Down goes Freddy
- Thread starter Lineup
- Start date
So the Freddies solidly clinched last place with that win, Wisconsin solidified their first place finish and championship with that loss. Sounds as if Wisconsin had no incentive in that game. Did they even play their starters?
Davis got hurt and might be out for the rest of the way.
WI is good but their margin is pretty thin and they're likely F'd now.
Ouch for them, I didn't know that. I didn't watch the game, just checked the score on ESPN.
give us a 10 seed in their 2 seed region
This take is comical, Wisconsin had tons to play for. They would have won the Big 10 outright, now, if Illinois beats Iowa it's a shared title and Wisconsin would get the #2 seed in the Big 10 tournament. Furthermore this loss is liable to knock Wisconsin from a 2 seed to a 3 seed in the NCAA tournament as well.
3 in a row...playing out perfectly according to plan...no one will see it coming...until it's too late! Brilliant!
Hmmmm...I was going by ESPN's standings and team records, as of this time of posting. However, with Minnesota's future (it's still early in the second half as of this writing) loss to Northwestern, Minnesota will solidly share last place with Nebraska. Still a solid last place finish for the Freddies.

Their path in the Big 10 tournament is NW, Iowa, Rutgers, and then the final 4 of the conference. I feel like if they're gonna stay hot and go on a run they have the best path possible for it
Funny to see badgers up in arms on the Johny Davis foul when their guys have played that way all season.
I'll be cheering for Freddy to win at least 2 games in the B1G tournament...
The way they are playing, the fighting Freddie's just might make it past NW, Iowa and Rutgers.
Bored by tonight's game. I decided to figure out what is going on with Hoiberg at NU. His roster this year had 19 players. I've never seen that.
In 2019 he brought in 6 commits plus 4 transfers, a total of 10 new players.
2020 he signed 4 guys plus 2 transfers, so 6 more players.
2021 he brought in 5 new commits, and 3 transfers, so 8 new players.
For 2022 he has 4 new commits signed, plus just added a transfer from NDSU.
This must be a Nebraska thing. Somehow at some point he has to get down to 13 scholarship players. But start with 18, then force out the ones you don't want.
I heard on Omaha radio I think football has 91 kids on scholarship right now. After the Spring game Saturday they will sit some kids down and show them the door. Boy, college sports just ain't what they used to be.

No, it’s definitely not what it used to be. But everyone is playing that game now.
I guess it comes with the territory. With greater freedom (for the players), comes less security.
This has nothing to do with NIL or the transfer portal. Scholarships have almost always been awarded on a yearly basis. Kids that didn’t pan out or got recruited over have been shown the door since at least the first scholarship limits in the 70s.
