14: the first two years and they went ten and twenty
• 9:12
  Speaker 14: two five hundred, and then the two years after that
• 9:15
  Speaker 14: he won more twenty or more games. So I think,
• 9:20
  Speaker 14: you know what, I think our expectation is a six
• 9:23
  Speaker 14: hundred and more team for sure.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: But so I'm with you. I I was gonna save
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: this for the end and talk about Hoiberg. I don't
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 9:35
  Speaker 13: I don't think from a expectation progreation and the what
• 9:41
  Speaker 13: Troy Danam's thinking and the people that are making the decisions,
• 9:45
  Speaker 13: I don't think they're having Hoiberger on the hot seat
• 9:49
  Speaker 13: unless they don't go well this year.
• 9:52
  Speaker 14: It totally falls off the way. I mean, like if
• 9:55
  Speaker 14: it's like blow five hundred and it looks it looks.
• 9:58
  Speaker 13: Bad, which it shuts didn't happen. We'll get to the
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: schedule here in a little bit. I mean getting to
• 10:08
  Speaker 13: the tournament. I think it's very important now for Hoiburg
• 10:14
  Speaker 13: where he's at. I think more so in the last
• 10:16
  Speaker 13: few years and you made that comment, so I'm gonna
• 10:20
  Speaker 13: kind of follow that. It's obviously not an easy thing
• 10:22
  Speaker 13: to do. Well, maybe easier if they keep expanding it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 13: But I think that is important that we're not just
• 10:29
  Speaker 13: a stalemate twelve, you know, twelve to sixteen team in
• 10:35
  Speaker 13: the Big Ten, and every year, like I do, think there's.
• 10:38
  Speaker 14: Still I say, preseason ranks fourteen.
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: So so that I'm gonna like again, I think Hoyburg
• 10:47
  Speaker 13: last couple of years, we've obviously seen.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: The program move somewhere.
• 10:53
  Speaker 13: But now I'm gonna call this the year three of
• 10:55
  Speaker 13: the movie somewhere, like we need to we need to
• 10:59
  Speaker 13: see that next step now and otherwise it's gonna it's
• 11:03
  Speaker 13: just stale.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And and I'm gonna mention this too. He's getting paid.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know exactly where.
• 11:08
  Speaker 13: I know he's a top twenty paid coach in college
• 11:10
  Speaker 13: basketball right now. He's higher that he's in there. He
• 11:13
  Speaker 13: could be closer to ten. I don't know, but that's
• 11:16
  Speaker 13: saying something of what the expectation is here. And and
• 11:20
  Speaker 13: for me, as far as replacement coaches go, with Nebraska basketball,
• 11:24
  Speaker 13: there's not a history, there's not a it's an expectation, correct,
• 11:30
  Speaker 13: So for me, I do like I think this. I
• 11:32
  Speaker 13: think you gotta win an you gotta make a tournament
• 11:34
  Speaker 13: game and compete in it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: This year, I agree for me to for me to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: feel good about where it's going. And I think that
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: we can.
• 11:41
  Speaker 14: Yeh.
• 11:43
  Speaker 13: I also don't know that that's like a better than
• 11:45
  Speaker 13: a fifty to fifty odds though, I think that. I mean,
• 11:47
  Speaker 13: I think that's that you're flipping a coin and saying,
• 11:50
  Speaker 13: let's make a tournament game or not.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I think that's where I'm at.
• 11:52
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, I probably agree. I mean, there's you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 14: Wolford won how many games a couple of years ago
• 11:59
  Speaker 14: in the tournament, Like we can we we should be
• 12:01
  Speaker 14: better than Woolford. Yeah, I agree. I don't. This season,
• 12:08
  Speaker 14: the expectation is make the tournament, not necessarily win a
• 12:11
  Speaker 14: tournament game. I think. I mean as Nebraska basketball fans
• 12:15
  Speaker 14: are are the as far as a return to Glory
• 12:18
  Speaker 14: podcast or Nebraska basketball, it's more of a sniff glory
• 12:24
  Speaker 14: basket Nebraska basketball podcast.
• 12:29
  Speaker 13: But yes, anyway, and I don't I don't want this
• 12:35
  Speaker 13: to sound like it is. It's just we're speaking from
• 12:38
  Speaker 13: a general Husker fan. The expectation level is obviously a
• 12:41
  Speaker 13: lot low over basketball, but I also want to call
• 12:43
  Speaker 13: it out that maybe isn't isn't okay all the time?
• 12:46
  Speaker 13: I mean it is because we haven't had a history.
• 12:48
  Speaker 13: But I also I don't want to be stuck with
• 12:52
  Speaker 13: a coach longer than we need to.
