I know I'll watch, I know I'll hate it, and I know I'll be exasperated.

I love Nebraska basketball, but I hate watching this season slowly asphyxiate. It's a team of poor-shooting, unmotivated swingmen without any depth, 3-point artists, or competent big men (read: Diaz is not good at playing basketball). It's a fiasco. I still think Doc is a good coach, and I can't name someone who I'd rather have who's: a) potentially available, and b) would be in it for the long haul. Our players are just awful.

I have this sense that we Nebraska fans don't deserve a good product because there's not the faintest whiff of basketball tradition, and we're all just killing time until baseball starts up and the Red/White game draws near - which in turn allows us to kill time until football starts again.

Is this what it's like to be an Indiana/Kentucky/Duke fan during football season? Should I stop watching? Someone give me some hope, here. Jon? Anyone?
