We have a horrible basketball team. I like Doc, but I just don't know if the guy will ever get it done here. I think that we we lucky to get that W last night.

I hope Nebraska keeps Doc for a long, long time.

That is just flat out unacceptable.

Amazing defense. NOT. Seems to me defense falls more on coaching... more than just throwing chairs.

Correct. Everyone is screaming about the defense,but in the first half Tim McCormick was gushing about Iowa being the most improved defensive team in the league. That last ten minutes, Nebraska was defended ok,only to knock down an improbable shot at the shot clock buzzer. I did not see a lack of hustle,but the Hawks have to find a way to defensive rebound.

More of a perfect storm of a guy who makes 6 of 33 from the arc for the season just having an incredible nite with 6 of 7 from the arc. That was not on the scouting reports.

Aren't we 12th in defense??? I guess we can still be most improved and still suck really bad at it. I guess we can be happy there are only 12 teams... being 16th would suck worse.

Playing Nebraska can be tricky. They make you feel like you are playing good defense as they pass the ball around the perimeter not looking to score. Then 10 seconds on the shot clock hits and they start trying to move the ball toward the hoop.

So, its really hard to say you play good D for 25-30 seconds and then fall apart.
