The presence of media from the state of Iowa at Fred's Lincoln presser on Tuesday - TV, radio, newspaper - will be epic.
I am NOT a "Prohm hater". I am a "losing hater", and that loss to Ohio State has me REALLY REALLY pissed off. We had the personnel to beat Ohio State easily. Just imagine double-teaming Wesson with Lard and Jackobson, not for extended periods of time but only for a minute or two here and there, just long enough to get into Wesson's head and take away his confidence. Oh, well, we have 5 months t complain about, since it was an NCAA tournament loss and ended our season, and that is on Prohm.
The big difference is the hotbed that is Pennsylvania high school wrestling. Lincoln doesn’t have that
You need to pump the brakes on Fred being the next great thing. He was good at ISU but he never won a regular season title, averaged 10 losses a year and never got past the sweet 16. The NBA game is different than college but his Bulls teams looked poorly coached. He also never recruited the state of Iowa that well (granted there is rarely a lot of talent).
Calipari and Pitino are the only coaches that I can think of that came back to college and did great things, and they both took teams to the final four before jumping to the pros.
Compared to MOST schools Nebraska has no tradition or history in basketball.
You must be really pissed about UAB then...
I still don't understand the argument. We can't control who we play in the tournament, and we only played Little Rock because they upset 5-seeded Purdue. Going into the game I wasn't too worried, but also hoping we weren't going to be victim #2
This. Besides, other than 4 seed UNC, Fred only beat a 9,7 and 14. That's a bit better but he was no giant killer.
Edit: UNC was a 6, so Fred beat a 6,7,9 and 14.

I'd be pissed if Lipsey goes, but if Foster goes I won't care even a little bit. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but nothing about his game impresses me
UNC was the 6 seed that year. And we still ended up losing to the 7 (I think that's what UConn was?). But that's the tournament for you.
He probably thinks Fred coached that game like John wooden and blames Bdj for the loss.
You're acting like Hoiberg was coach K or something. LOL. Prohm has accomplished just as much as your savior. Grow up child.
I don't think UNC was a 4 seed. We were a 3 seed that year, that means UNC was a 6.
You just know the NCAA is just waiting to put Nebraska and Iowa State in the same bracket next year.
Jamie's on the committee, he'll keep us out of there.
If ISU were to somehow get a 1 seed in the next few years I'd fully expect the 8-9 game to be Nebraska vs. UNLV
