Creighton (5-1) vs. Nebraska (7-0) Game Thread

[basketballjones]

What’s your guys biggest concerns tomorrow?

 

Mine is either we:

1. We dare them to shoot and they oblige successfully.

2. Mast just can’t replicate DWalker’s success and a Kalkbrenner owns the paint. 
 

I never worry if we’re gonna make shots or not. I just always assume the worst and then I’m typically happily surprised.

Rebounding at both ends of the court. Close-outs on three-balls. Transition defense.

I would say my biggest worry is that we are lax on D and think we can score with them.  Combine that with your #1 and it's a recipe for disaster.

I worry the pace will get quick and we start force things and get out of our offense.

IT'S game day people!!!

I always worry about everything: 1. We won't make open shots. 2. They will make every open shot. 3. Score by first time out will have us behind 22-6. 4. Referees will suck worse than usual and have at least three of our critical players in foul trouble by halftime. 5. Our crowd will begin to stream out with 5 minutes to go. 6. I could go on and on - but I seem to have trouble navigating on HHC this morning and am afraid I may be having a small stroke, so I'll quit.

Is it too early to start tailgaiting? 

 

 

 

Or, perhaps more accurately, was 5:29 a.m. too early to start tailgaiting? Asking for a friend.

Pomeroy has this as his #1 "Thrill Score" game of the day.

[Huskerpapa]

I worry that they get white hot and everything they throw up, goes in.

As a smart guy once said, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

The only thing they throw up is breakfast, while they're receiving an ass whoopin'.

I'm dressed in all black today.  Have a feeling our defense wins this game.  GBR!

Question, do I go with a Boise State Broncos hoodie or my Army hoodie?

[cipsucks]

Kent on the radio broadcast said this rivalry is as big, if not bigger then the Nebraska/Oklahoma rivalry.  I differ in one aspect:  NU/OU rivalry was based on mutual respect.  NU/CU is based on hatred.
