Nebraska Basketball: Do the Huskers Need New Dancing Shoes?

History has never been very generous to the Nebraksketball faithful. Yes, there are a handful of NCAA Tournament bids (7) and conference championships (6). There is even an NIT championship to boot.

But outside of these few glimpses of hope that are now light years away, there is very little this program has for the faithful to hold on to. In fact, we are now the last power conference team without an NCAA Tournament win. Northwestern checked that off their bucket list last season.

I like to think of Nebrasketball fans as being a hardened, realistic, and more sensible member of the Husker fandom. This is not a program that can ride on a rich and storied tradition (football) or are currently in the mist of a bit of a dynasty (volleyball). The folks who follow the Nebraska men’s basketball team have waited a long time for greatness and it has not come easy. It has come close a few times but has always drifted away with great swaths of time in between.

Keep all of this in mind as you read ahead. It can be easy to see what the Huskers have done so far and get overly excited for the possibility of this squad to overachieve beyond any preseason predictions had them at. I wouldn’t, not just yet. Patience will keep you going longer in this game.
