The State of Husker Hoops

I appreciate the work that Doc Sadler does with the NU Hoops squad. He has brought a passion to the game and to (some) fans that I think will transfer to a winning formula. 
I can't stand Michael Beasley, K State stud frosh. He just wreaks of punk. If you watch him during a game, you can just see his "better-than-you" attitude coming out, including when you see him arguing with teammates during games. He looks like one of those guys who, if you are winning, you're fine with, but once things go south...
Knowing those two things, I was ecstatic that NU beat K State last night at the Devaney Center, especially in front of an ESPN2 crowd. Beasley is a stud and deserves to be in the discussion for POY, although there is no way he should win it. But, according to the Lee Barfnecht of the OWH, he told the ESPN cameras that "I might go for 50." As Lee points out, he barely got a third of the way there. Congrats to Doc Sadler and the boys for rallying and defeating this idiot and his 'tude who will not make it in the NBA. Talent, sure he could hang. But there isn't a team that will succeed with him in the mix. 
Doc Sadler will make this Husker program legitimate...if he sticks around. I would think he has Osborne's support (because Osborne is too busy watching the football team to meddle around). You can tell by watching him that he gives a crap and that may be the biggest asset to turning around the program.