• 12:54
  Speaker 14: If there's an open set, there's a difference between patients
• 12:57
  Speaker 14: and what's sort of like settling, you know, complacency. Yeah, complacent,
• 13:02
  Speaker 14: there you go, yes, like we're being patient or we're
• 13:04
  Speaker 14: being complacent. I think at this point we've been patient.
• 13:07
  Speaker 14: We've seen the improvement last year, it fell off the
• 13:10
  Speaker 14: wheels at the very end. If we don't see it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: This year, then then it becomes the complacent conversation.
• 13:16
  Speaker 13: Yes, and again whether that happened now this year, if
• 13:19
  Speaker 13: it falls off, I completely agree he's probably not staying.
• 13:24
  Speaker 13: But for myself, even if we don't make a tournament
• 13:27
  Speaker 13: game like, I think that conversation needs to get magnified
• 13:31
  Speaker 13: a lot, and I don't know if it will. That's
• 13:33
  Speaker 13: the unfortunate part. Well, but we'll have to see how
• 13:36
  Speaker 13: the season goes, right, I think we'll have to see
• 13:38
  Speaker 13: how some of these games look. I mean, are we
• 13:40
  Speaker 13: competitive in these Big ten games?
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Last year.
• 13:42
  Speaker 13: We were competitive in most all of our games. There
• 13:44
  Speaker 13: were a couple that got out of our hands, but
• 13:47
  Speaker 13: for the most part, you know, we're there, and.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I do think this is a big year for Hoiberg.
• 13:55
  Speaker 13: It's future in Nebraska for the music is simply the
• 13:58
  Speaker 13: fact that it's year seven. Like you don't you don't
• 14:00
  Speaker 13: get to be at a university, at a in basketball
• 14:03
  Speaker 13: or football for a lot of years unless you're having success.
• 14:06
  Speaker 13: And I would not say what we're having is ultimate success.
• 14:10
  Speaker 13: It's kind of improving, but it's not like we're for Nebraska.
• 14:13
  Speaker 13: Historically for Nebraska basketball, it's been success. But we're trying
• 14:17
  Speaker 13: to we're trying to not ye, trying to with that. Yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 13: we're trying to up that standard. Hoiberg's contract does go
• 14:23
  Speaker 13: through twenty twenty nine. Those are curious, so he does
• 14:29
  Speaker 13: have four three more years on his contract after this season.
• 14:33
  Speaker 13: Not that I'm talking firing things, just one day kind
• 14:38
  Speaker 13: of put where Tory Dannon's probably opinion is around him.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 14:43
  Speaker 14: Okay, now you go back current people who we left,
• 14:48
  Speaker 14: So you talked Bryce Williams, John Gary. Can't forget Dak's
• 14:51
  Speaker 14: favorite player, Jeffrey Grace never played Gavin Griffiths, Nick Jenelowski,
• 14:57
  Speaker 14: Braxton Me, Andrew Morgan, Aaron Ullis, Rolli Wooster. That's a
• 15:05
  Speaker 14: fair amount of production. Obviously, Bryce will even Joan Or
• 15:08
  Speaker 14: was kind of the engine that that field, that that
• 15:12
  Speaker 14: decent run there in the middle. But the rest of
• 15:18
  Speaker 14: those people, Andrew Morgan obviously have decent Rolly Wooster had
• 15:22
  Speaker 14: decent playing time in roles. But I think kind of
• 15:29
  Speaker 14: what our issue was last year was who was running
• 15:32
  Speaker 14: our offense, and we ended up running it through Bryce Williams,
• 15:36
  Speaker 14: who is very much in an attacking type of score
• 15:40
  Speaker 14: getting to the paint free throws.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Three level score for sure.
• 15:45
  Speaker 14: Yes, So I don't think we're necessarily going to replace
• 15:49
  Speaker 14: Bryce Williams as far as like the mold of a
• 15:53
  Speaker 14: wing that's going to be running our offense. I think
• 15:55
  Speaker 14: this year we're definitely going to have we'll talk about,
• 15:59
  Speaker 14: you know, our our current players, but will have more
• 16:02
  Speaker 14: of a traditional Sam Heiberg Sam Weiberg. We'll have a
• 16:07
  Speaker 14: traditional same traditional Fred Hoiberg offense where you have you know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 14: a point guard or a point forward running the offense
• 16:15
  Speaker 14: and a lot more ball movement than we did last year,
• 16:19
  Speaker 14: which is what we did two years ago when we
• 16:21
  Speaker 14: made the tournament, ball move was good. We had you know, Kaise,
• 16:25
  Speaker 14: very good scoring wing that we could just we were
• 16:28
  Speaker 14: just moving the ball really well. Then we had Rank
• 16:29
  Speaker 14: Mass who will talk about a little bit as well.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, let's just I mean rank. Rank is the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: key piece I think coming back.
