It works as long as you know you're in on the joke

Seems to be a pretty demanding schedule this year

It was for most of the second half, but it was still a 5 point game with 2 minutes to go in the first FWIW. If CU shoots anywhere close to what they usually do from 3 it's a larger final margin for sure.

Things you should count on:

- everyone will die

- 100% consensus is nearly impossible

- the weather in Nebraska will be different tomorrow 

- Creighton will always shoot well versus the Huskers...

Even the game we dominated them in Lincoln a couple years ago, they shot over 40% from 3 (Ballock was 7-10 lol). We just shot 52% from 3 which is still flat out insane to me.

On Opening 'Day,' B1G went 12-0!

The B1G was perfect yesterday and the closest call was Wisconsin's 10 point win over Eastern Illinois.

Troy Machir on Twitter: "This is the first time since December 1986 that three Big Ten teams not named Indiana, Michigan or MSU are ranked in the AP Top 5 in the same week. 12/16/86: #2 Purdue, #3 Iowa, #5 Ill. 11/30/20: #3 Iowa, #4 Wisky, #5 Ill." / Twitter

Why do tweets not show up as tweets anymore?

 

At least not for me.

Looks like my Wednesday list of things to do is complete. When will I find time to make my annual batch of Oyster Dressing Pontchartrain now?? 

Do you have a recipe for this?

[49r]

I don't know, @Norm Peterson the tweets still embed for me:

 

 

Maybe you should try upgrading from Netscape and see if that helps.  

[jimmykc]

Norm: Yes, I do. I will message you with details tomorrow if you like. Ingredients include 1# Jimmy Dean sausage, pecan halves (2 cups), 4 small cans oysters, sauteed onions and celery, day old bread  and seasonings. If you like oysters it is quite tasty and goes well with cranberry sauce.Can stuff into turkey or cook separately which we usually do. Just finished the last of it for lunch.

Minnesota gets a huge 3 pointer with 3 seconds left to beat KenPom #151 Loyola Marymount 67-64.  It was a little bit like the Nebraska-Nevada game in reverse.

 

If the game had gone to Overtime Minnesota may have had trouble getting the win, they had three big men foul out.

Nevada moved to 3-0 last night.  They have a 2 game stand with San Francisco starting this week.  USF was the team that beat Virginia.  If they manage to win those two, they could get to around 7-2, 8-1, or 9-0 before heading to their first conference road game series.

 

They are in a league that will play two back to back games in the same place.  They actually start off conference playing @New Mexico and @SDSU in back to back trips.

One last note... Big one today for the B1G as MSU takes on Duke at Cameron.  

[49r]

Lots of action around the country already today, let's look at some results for teams on our schedule:

 

Game	Prediction	Time (ET)	Location	Thrill Score	Come back	Excite ment
9 Texas 66, 14 Indiana 44 [67]  MVP: Brock Cunningham (6p/11r/4a/3s)	Texas 69-68 (53%)	box  win prob	Asheville, NC Harrah's Cherokee Center	78.7 1	0	0.82
17 Creighton 94, 201 Nebraska Omaha 67 [75]  MVP: Christian Bishop (18p/8r/1s)	Creighton 84-64 (96%)	box  win prob	Omaha, NE CHI Health Center Omaha	17.5 22	2	-0.14
8 Wisconsin 82, 267 Green Bay 42 [66]  MVP: Tyler Wahl (11p/15r/4a/2b/2s)	Wisconsin 87-62 (99%)	box	Madison, WI Kohl Center	12.1 26
32 Purdue 93, 298 Oakland 50 [64]  MVP: Sasha Stefanovic (20p/1r/7a)	Purdue 85-62 (98%)	box  win prob	West Lafayette, IN Mackey Arena	11.5 27	1	-0.15

 

 

Texas beats the brakes off Indiana, causing the Hoosiers to drop 12 spots in KenPom.  Texas was only favored by 1 but ended up winning by 22.  

 

The other result that pops out to me is Purdue laying an absolute beatdown on Oakland (who just took Michigan to overtime a couple of days ago).

MSU going to knock off Duke...

[hskr4life]

B1G 32-3.  Losses to Texas, Clemson, and Nevada.

 

Picked up a huge win over Duke for the conference.

Outside of MSU’s win over Duke, it feels like the Big10 hasn’t fared too well in games against tougher competition.

Must be rough losing to an in-state Big East team that supports your football program...

[throwback]

Can't imagine it's going to last but I've been saying that since tip-off and so far it's lasting ... N Dakota St 51, Kansas 51 - 9 1/2 minutes to play

They played Creighton tough for a while too.
