from Locked On Nebraska - Daily Podcast on the Nebraska Cornhuskers · host Locked On Podcast Network

It’s over for Nebraska basketball this season. Well, not exactly. The Huskers are headed to a second-tier postseason tournament. But they fell short of the goal to make a second consecutive NCAA appearance after a deflating loss at home Sunday against Iowa. Nevertheless, the Huskers have the right coach in Fred Hoiberg. Connor and Mitch assess the carnage of this season. Hoiberg has earned the trust of Nebraska’s administration, but all parties need to take a hard look at the program. What can be fixed? How to do it? And how serious is Nebraska about equipping Hoiberg with the roster-building resources to compete for a spot in the top half of the Big Ten.Also, we applaud the Omaha Mavericks and review the weekend for Nebraska baseball. And Matt Rhule will be back on stage Tuesday in Lincoln.
