The Nebraska men's basketball team has our rapt attention. Tim Miles' crew is 11-2 and looked wicked good in its last two games of note — Dec. 8 against Creighton and during the second half Dec. 16 against Oklahoma State. In short, the Huskers looked to be a team that can win multiple games in the NCAA Tournament. All that would mean is Miles would get a statue of himself outside Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Of course, Miles' job at the moment is to ensure continued progress. Although the seventh-year Husker coach doesn't like to talk about individual players in that context, there's a certain reality attached to the discussion.
