Frustations at Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska basketball boil over after another blowout loss

There aren’t too many people who watched the Nebraska basketball team get off to a 12-2 start to the season who saw the Huskers look as bad, as often as they have since the calendar switched to 2025. And the surprise over how bad things have gone of late is part of the problem.

A perception that there has been a lack of effort, even confirmed by Brice Williams and Juwan Gary after their last loss, is not sitting well with Husker fans who expected Fred Hoiberg’s latest squad to challenge for a return to the NCAA Tournament.

After the Huskers got their brakes beat off again in a tilt against Wisconsin there were more people piping up, wondering really for the first time in a few years, whether Fred Hoiberg is the right man for the job with the Nebraska basketball program.

Frustration boil over after latest Nebraska basketball loss

Talk about moving on from Fred Hoiberg has ramped up over the last few weeks.

Absolute disaster from start to finish is describing Nebraska basketball games far too often.

General anger around the program is at a high, thanks in large part to the success of last season.

The game was never really a contest.

There is real confusion over just what's going on in Lincoln. After looking like a tournament team after its first 14 games, it's looked anything but.

It is in fact crazy to think about how quickly things went south. At the beginning of January, people were talking about the coaching job Fred Hoiberg had done in turning this program into a real contender and a program that bigger schools feared.

Things are very bad for the Nebraska basketball team right now. And with two more Top 25 teams in thier next two games, things might only get worse.