• 16:42
  Speaker 13: He was here last year, didn't play because he was
• 16:45
  Speaker 13: injured and sat out the whole year, but stayed a
• 16:46
  Speaker 13: part of the team, which I think tells a lot
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: about his mindset and belief in this in this coaching staff.
• 16:56
  Speaker 13: He to me, is going to be the focal point
• 16:59
  Speaker 13: of this offense. And no he's not playing point guard,
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: but the offense will get ran through him. Again, I
• 17:04
  Speaker 13: think a lot, whether it be at the top of
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: the key or or inside. And I think that Rank
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: is a good enough player too to do that. He
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: shot it well against the Hyu, very very well.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Make seven threes, and.
• 17:24
  Speaker 14: To shoot I don't I honestly don't know all year
• 17:28
  Speaker 14: he's going to be putting up, you know whatever, eight threes.
• 17:31
  Speaker 14: I don't know how many atempts he's going to average
• 17:32
  Speaker 14: a game. I can't imagine it's gonna be more than five.
• 17:36
  Speaker 14: I could be wrong.
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: No, I agree, I don't think. I think that's kind
• 17:39
  Speaker 13: of like an outlier game hopefully not. But he he
• 17:44
  Speaker 13: is very much going to be leading our offense, I think.
• 17:48
  Speaker 14: But it is.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: It's not it's not your Bryce Williams kind of player.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: It's not a three level score type of player. He's
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: also a very good passer.
• 17:55
  Speaker 13: Don't forget that about rank like that was maybe the
• 17:58
  Speaker 13: best part of his game, uh two years ago. So
• 18:03
  Speaker 13: that's gonna be a big addition back leading point, it
• 18:09
  Speaker 13: is probably gonna be JaMarcus Lawrence. From what we've seen
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: and heard. He transferred for those of you, you know
• 18:15
  Speaker 13: from Rhode Island.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: You're transferred away and then transferred back. And and he.
• 18:25
  Speaker 13: I think is going to need to be that guard
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: that has the ball in his hands to create for
• 18:31
  Speaker 13: this offense when we need someone to create off the bounce.
• 18:34
  Speaker 13: I do think the offense is going to be very
• 18:37
  Speaker 13: more set based, action based versus running more of a
• 18:41
  Speaker 13: motion uh and and Jamark is going to be the
• 18:44
  Speaker 13: one that has to get us into those And also
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: when we need someone just to go create or try
• 18:50
  Speaker 13: to get a bucket, he's going to have to do that.
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: He showed signs of that in the exhibition games, which
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: was which was promising.
• 18:56
  Speaker 14: But he's going to be kind of to.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Me, the key guard.
• 18:59
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 19:00
  Speaker 13: Then after that, and this is how I'm viewing the team.
• 19:03
  Speaker 13: I'm viewing kind of those two. But then after that,
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: I just I see all these other guys as just
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: very very solid role players throughout the rest of our roster.
• 19:12
  Speaker 13: And when I say the rest of our roster, I
• 19:14
  Speaker 13: do think we are going to play, especially here in
• 19:17
  Speaker 13: the non conference. Eleven guys and those these other nine
• 19:21
  Speaker 13: guys I think are going to get a lot of
• 19:22
  Speaker 13: equal playing time. To see which lineups and which which
• 19:25
  Speaker 13: fits work the best must go through the guards here
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: some guys that returned from last year's team Connor season,
• 19:33
  Speaker 13: the sharp shooting guard that transfer from Wisconsin a couple
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: of years ago.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Uh, he is he is back kill. Jacobson, Uh started
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: the b y U game, didn't start the the.
• 19:47
  Speaker 14: Midland game.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: That was Sam Hoiberger that started that one.
• 19:51
  Speaker 13: But those two to me are very much the same
• 19:54
  Speaker 13: player in my mind, Like they're very similar in YE
• 20:00
  Speaker 13: three and I don't know, Crappy just a scrappy, scrappy,
• 20:06
  Speaker 13: pesty defenders and then.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Missing someone not in the guard side of things.
• 20:16
  Speaker 13: Uh in transfer guards incoming that we're gonna see time
• 20:20
  Speaker 13: Price Sandford.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I guess you'd call him a forward. He's he's a
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: length He's a lengthy dude.
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: Kendall Blue. Have you mentioned Kendall Blue?
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Nope?
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: And he's the other one, Yeah, Price Sandford from Iowa.
• 20:33
  Speaker 13: I'm calling him a guard because he's gonna play. I mean,
• 20:36
  Speaker 13: he's six seven like a Ford, but he's he's gonna
• 20:39
  Speaker 13: play on the perimeter.
