Michigan at Nebraska Open Thread

Too early? Probably, but let's get this show on the road. I wonder why Sunday at midnight struck the conference as a good tip time for this one? Long weekend waiting for this game. Go Blue. Let's lock up that bid.

Worst loss ever at home for Neb... not a bad way to end the season for Mich. 

 

I wonder if Tim Miles survives this season?

You're talking about a school with zero NCAA tournament victories.  Miles' bid in 2014 was their first since 1998, two full head coaches ago.  In 121 seasons, they've been ranked twice in the pre-season Top 25 and twice in the post-season Top 25.

In other words, they'd be foolish not to keep a guy who is well-liked, hasn't brought any scandals into town, and -- as was just said -- seems genuine in his care and respect for his players.

If you've ever been to Lincoln, Nebraska, you'll understand how difficult it is to convince young men to spend four years of their life there, unless it happens to be home already -- and your average Nebraskan farmer is bulking up for the football team, not shooting free throws and hoping to make the basketball team.
