Not gonna do it. I want OU to lose. I won't pay attention to whom they're playing.

That's how I fee about Creighton...

Would be huge for Creighton to pick up a win. 

 

It's a good matchup for the Jays...you can beat Oklahoma with the 3.

It's a win-win as they help our resume when they win and it's funny when they lose and they'll probably do enough of both to just stay a Quad 2 game.

Well, I went to watch Iowa and Western Carolina. Hard to form an opinion of the Hawks in person when they're playing such a bad team in a mostly empty arena on a Tuesday after finals week. But I have trouble believing they're better than Nebraska. We'll find out in a couple of weeks.

 

Western Carolina had 26 turnovers but I swear half of them were dropped passes or passes that bounced off Catamount shins. Iowa still has trouble closing out on 3-point shooters, though they're better than last year at challenging drives.

Garza and Cook combined for 30 against Wisconsin at home in a game where they only scored 66. As long we can hold those guys to a reasonable number this is a very winnable game

[Huskerpapa]

I almost hate to say the following, as it sounds sort of cliche' like; but keeping Isaiah on the floor and out of foul trouble against Iowa may be the biggest key. 

 

We recruited Garza, and now he is very easy to dislike.

While I don't question Iowas offense... I do question their D.  The bad thing about that match up with us is that I don't question our O or our D really this year.  I know what we can do.  I don't think Iowa has five solid defenders to shut us down.  Bad news for them because we have five guys who can score.

Texas Tech - Duke game tomorrow. Culver is shooting himself into the middle of the first round if he keeps it up, and definitely worth a watch to see how good Tech really is.

Creighton looked really bad at times last night.  They could not hit a lake with most of their three point shots and Alexander never really got going.  Ballock had a horrible shooting day (don't think he made a 3) and they struggled to guard Oklahoma.  Could not believe they had it within 7 late in the game.

I didn't see any of that game because I don't have that channel.  Did you watch it all?

 

Did you feel the need to pour bleach in your eyes afterwards?

I watched the game and Creighton was awful.  Their big man had a good game, but it was otherwise a gawdawful performance.  If they are not hitting their 3's, they are a middling team this year.  Quite honestly, I was not overly impressed with Oklahoma either.  Their defense was sound, but otherwise...mehhh.

I think we may have had more fans at our open player practice than they did last night at OU as well.

I think that brings up a  point worth pondering  @Huskerpapa.   In my time following the Huskers, I can't think of Any player that I disliked!   Contrast that to some players that are unanimously reviled around here like Grant Gibbs, Aaron Craft, what's his name from Clemson that we recruited, Thomas?, and several others I can't think of off the top of my head. 

 

I don't recall having any 'Floppers,' 'eye-pokers,' or  other egregiously offensive players on our team.  Is that because we try not to recruit players with those kinds of tendencies; or is that behavior 'coached' into them?

That's called a "Sadler."

 

"24-2" is also the answer to the question, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