• 20:40
  Speaker 14: He can shoot it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: And then Kendall Blue is the other one that we're
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: gonna see. He's also a very lengthy guard.
• 20:48
  Speaker 14: He's kind of a wing six six, shoots forty two
• 20:53
  Speaker 14: perind the arc.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: He's a lefty as well.
• 20:59
  Speaker 14: Man average twelve points for rebounds, two assists twenty seven minutes.
• 21:05
  Speaker 14: And then there's a freshman guard as well. But I
• 21:06
  Speaker 14: don't I don't think he'll play at all. Quentin Ryans correct. Yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a guy that, you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: scout team player there. So yeah, I think that's gonna be.
• 21:19
  Speaker 13: Our guard in the back court. And then the front court.
• 21:25
  Speaker 13: We mentioned Rank Bark is back. He's got he's got
• 21:31
  Speaker 13: a lot of hair this year.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: You haven't seen him yet.
• 21:35
  Speaker 13: You know, played transfer from u C l A two
• 21:37
  Speaker 13: years ago. I think he'll be a key piece. He'll
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: play a lot of minutes. I think my big thing
• 21:42
  Speaker 13: for bar K is is he going to be able
• 21:44
  Speaker 13: to defend at a high level inside and we you
• 21:48
  Speaker 13: know Rank obviously is going to do a lot of
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: that as well. But Bark to me's a little more
• 21:54
  Speaker 13: solid of the body and when we do play some
• 21:58
  Speaker 13: of these bigger posts in the Big ten, it's that's
• 22:01
  Speaker 13: gonna be his job.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: When Andrew Morgan and.
• 22:05
  Speaker 13: Brox and Mea were I mean they were very very
• 22:07
  Speaker 13: good at their roles last year of doing that, they
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: were not good offensively, neither one of them more Andrew
• 22:12
  Speaker 13: Morgan had his moments, but but they were They were
• 22:15
  Speaker 13: defenders and that's what helped last year's team. That's what
• 22:19
  Speaker 13: that's what is gonna have to do a lot more
• 22:21
  Speaker 13: this year.
• 22:22
  Speaker 14: Uh, He's gonna be better offensively for sure, I mean.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, and he's gonna have to step up. He's got
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: step up.
• 22:29
  Speaker 14: He played twenty minutes a game, he averaged six points
• 22:31
  Speaker 14: and shot forty from the field for a six foot
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: ten guy. That's terrible, Like you should at least be
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: shooting four free throws and above fifty percent when you're
• 22:41
  Speaker 14: playing that close to the room.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I agree, Ugnis Jersemissic.
• 22:51
  Speaker 14: How do I do? I don't know, but I was
• 22:52
  Speaker 14: gonna ask you how to say? Uh?
• 22:56
  Speaker 13: That Central Michigan transfer sixt eleven forty five from Lithuania. Man,
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: he did not play in the b YU game. I
• 23:06
  Speaker 13: don't believe which is the game I went to, But
• 23:09
  Speaker 13: so I didn't get to see him watch much. But
• 23:11
  Speaker 13: he'll be a guy that I'm guessing is going to
• 23:14
  Speaker 13: play a lot of that Braxton me a type of role.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 23:19
  Speaker 13: Jared Garcia is another one from Tulsa that transferred. He's
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: a senior grad transfer.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: He can shoot it. Yeah, who is who's the big, big,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: big dude, the seventh three dude?
• 23:34
  Speaker 14: Uh No, it's not on my roster.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Leo Curtis right, Curtis, Yeah he did, He didn't.
• 23:42
  Speaker 13: Chad GBT didn't have my roster, but I knew he
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: had a seven three guy and actually he can shoot
• 23:46
  Speaker 13: it too.
• 23:47
  Speaker 14: Freshman right, freshman.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Big, tall, long guy he plays in that BYU game.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I mean he's a giant. He looks like, you know who,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: he looks like. He looks like a Purdue boiler Maker, looks.
• 23:58
  Speaker 14: Like give more of those Predue boiler Makers on the team.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: And then last one to mention that, you know, maybe
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: he'll see some playing time. I wasn't expecting it, but.
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: I mean, if you shoot it as well as you
• 24:15
  Speaker 13: did against Midland, uh and Brandon Frager, thank he hit
• 24:20
  Speaker 13: six or seven threes in that game. Braden Frigger from
• 24:24
  Speaker 13: Lincoln Southwest freshman, I I, you know, I don't think
• 24:27
  Speaker 13: he'll probably see the court too much, but you never know.
• 24:29
  Speaker 13: I mean, he's he definitely looks the part as a
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: Division one athlete, doesn't look like a typical Lincoln Nebraska
• 24:40
  Speaker 13: like walk on type of player, so he might see
• 24:43
  Speaker 13: the court.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Never know, missing anybody.
