Brice Williams is the best Nebrasketball player since…?

Ty Lue?

Has Brice done enough to get his jersey retired?

Ironically, he did way more for Nebraska Basketball than Shedildo Sanders did for Colorado Football.

Call him up you cowards

Brice might be the best ever. Before this season my top 3 was Lue, Piatkowski, then Hoppen. You can definitely argue that Brice is the best ever and I think he might be.

Lue
Bryce
Pike
Hoppen

In that order IMO

By those standards I should have my number retired at Alabama. And I’m a Nebraska fan, who didn’t play at Alabama, or Nebraska.

Erick Strickland should be mentioned. Had more than a cup of coffee in the League. I remember one game, I think Strick was playing for the Mavs, where he went head to head with Jordan and held his own.

Strick had one of the longest NBA careers of a former Husker, 9 years.

Yep. He was a solid pro. Pike and Lue probably the other two with longish careers. I would guess Pike had the longest of any Husker.

OK, fun bit of trivia:
Can you name the top five former Huskers with the longest NBA playing careers?
I'm guessing there is one player pretty high on the list many will forget about.

Spoiler: Answer

Eric Piatkowski 14 seasons, Mikki Moore 13, Tyronn Lue 11, Erick Strickland 9, Stu Lantz 8.

I bet you are talking about Mikki Moore.

I was sure Piatkowski was going to have a productive NBA career and spend many more years as a starter than he did.

I think Mast has a great opportunity to carve out a career in the modern NBA. Big man with range and elite passing skills, kind of poor man’s Jokic. That behind the back pass to Jacobsen off the double team against OU seemed simple but was such a high level play. There are very few players with his skill set and size in the country.

 

[SlumpBuster]

I bet you are talking about Mikki Moore.

Definitely what I was going to guess. Still surprised he had that long of a career

 

[Boondock_St_Sker]

Not at Nebraska was he in the dance.

In fairness this post is over a year old and I was drunk. Even the great ones lose their minds and stumble once in awhile. LOLOLOL
