Nebraska's Fred Hoiberg wants to see change in future transfer portal schedules

The Nebraska Huskers, who finished with a 17-14 record and outside of the NCAA tournament field, will play Arizona State in the first round of the inaugural College Basketball Crown tournament in Las Vegas on Monday at 7:30 p.m. CT, which will be broadcast on FS1.
Nebraska's athletic director Troy Dannen spoke with coach Fred Hoiberg after a five-game losing streak that jeopardized their NCAA tournament chances, emphasizing the need for introspection and support to improve the program.
The Huskers scaled back practice after the regular season ended and the transfer portal opened, but have since returned to typical practices as Hoiberg and his staff prepare for Arizona State and plan to retool the roster, which is expected to undergo significant changes for the second consecutive offseason.
The College Basketball Crown offers a financial incentive, with the winning team receiving $300,000 for its collective, $100,000 for second place, and $50,000 for teams losing in the semi-finals, and is seen as the Huskers' biggest opportunity to build a team that can avoid the Crown next year.
Hoiberg aims to return to the NCAA tournament and consistently compete there, emphasizing the importance of finding the right players who fit the program's culture and can contribute to building a winning team, while assistant coach Adam Howard departs for North Carolina State.