• 24:49
  Speaker 14: I mean there's just a couple of bench people that
• 24:51
  Speaker 14: aren't you know, like those the Nebraska kids that are
• 24:54
  Speaker 14: on the roster but will never play. Yep, No, I
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: think that that's everyone that we're going to see play
• 25:01
  Speaker 14: this year. Seeming all goes well, I will like to.
• 25:06
  Speaker 14: I mean, just as we're kind of talking general roster
• 25:10
  Speaker 14: our overall size, we're pretty big this year. I mean
• 25:12
  Speaker 14: we were kind of last year we had we had
• 25:15
  Speaker 14: more top end height last year with Braxton b. But
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: I mean you run through the roster six six six eight,
• 25:24
  Speaker 14: six seven, six ten, sixty six seven to one six four, six, seven,
• 25:28
  Speaker 14: six eight sa FOI burg just gonna say that six four,
• 25:32
  Speaker 14: six eleven, sixty three, six ten, sixty six sixty seven.
• 25:34
  Speaker 14: So I mean we're we aren't. Our guards are big
• 25:41
  Speaker 14: and our bigs are on the smaller side of big,
• 25:43
  Speaker 14: but we're like consistent six seven to six ten.
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: That's definitely been a theme of spreads kind of roster
• 25:54
  Speaker 13: transformation over the past few years. We definitely went we
• 25:59
  Speaker 13: were very big well the two years ago making the
• 26:02
  Speaker 13: tournam but that team had some very sneaky length, but
• 26:05
  Speaker 13: where we were exposed was.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Defensively, which that.
• 26:12
  Speaker 13: That Texas A and M team just torched us with
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: their length until last year we went we went.
• 26:19
  Speaker 14: The Tech I'm not going Texan. They also had a
• 26:22
  Speaker 14: guy who had hit three three putters his entire career
• 26:24
  Speaker 14: make four that one time he was a senior or
• 26:28
  Speaker 14: something crazy.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: It's just like.
• 26:31
  Speaker 14: Whatever.
• 26:32
  Speaker 13: So that kind of did a complete like flip of
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: the mindset last year to where we got very very long,
• 26:38
  Speaker 13: but then we didn't get shooters.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And we lacked that. So now hopefully we have a
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: good balance this year heading into the year schedule. Let's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: look at that. Here we have I believe I counted
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: thirty one games or thirty games.
• 27:00
  Speaker 14: Four, Oh, it didn't even count how many?
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we have thirty games.
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: Here the projected record from teamerankings dot com, which I'd
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: like to use a lot, especially as you as look
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: at bracketology, they have us at sixteen zero point six wins.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: And thirteen point four losses.
• 27:22
  Speaker 13: That with a eight was it eight to eight to
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: twelve conference wins which we played twenty conference games, So
• 27:32
  Speaker 13: I mean, I think we've said it in the past.
• 27:35
  Speaker 13: Get above five hundred conference play and have a strong
• 27:41
  Speaker 13: non conference performance and you're gonna have a pretty good
• 27:44
  Speaker 13: shot at getting in the tournament. The non conferences here
• 27:50
  Speaker 13: pretty easy, pretty favorable. I chopped seven wins up just
• 27:56
  Speaker 13: looking at the schedule, and we probably shouldn't do that.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: But going to that, we can just.
• 28:01
  Speaker 14: Say, w we're winning those in those Western Georgia, Maryland,
• 28:07
  Speaker 14: Eastern New Mexico, Winthrop, UC Upstate, North Dakota, New Hampshire.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, there you go.
• 28:15
  Speaker 14: Boom.
• 28:16
  Speaker 13: The next non conference games here that are gonna be key.
• 28:22
  Speaker 13: I think we got to get I mean, I'm gonna
• 28:24
  Speaker 13: say two, if.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Not three of these for our goal here winning a
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: tournament game. We play Oklahoma here in a couple of weeks.
• 28:32
  Speaker 13: It's gonna come up quicker, and we think in soot
• 28:34
  Speaker 13: Falls it'll be a neutral site game. Oklahoma is preseason
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: ranked in some of the polls towards it towards the
• 28:42
  Speaker 13: twenty second ish that that'll be a good, tough neutral
• 28:47
  Speaker 13: site game here early in the year. Then that next
• 28:51
  Speaker 13: week we play in a Kansas City tournament where we
• 28:55
  Speaker 13: play New Mexico to open that and then win or lose,
• 29:00
  Speaker 13: we play Kansas State or Mississippi State in that non
• 29:04
  Speaker 13: conference game. And then lastly we have the annual Nebraska
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: Creighton matchup, which is in Lincoln this year, which.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Always is a is a bonus.
