Ohio State hoops is playing Nebraska tonight, and the Huskers have a guy with, bar none, the best name in college basketball. Shit barely fits on the back of his jersey.

Nebraska Basketball: Georgetown transfer Moses Ayegba lands at Nebraska

Moses Ayegba a 6’9 247 pound center from Georgetown committed to play for Tim Miles and the Nebraska Basketball program late Wednesday night. A former highly touted recruit out of high school, he didn’t live up to the standards Georgetown thought he might live up to. Out of Temple Hills, Maryland he was a 4 star recruit by rivals and the 95th best player in the nation. While…

Yesterday, Nebraska lost to Ohio State in the Big Ten tournament.  It was a close game and either team could have won.  I was disappointed that they lost, but man I love this team.  They fight hard and have climbed so much higher than people expected.  And, one way or another their season is not over. If they do not get selected for the NCAA tournament they will certainly be a high seed in the NIT tournament.  Which would probably bring some more games to the friendly atmosphere of the very hospitable Pinnacle Bank Arena.  Either way, I will be watching, and enjoying the intense and dynamic Cornhuskers play together as often as possible. And, when the season is over I am overflowing with confidence for the future.  Names like Parker, Petteway, Pitchford, and Shields have become welcome in our house, and in our conversations.  And, will be, we hope, for several more years.  This is a young team, and the future is filled with glorious, profound possibility and potential. When looking back at the later part of the season I can’t help but think of the Dylan lyrics; "I got something in my pocket, make your eyeballs swim, I got dogs that will tear you limb from limb, I’m circling around the southern zone, I pay in blood, but not my own.”

Tim Miles is building a good team, piece by piece, and in only his second season he has done something significant and wonderful.  He is a calm presence in front of the camera, and a tempest on the sideline.  He can coach, and he can recruit, and he can give a danged good interview, as well. Tom Osborne hired the right man, at the right time.  We have a coach who knows how to build a winner, a new state of the art arena, a team of talented young men, who are hungry to prove that Nebrasketball is a state of being, and fans that ready for successHu.  No matter what happened yesterday it is a good time to be a Husker.

Nebrasketball - Believe It

PROLOGUE – Blood and Spiders

The Start of Something Special By Brian Hall

You guys, they did it. 

They actually did it. I’m nearly speechless. Less than two hours ago, Nebrasketball (probably) erased 16 years of history that we’d rather forget, and Tim Miles and his boys are going into the Big Ten tournament with a first round bye, and the first legitimate shot at an NCAA Tournament bid in a long, long time. 

I could fill pages and pages with words of praise for what this team has accomplished. I could write for hours about how Nebrasketball shocked the world of college basketball, and how over the last month the Huskers went from a nice little story to a roaring lion demanding the attention it deserved. Or how Tim Miles went from that goofy yet loveable guy in glasses, to that goofy yet loveable guy in glasses who should be the obvious choice for Big Ten coach of the year (Miles doesn’t change regardless of his program, and that’s one of his many great qualities). 

And lastly, I could talk about how on #NoSitSunday, the greatest fans in the country turned up, refused to sit down, and screamed like hell for nearly two hours, and at the end of it all, ran on to the court to embrace the team that had made the last few weeks something to remember for a very long time. 

But as I watched Tim Miles address his team in the locker room, one thing became evident; Tim Miles isn’t done, and neither is his team. They’re hungry for more, starving for a chance to further prove that they belong high above the cellar that everyone put them in at the beginning of the season. They’re out to prove that they can hang with one of the best college basketball conferences in the country, a conference full of “blood and spiders” and any team beating any other team, and that these types of performances will be the expectation rather than the rule. 

And so now we shift our focus to the postseason, the Big Ten tournament and whatever lies beyond, starting with today’s preview of the #B1Gtourney draw and what it means for the Huskers. Check us out on Twitter at @CornFedSports, or mosey on over to www.cornfedsports.com. 

It drops soon, so stay tuned…
