Steven M. Sipple: Keep an open mind about Miles' crew

Don't fret about the record.

Let all those freshmen and transfer Andrew White have as much time as they need to grow and form chemistry.

Remain patient at every turn.

Yeah, whatever.

Perhaps you noticed Nebraska men's basketball coach Tim Miles' conversation with true freshman forward Jack McVeigh during the first half of Tuesday night's game against Miami. Miles pulled McVeigh from the game and, ahem, emphasized the importance of blocking out high-flying Hurricanes.

Miles was enraged, and it was gorgeous to witness.

Throwaway season? Try telling that to Nebraska's fourth-year coach. You just might get the McVeigh treatment.
