Yep, I got ya. Wasn't accusing. Just my way of also complaining about the complainers

The usual kind of jeering and yelling us old timers like to do is fine, it's the football people and younger guys who just like to scream or be boobirds.

One of my pet peeves again is the inconsistency.  They held and slapped the entire 1st half, and the refs seemed to swallow the whistle.  The 2nd half we were in the bonus within 5 minutes.  I understand Duquesne's frustration.  It was not a foul in the 1st half, but is in the 2nd half?

Last 7 - 0 start was 1992-93

Floppy was fun to hate.  Loved it.  

 

That said, excellent second half.  They were a feisty bunch who went toe to toe with us.  A good win against a good team.

Back when there was zero incentive to schedule tough.

Also referred to as Doc Sadler nonconference scheduling.

This game just showed the arsenal we have with this roster. So many different skills that compliment each other. It reminds me of the 09-10 season but the players are better and we aren't reminded constantly that Lance Jeter played football at Cincinnati

90 % from the line is really really really nice to see

If we're lucky one might just flop into the boat

You must be in a dry spell because we can't lose this season

Fellas, don’t hate me. But sometimes it seems like Bryce isn’t going 100% out there….maybe it’s just his body language/posture

He has a serious affect, it's not that he isn't trying... far from it, he's just such a smooth operator. Brice Williams is a nice player. Maybe he needs to get a bit more nasty, maybe somebody tell him that a C.U. dude stole his girl.

Crazy that both TOs happened in the 1st three minutes of the ballgame, too. I usually am irritated by the sloppy turnovers throughout the contest, but tonight I could concentrate my efforts by being irritated by Floppy McFloppyerson !

After starting 2-4, NU finished 26-27. I'd say it happened... wow. That was something else.

At which positions?

 

Returning players with starting experience:

 

6-10 Rienk Mast

6-6 Juwan Gary

6-7 Brice Williams

6-5 CJ Wilcher

6-3 Jamarques Lawrence

6-2 Sam Hoiberg

 

Exhausted eligibility:

 

6-7 Josiah Allick

6-5 Boogie Coleman

6-2 Keisei Tominaga

 

So, maybe grab 1 each at the positions of the guys we're for sure losing?

If it is me and all those guys come back. I go for a combo guard who can get buckets and a high energy guy like Josiah. Hopefully Rice and Matar are ready next year (think Rice is ready now if needed)

Jeez...we are 6-0 and playing tomorrow to go 7-0.  Why oh why are we talking about next year

Force of habit I suppose.  I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen the Rock Bottom thread rear its ugly head.

Creightons only lost one game.  No sense in them brining it out yet.  At least wait until they lose to us too.

[75unlgrad]

Beside Rice and Diop, we also have Ahron Ulis (transfer point guard from Iowa) on our roster and he will be eligible next year.  He'll bring three year's experience playing in the BIG 10 conference plus a redshirt year learning our system.

Nebraska doing so well no one is bringing up the godawful ref crew of guys that didn't get to go to tropical tournament locations

Well, first of all, I always think it’s OK to talk about next year. Having said that, it was @basketballjones’ fault. He started it.
