I always sell the tickets if I can’t make a game. I assumed they were Iowa fans because I sold them for triple what I normally have 10 days before the game. I just want people in the building spending money and occupying a seat

 

1. Sell to Husker fans.

2. Eat em.......

.....

9,999. Use them as TP.

10,000. Sell them to Creighton and or Iowa fans.

I remember the year after the tourney bid and a friend asked me how could we have won so many games last year and we are losing them this year.

 

I told him, I thought we were the exact same team, but we had a player make an incredible amount of shots that most defensive teams are willing to allow...you look like a genius when those shots go in, but you look pedestrian when they don't fall.

Lets get this back to the topic where it is simply a myth that Smith is better XO guy than Miles.  Fascinating.  

 

Yeah, that's quite a theory, let's discuss.... Nebraska had its best run in a long, long time winning 10 of 12 to get to the Big Dance in 2014, then fell off the face of the earth the very next season sans Smith. Interesting......

That's also a real thought in regards to shot-making to coaching "ability"... Making buckets sure can make a coach look super smart & savvy. Miss 'em and you look like hot garbage. It's a make or miss league, as it is. Drawing up plays & out of bounds sets is a big part of winning & losing, however, in the Big Ten.

I also thought that when Doc Sadler was here...I thought his offense created a lot of open looks...and it seemed we could never knock them down.

 

That can be recruiting, confidence, overworking the kids so they don't have legs or another reason I am not thinking of.

Doc was a master at running sets. NU couldn't make enough of 'em. Huskers guarded its opponents like total beasts, though. Sadler was a pretty decent coach who fits in better at a mid-major program. B1G requires high-level talent at enough spots to be dangerous.

Brandon Richardson was a really good shooter before he took 5,000 charges in practice over the course of five years.

Utah St up 34-32 at half over San Diego St in Mt West final.

 

Heck of a first season for Smith at USU - regular season co-champs, possible postseason champs, and an NCAA berth coming.

 

Arop has had a nice first half for SDSU - 6 pts I think, played maybe 8-10 minutes.

Noticed he's gotten more PT over Chang. Chang hasn't played a lot. Curious as to why

Yeah, noticed that too. I think Arop just plays such solid defense, can switch anything, rebounds hard, that kind of fits the SDST playing style maybe better than Chang right now.  Honestly thought Chang going to SDST was always a little weird, he doesn't seem like he fits what they do.

 

Kind of interesting Tre'Shawn Thurman is having a nice year at Nevada - just an odd collection of Omaha kids all on teams near the top of the Mt West at the same time ... and Smith isn't coaching any of them.

Bracket Matrix has USU as a #9 seed, so a chance they'll be matched up with Iowa or Minnesota. Another good reason to root against the Chickens and/or Jackwagons.

 

Smith can surely draw on that 10-11 minutes he spent as a (sort of) head coach in the NCAA Tournament, so that should help USU. Plus Karl Hess is no longer officiating games, so that's helpful for Smith. (To be fair, that's kind of an advantage for all fans/players/coaches.)

Unfortunately, Ted Valentine keeps getting games.
