  1. Past hour
  2. NU - 60 Traitor Trev - 80 We've had some nice wins over the years when I’ve predicted this score so I’m going to roll the dice. 0 wins
  3. Seed all D1 teams into pods of 4 teams. Top team in each pod is host team two games and I think after one week you would have the top 64 teams. If an odd number give bye or byes to top team.. Reseed teams after that week. Also get rid of post season conference tournaments. Most are poorly attended this would truly allow for some Cinderella to be found
  4. That was QUITE a game and a heart breaker. We were 16 for 37 from 3 IIRC.
  5. My first was in 78? ( I’d have been 10 ). We played K-State and Rolando Blackman IIRC. Couldn’t tell you if we won ( I think we did though). There was a play were Carl McPipe or Andre Smith tried to save a ball on the sideline. It was the old turn and throw it off the opposing team’s closest player before you go out of bounds. The ball hit the K State player right in the face ( and… it went out of bounds off him). Those two players instantly were slapping hands ( that was a few years before “high five-ing” believe it or not)…as if to unashamedly say “ that was a bad ass play and we don’t care what happened to that dudes face”. I think Ro Blackman airballed a free throw in that game ( any chance anyone remembers that ?). A few years later some friends ( thanks Dan and Tim ) took us to a few games. They would sit way at the top, dead center and brought a pencil or pen to keep stats in the program. I thought it was cool, so I did that a few years too. My next big memory was I believe Andre Smith’s Sr year. My older bro got us tickets to a home game late in the season vs Ok State. They were in First place in the conference at the time. The Bob was electric that night. We were milking a lead late. Andre kept getting free for easy buckets as OSU was chasing, trying to make a steal. IIRC, Andre missed 3 dunks in the last couple minutes…but we still won. And on it goes, fun memories. Larger than life at the time.
  6. Palm’s brackets drove me nuts the last couple months. Just put some effort into it, guy.
  7. Damn when was the last time we played on CBS? I feel bad for not knowing this. It wasn't when KU hit the last second shot with Ballard back in the day was it? There you have it: https://youtu.be/vlKyqIIiTS4?si=3VbBGzOoxaFRb2lp
  8. NU 79 TA&M 73 6 I’ve chosen with my heart all season. Why stop now!!??!!

  10. You also want to make the regular season meaningful. If too many teams qualify, then you're no better than a watered down NBA regular season that has to start creating in-season tournaments just to keep people interested.
  11. I don't know what my first game was, but I'm sure it was no later than Dave Hoppen's freshman year. I'm certain our family had season tickets that year, and together with my uncle's family we had nine in a row in section C16, row 22. I kept score along with a cousin who was my age. I distinctly remember the NIT games with the ABA ball and along with Hoppen, my favorite player was Stan Cloudy.
  12. We used to have a poster here named sideburns jones who was into mopping the floor. One of my favorites. I think @jimmykc took a hankering to him, also.
  13. I’d be totally on board with this. I do like the idea however of some having byes and some sort of play down at the start. 128 would too radical for some. How about top 32 and then another 64 play down to 32 and reseed into final 64 ?
  14. Today
  15. Here’s a proposal that would maybe satisfy the “ don’t expand the dance b/c it will water it down” crowd ( which is most ? ). Why not have your top 48 in. Then have an NIT type field of 64. Play 2 rounds and get that to 16 and seed those with the 48 into your 64 field. Ideally eliminate any other tournaments. Ideally you go out of your way to include solid mid majors as apposed to just loading more major conference teams in ( some certainly)…. I think this would be super cool. Change can be good !
  16. Eliminate the NIT and CBI and put 128 teams in the NCAA tournament. It would only add one more round.
  17. One of things I like about this board is it's one of the few places I still feel young . I had never paid much attention to college basketball growing up; I liked the NBA at the time and only thought of Nebraska football. During my freshman year at NU I had a buddy from Virginia who was a big Nebraska basketball fan and convinced me to get student season tickets. This was in 1993 and I was hooked immediately. My first game was an exhibition against Pella Windows or Athletes in Action/Marathon Oil when they still did those...didn't matter. Those Nee squads played a fun brand of ball and I was shocked at how much more fun it was to go to basketball than football games. I watched all of the (Raycom-Phillips 66) road games on the big screen in the Selleck game room and had the high of winning the Big 8 tourney and low of getting smoked by Penn in the Big Dance that year. I figure if I could survive the Collier era after that exciting start, I can handle anything!
  18. Wasn't there a Wetovick that ran track at UNL in last few years? Brother? Heard rumor that Kane may be looking to opt out to bigger school.
  19. Besides watching those few games from the mid-to-late 70s throughout the 80s, I specifically had season tickets during the 90s run (both football & basketball--WHAT A TIME!!!) and have now had season tickets for football since 2005 and in hoops since PBA opened in '13. The best part of all of this is that I've always gone to games with my bro, and the past few with my son, who's now 16. Individual memories of games could be mentioned, and there have been many, but the best memories are talking about every facet of every single game until we can't discuss it any further, that's for both FB & BB. And I analyze everything! lol

  21. I sure hope it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Nebraska has had this experience 7 other times. You can only win your first NCAA tournament game once.
  22. Versus TCU in NIT in 1983. Had a friend whose brother attended UNL and got us tickets. Loved the red, white and blue basketball. First NCAA college games I attended were at BDSC as it was 1980 NCAA tourney site. Sat in last row in B section and watched Louisville vs Kansas St. & Missouri vs Notre Dame.
  23. My wife and I are in 114. I told my dad, we had to go, it’s a once in a lifetime experience. He quickly told me, I hope it’s not a once in a lifetime experience.
