You thought wrong.  Just like these other gems from that horrific message board. Thanks Dimes for showing that so I felt the need to check in over there.  Considering, how they consider themselves to be so much smarter than us, the basketball talk over there is horrific.  Just a pathetic message board.  The only thing that drums up much interest over there is the topic of Nebraska.   The inferiority complex is quite the phenomenon.  

 

1.  TAA thinking he is quite the comedian, wondering if they are looking ahead to the Longwood game.  I might have to dig up the video of this clown winning Valley Tickets.  Now that is funny.   That "Go Jays" awkward scream is epic.  His humor, not so much. 

 

2.  The awesomely named Jaysker12 gives us his insights into the game.   "I haven't seen them play yet, but the offense resembles that of years past."  Okay dude. 

 

3.  Gotta love this name.  NUgradCUfan  It isn't NU for starters.  While easy mistake to make on the fly, it is not a mistake that should be made in a posting handle.  And the name just screams I AM A TOOL.   As for his insights, we were expecting Gill to replace White production, lol.  Wow. 

 

4. WhiteandBlue77 summing up many in this fanbase thinking they are better than everyone else.  Complaining that he has to go to a bar to watch the game with a bunch of southern rednecks because he doesn't have BTN.  You would think a guy with Creighton levels of intelligence would subscribe online for a short time and use an Apple TV to stream it to avoid hanging out with people so inferior to him

 

5. Good old LynchMob blessing everyone with his thoughts.  "This will be a beatdown because the Huskers are scared and Miles cannot prepare a team. " Thanks for that Lych.

 

6. DJAYFAN laughably claiming that Webster was thinking about Creighton during the South Dakota game, more than that game he was playing in.  He also claimed that we are about to become the 3rd best program in the state:)   My goodness.  There is delusional and then there is this guy.

 

7.  Double Douche bragging about picking up some tremendous seats.  Tom Green is your typical Creighton fan.  Thinks he is more important than he is, when he is just another lawyer around every Omaha corner.

 

8.  NUgradCUfan chimes in with more douchebaggery   He says he is hoping to be surrounded by all Nebraska fans when Patton throws one down.  Meanwhile, I hope I am next to him when this occurs. 

 

9.  Hardwood informing us that Creighton taking over the building while be similar to Husker fans taking over Northwestern in football.  Sounds like he might have first hand knowledge of that experience.  Looks like we have a classic Jaysker. 

 

10.  Hunter calling all of us "Cousin Eddies" to stay wtih the superiority theme

 

11.  Jayslifer claiming "That was the first time (maybe ever) that I've visited Husker Hoops Central."   This clearly shows he is a pathetic liar.  Why would you have to say (maybe ever) if you already claimed it was your first time visiting.  Caught in an outright lie. 

 

12.  Jaysker12 with more brilliance claiming there is no way we can keep up. 

 

 

Don't forget WhiteandBlue77 claiming that CU was a "blueblood" program in the 70s

It's now 4 which, FWIW, matches the KenPom spread.

Still, dimes, seems a shade optimistic to me.  If I were a betting man I'd be all over the Jays on this one.

[Huskerpapa]

I hope my expectations are blown out of the water on this one.

As I've already stated elsewhere today my bias in the matter disqualifies me from giving any recommendations in this matter.

You would be living in a mansion right now if you'd followed my recommendations about the Clemson and South Dakota games though.

I'd be living on the street if I followed my own recommendations, kind of why I don't gamble.   Still, this one is all Jays for me at -4 because of the intangibles involved (Miles/McDermott, etc.), I just can't see any good reason to think otherwise.

 

Now, I'm sure @royalfan is going to come in and explain why +4 is good money.  I hope so, anyway.

I hope that was sarcastic as pointing out dumb things fans on some other sites post as some form of failed wisdom isn't exactly the opposite.

 

Most certainly sarcastic.

I am not the most educated guy on the matter.  Can't watch as much hoops as I would like until after week 16 in the NFL.  That said I thought line would be 3.5.  If I were a local book I would set it at 5 or so as perception in these parts among both fan bases is that this is a rout.  The fact is we are a decent team.  We are playing at home.  Vegas doesn't make radical adjustments for things like recent history etc.  The total of 146 seems a bit too high to me if anything.  I think the shooting will have to be pretty good to clear that number.  Mcdermott takes this game very seriously.  He has tended to coach one of his best games of the year in this one.  He will have a pretty good defensive game plan I would think.  And if he does, it will result in us using a lot of clock to find shots in many instances.  They also don't foul a ton so the clock doesn't stop a ton.  I don't have a good enough feel for anything yet, but that is what instincts say is the play if anything.  Do be warned that Miles fouled the last two minutes last year down by 13-16 points causing an easy under to get blown up.  His frustration got the best of him, and me:)

He does that always, not just in this game.  The number of times he's been beating the KenPom spread just to foul his way out of it in the last minute is staggering.  I get it though - you play to win, damn the point spread etc., but it's something I've noticed.

 

It's also another reason why I feel like the Jays is the easy play here.

He does for sure, which he should.  But he took it to ridiculous extremes last year in the Creighton game.

Wasn't it to maybe just piss off the crowd a bit too.

[royalfan]

Yeah I think that had something to do with it, which is why I mentioned his frustration got the best of him.