• 29:15
  Speaker 14: And then some rock powers.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I don't even rock powers.
• 29:20
  Speaker 14: I don't know what just happened. I have ESPN open
• 29:23
  Speaker 14: on one of these tabs, so something was to autoloaded.
• 29:29
  Speaker 13: So anyways, non conference schedule again very favorable. I do
• 29:33
  Speaker 13: like the approach I do think in today's world, and
• 29:35
  Speaker 13: no matter it's college football, college basketball, baseball, whatever you
• 29:40
  Speaker 13: want to talk about.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Easier schedule, always.
• 29:44
  Speaker 13: Wins look better than playing tough teams right now, that's
• 29:47
  Speaker 13: just the way that people evaluate comparisons. Like, if you
• 29:51
  Speaker 13: have more wins, it helps you out and obviously strict
• 29:54
  Speaker 13: the schedule and all that matters. But if you if
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: you can win, it puts you in a better spot.
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: Yeah. I mean, like I said, I don't only give
• 30:05
  Speaker 14: it us automatic w's, but it's pretty favorable. We do
• 30:09
  Speaker 14: have a tough stretch when it starts, because we hit Creighton, Wisconsin,
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: and Illinois back. I mean, those three in a row,
• 30:17
  Speaker 14: but the first two are at home, and I think
• 30:24
  Speaker 14: just having I mean just having those first, if we
• 30:27
  Speaker 14: could get through Oklahoma, I want to preface it. The
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: BYU win, I think is huge because it just kind
• 30:37
  Speaker 14: of starts the ball, even though it's just an exhibition game.
• 30:41
  Speaker 14: It's like, Okay, we're pretty good. We can keep up
• 30:43
  Speaker 14: with them, and so hopefully that carries in we go through.
• 30:46
  Speaker 14: We beat Oklahoma. So we start the season out. Let's
• 30:49
  Speaker 14: eave one, two, three, four, five, six, seven with you
• 30:53
  Speaker 14: know seven and oh going into Creighton. I at Creighton
• 30:57
  Speaker 14: at home, I just I think you feel pretty good.
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: And like you said, the wins are important. To make
• 31:03
  Speaker 14: the tournament, you probably have at least have at least
• 31:06
  Speaker 14: have to have twenty wins. Maybe probably yeah, twenty. I
• 31:10
  Speaker 14: feel like last year we didn't make it. We ended
• 31:14
  Speaker 14: the year, maybe not even twenty nineteen ish, but yeah,
• 31:19
  Speaker 14: if we win. So again, like you said, you win
• 31:22
  Speaker 14: your your non con and you go five hundred and
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: Big ten play, you're pretty much in the tournament. You
• 31:28
  Speaker 14: just have to win the non con and it feels
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: it feels so doable, especially after that BYU game. You're like, Okay,
• 31:35
  Speaker 14: Rank Mast is back, JaMarcus Lawrence is back. I mean,
• 31:39
  Speaker 14: those are two pieces from our tournament, you know, tournament
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: team that lost, but they were important pieces. The JaMarcus
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: laws was as important as Rank Mast obviously, but Rank
• 31:50
  Speaker 14: Mass was the engine of that team, and he's back.
• 31:54
  Speaker 14: So you think, and you know, we're in the NL
• 31:59
  Speaker 14: era where that those top talent the town's at a
• 32:02
  Speaker 14: little bit more spread out across everyone, so everyone's a
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: little bit better, but the top's also a little bit worse.
• 32:07
  Speaker 14: I know we're not talking full Big ten picture, but
• 32:09
  Speaker 14: you think talk about the Big ten outside of Purdue.
• 32:14
  Speaker 14: I don't know. It really doesn't seem to be a that's,
• 32:18
  Speaker 14: you know, very scary team that like we can't beat them.
• 32:21
  Speaker 14: And even then Perdue, we've we've been a little bit
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: of Purdue killers, not killers, but we put up we
• 32:28
  Speaker 14: put up fight again, you know. So I feel pretty
• 32:33
  Speaker 14: good about it, to be honest, just I think the
• 32:36
  Speaker 14: Big Ten is gonna have a little bit of a
• 32:38
  Speaker 14: down year or non cons pretty soft. And our team's old,
• 32:44
  Speaker 14: I mean rank mass is twenty four. Most of our
• 32:47
  Speaker 14: players that are going to be playing our juniors or seniors,
• 32:50
  Speaker 14: and I think that that bodes well for tournament teams
• 32:55
  Speaker 14: that the one and done teams just have not have
• 32:58
  Speaker 14: not done well come postseason. So I feel good. I
• 33:03
  Speaker 14: feel good.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: You are always the.
