Potential Iowa State opening shouldn't scare Husker fans who hunger for Hoiberg

Iowa State's participation in March Madness has some added drama -- a situation that Nebraska fans are watching closely.

Cyclone men's basketball fans are bracing for the possibility of head coach Steve Prohm moving on to Alabama, as multiple reports link Prohm to his alma mater. Alabama and fourth-year coach Avery Johnson reportedly are in negotiations on a buyout of his coaching contract.

The Journal Star reported earlier this week that Nebraska has had contact with former Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg and that he would be a strong candidate for the Huskers' head coach position should Tim Miles be fired.
