Steven M. Sipple: Headaches pile up quickly for Hoiberg this season, one standing above all

If you have any soul at all, you feel for Fred Hoiberg right now.

I've got a headache just thinking about Hoiberg's headaches.

The Nebraska men's basketball team has a 1-2 record. Hoiberg is 15-47 in his third season as the Huskers' head coach. I banged the drum loudly in March of 2019 that he was absolutely what this program needed — a proven coach with a national name.

Nobody's writing off Nebraska this season, at least I'm not. It's far too early for that. This Husker team has enough weapons to get hot and make life awfully difficult for many teams, maybe even a few in the Big Ten.
