They didn't duck any questions Tuesday when they met with sports writers over lunch at the Memorial Stadium training table.
Eichorst, the fifth-year Nebraska athletic director, made it clear at least three times that the Husker men's basketball program is operating below the level he desires.
But he also said he doesn't think it's far from getting there, which obviously is debatable in the wake of three straight losing seasons and too many transfers during that period to list.
In that regard, how do Eichorst and Miles, the sixth-year Husker head coach, feel when they hear people question the strength of the program's culture?