• 33:08
  Speaker 13: Very yeah Nebraska basketball, I Will says. Austin's like he
• 33:11
  Speaker 13: loves it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 33:16
  Speaker 14: I This is also might be the whitest basketball team
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: we've had in a lot, not that it's a good
• 33:20
  Speaker 14: or bad thing, but you look at the roster picture,
• 33:22
  Speaker 14: it's like, oh man, we're gonna have five white boys
• 33:24
  Speaker 14: out there at some point.
• 33:26
  Speaker 13: Yes, actually I think we When we started off against
• 33:29
  Speaker 13: b Yu, it was flip flop of like b yu
• 33:33
  Speaker 13: is traditionally you.
• 33:34
  Speaker 14: Would think.
• 33:36
  Speaker 13: Whiteople you know, and they didn't. It was the opposite,
• 33:41
  Speaker 13: Like we rolled out five guys, so it was it
• 33:44
  Speaker 13: was funny. But I do think you know that to
• 33:48
  Speaker 13: your point that the team itself is a veteran experienced
• 33:55
  Speaker 13: group and they were last year too, and we saw
• 33:57
  Speaker 13: how that has a very big impact in a in
• 34:01
  Speaker 13: a stretch of a thirty game season. This group concerns
• 34:06
  Speaker 13: me with the lack of losing Bryce, I think I
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: mentioned that earlier and.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Yep, that you're right.
• 34:13
  Speaker 13: We will be in competitive I think in a lot
• 34:16
  Speaker 13: of conference, a lot of most all of our games
• 34:18
  Speaker 13: this year. When you're in a lot of close games,
• 34:21
  Speaker 13: you sometimes just need a stud to go make plays,
• 34:24
  Speaker 13: and coaching can only do so much or scheming can
• 34:27
  Speaker 13: only do so much, where you just gotta have a
• 34:28
  Speaker 13: guy and Bryce did that several times last year for us.
• 34:32
  Speaker 13: And that's where I'm a little bit like, who's going to.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Do that and and kind of carry that?
• 34:38
  Speaker 13: And the best part about Bryce he did that he
• 34:40
  Speaker 13: did it with all in a like calm and cool
• 34:43
  Speaker 13: and collected personality, and he just he was a very
• 34:47
  Speaker 13: level headed leader for this group, and that's why I
• 34:50
  Speaker 13: think he was so special.
• 34:52
  Speaker 14: Yeah, him and Juwan as a tandem was perfect.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: They were.
• 34:59
  Speaker 14: It was that will be missed. And you know you're
• 35:04
  Speaker 14: talking about as being competitive all our games, Ken Palm
• 35:07
  Speaker 14: has us as underdogs for our first five. We're not
• 35:10
  Speaker 14: favorites in the Big Ten game until January per Ken Palm,
• 35:14
  Speaker 14: not necessarily by books, which we do.
• 35:17
  Speaker 13: Start out in Big Ten play with Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan State,
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: and then Ohio State.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Indiana.
• 35:24
  Speaker 14: Yeah so, and Indiana's got a new coach this year,
• 35:26
  Speaker 14: so they're supposed to be a little bit better.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, yeah, let's do predictions here.
• 35:35
  Speaker 13: I mean, if I hadn't throw a stab at a record,
• 35:40
  Speaker 13: I just feel like nineteen and eleven is a safe bet.
• 35:43
  Speaker 14: Yep. I was honestly nineteen eleven. I thought about going higher,
• 35:47
  Speaker 14: just because you start running through it's like, okay, you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 14: like I said, the Big Ten might not be as
• 35:53
  Speaker 14: good as we thought. Not that I don't think we
• 35:56
  Speaker 14: really thought it was gonna be that good, but maybe
• 35:58
  Speaker 14: I'll go more. I'll go twenty ten. I'm not gonna
• 36:01
  Speaker 14: be too aggressive.
• 36:02
  Speaker 13: I'm what I do think this team has a lot
• 36:04
  Speaker 13: lower for than a higher ceiling. I will say that
• 36:07
  Speaker 13: this team does not feel like a team that can
• 36:11
  Speaker 13: just start rolling through a schedule. I also think this
• 36:14
  Speaker 13: team hopefully doesn't have lapses where we lose five in
• 36:18
  Speaker 13: a row.
• 36:19
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that's the only you Just like I said, you
• 36:22
  Speaker 14: think about back to last year again. I know we
• 36:23
  Speaker 14: don't have Brice you on, but it's two years in
• 36:26
  Speaker 14: a row that we felt good with like six games
• 36:28
  Speaker 14: left in the year of like we're gonna make the tournament.
