March Madness 2023

[The Polish Rifle]

Freakin’ Kstate. Located in the middle of nowhere, share the state with THE CBB blue blood. Last 3 coaches were 1. Asst w/ no HC experience. 2. Fired P5 coach 3. Asst w/ no HC experience. All 3 of those coaches took them to the Elite 8…how we haven’t fallen ass backwards into a tournament win by now amazes me.

And getting paid $2.1M vs. Hoiberg's $3.5M (obviously just for base, not including incentives).

Honestly though… the difference between them and us THIS year May have literally been someone’s medical opinions.  #Cursed

 

I do think KSU shows you shouldn’t worry about what’s on the other side.  Could be no grass, could be the same grass, could be greener grass.  However, you can’t be scared of what it is.  Don’t settle because you might get worse grass.

Gonzaga— that’s a HUGEEEEE choke job.

Johnson probably could have gotten us to the tournament but the reason Kstate is an Elite 8 team is Nowell. Holy hell is that kid on a heater.

I don't feel as bad about our loss to the Wildcats now. And our first half against the Spartans shows how close we are to finally winning a tournament game. And I do agree with Izzo that some pretty lucky shots were game changers last night. Now K-State looks to have a pretty straight shot to make the final four.

For the Big 10 sucks in March crowd.  Big 10 got terrible seeds overall.  Purdue and IU were big flops for sure.  Everyone else pretty much over performed.

I get the metrics, but this is not a great look.

Rooting for Xavier this weekend to get to the final 4. If they made it and Creighton doesn't,  it would make Creighton the only current Big East team without an appearance in the final 4.

Was it worth it, Nate Oats? Was it?

Creighton’s path to a national championship is getting all too real

LETS GO TIGERS!!!

Bama just in the wrong place at the wrong time tonight.

[HuskerFever]

This is a weird game to watch. Going into halftime I thought "Creighton salvaged their half" and then "Princeton salvaged their half". Quite the swing of runs at the end of the half. Probably goes down to who loses steam first.

[HuskerBB]

Maybe this has been asked already - but how in the HE!! does DJ Carstenson get to ref an NCAA tournament game??   Do they have no standards at all??

If I was in charge of putting out click-bait articles, the headline would read:

"College Basketball World Reacts to Terrible Creighton News"

 

The entirety of the article would be:

"Creighton team plane lands safely."

 

[HuskerFever]

Can't control who you play. Impressive run nonetheless.

Unfortunately my futures bet on Creighton is looking good.  I was hoping they’d lose tonight.

I threw up in my mouth more than just a little. Oh well we still beat them at home.

 

[Huskerpapa]

Don't like and hate to say it, but man, they are playing well and only 8 teams can say this...they have a chance to win it all.  Good job.   Gag.

[FredsSlacks]

this program doesn't deserve the fan support it gets.

 

creighton in the elite 8 with their best player being from Aurora Nebraska

 

k-state in the elite 8 with their best player being someone who we wouldn't let come here

 

gonzaga in the elite 8 with a player from omaha who made the winning assist against ucla, and openly chose to be a bench player at gonzaga over being a starter at nebraska.

 

san diego st- in elite 8. arop from omaha is one of their top bench players.

 

the NU athletic department probably has more money than all these schools combined. absolutely no excuse to have the worst power 5 basketball program in history.