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: One year, we did make the tournament, and we had
• 36:33
  Speaker 14: a great four minutes as the best four minutes of
• 36:36
  Speaker 14: Nebraska basketball history. I stand by that I never been
• 36:40
  Speaker 14: more excited about Nebraska back and then last year I
• 36:45
  Speaker 14: thought we were a lot to make the tournament and
• 36:47
  Speaker 14: then we just absolutely buckled. But maybe that's because our
• 36:56
  Speaker 14: team was, you know, it was a little bit more isocentric,
• 36:59
  Speaker 14: and we had some injuries going into the end of
• 37:03
  Speaker 14: the year. But so I feel that those two years,
• 37:07
  Speaker 14: the momentum wasn't totally lost, and then we got it
• 37:08
  Speaker 14: all back to the Crown. I can just feel it
• 37:11
  Speaker 14: rolling into this year.
• 37:13
  Speaker 13: And I'll say that like a roster, I do the
• 37:16
  Speaker 13: coaching staff is going to earn their money from a
• 37:19
  Speaker 13: just ex's and no standpoint. I think this year, which
• 37:22
  Speaker 13: I do think, we have a very strong x's and
• 37:24
  Speaker 13: no type coaching staff team just because we don't have
• 37:26
  Speaker 13: a stud player that's going to bail us out. So
• 37:29
  Speaker 13: you do have to be very efficient in your game
• 37:32
  Speaker 13: plan in executing that to win a lot of these games.
• 37:36
  Speaker 13: So yeah, I'll go nineteen eleven. You know, I think
• 37:40
  Speaker 13: the ceiling and floor I have a lot lower floor.
• 37:43
  Speaker 13: I don't think there is obviously a world at the
• 37:45
  Speaker 13: bottom could fall out. I don't think it'll happen, but
• 37:50
  Speaker 13: if it does, you know, again, for the future of
• 37:52
  Speaker 13: the program, it's not like to me the end of
• 37:54
  Speaker 13: the world. We're also we're at a point with Hoiberger
• 37:56
  Speaker 13: right now where it's let's step up or and not
• 38:01
  Speaker 13: be complacent like we talked about earlier.
• 38:03
  Speaker 14: So yeah, I think we'll go twenty and ten, probably
• 38:05
  Speaker 14: finish around that eight seven to nine range in the
• 38:09
  Speaker 14: Big ten, and I do think we'll make a tournament game.
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: I haven't decided I'm going to purchase my tickets for
• 38:17
  Speaker 14: the Final four in Indianapolis yet, but we'll wait all
• 38:21
  Speaker 14: wait see how Monday goes by.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: You didn't do that enough for you, b y.
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: You got me pretty close. But it was an exhibition,
• 38:27
  Speaker 14: you know.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: All right, Well I'll do it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 14: I guess. Hold on, quick, women's just quick, women's. We're
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: coming back. We made turn in the last two years.
• 38:40
  Speaker 14: I think this year we win. We lost a Lexus
• 38:43
  Speaker 14: Markowski was a four time All Big Ten player, but
• 38:47
  Speaker 14: we're getting back Nali Potchi's coming back from injury. We
• 38:50
  Speaker 14: got a couple of good transfers. Outside of that, I
• 38:53
  Speaker 14: really don't feel like we lost that much production. I
• 38:57
  Speaker 14: think coach Williams is a good coach. So that's that's
• 39:02
  Speaker 14: my quick Kennedy Williams. So now we have two basketball
• 39:06
  Speaker 14: coaches with their kids on their rosters who I feel
• 39:09
  Speaker 14: pretty good about.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: That.
• 39:11
  Speaker 14: Now the Big Ten outside of the USC doesn't really
• 39:18
  Speaker 14: have oh sorry U c l A. That's what I meant.
• 39:22
  Speaker 14: Seems pretty stomachable, and I again, our our start to
• 39:25
  Speaker 14: the season for the women's team is also pretty similar
• 39:28
  Speaker 14: to the men's where it's you know, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
• 39:36
  Speaker 14: nine wins that I feel pretty comfortable with. So feeling
• 39:40
  Speaker 14: pretty good about coach Williams and her career this year.
• 39:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we'll have to do a better job here this
• 39:45
  Speaker 13: year going through the women's stuff because our women's team,
• 39:48
  Speaker 13: I don't think we give them enough credit for the
• 39:53
  Speaker 13: success that they've had here in recent years.
• 39:55
  Speaker 14: So yeah, we won't. We won't run through all their
• 39:57
  Speaker 14: transfer and roster stuf because that would require most of
• 39:59
  Speaker 14: the listeners would be like, oh, yeah, I knew who
• 40:01
  Speaker 14: exactly was on our team last year. I don't know
• 40:05
  Speaker 14: if that's true this way. But and then Britt Prince
• 40:08
