Diamondhead Classic 2014

[colhusker]

Typical load of Buffalo Dung with a little Granola and pot mixed in.

[cipsucks]

I actually miss Colorado fans.  The only people I know filled with both pot and hate.

[AuroranHusker]

What a bunch of hosers. Glad those Puffs have the West Coast now, 'cuz they're out there!!

[Ron Mexico]

Here is the bracket. The only way we would meet up with the buffs would be in a 3rd round game since they are in the opposite bracket as us.

[Jadler]

Oh Buffs fans

 

Edit: π posts? I'm done here.

[Norm Peterson]

And what would it cost to go have Christmas in Hawaii?

[49r]

Back to the Buffs for a minute...

 

The odds are fairly slim that we'll meet them in Hawaii, but I thought this was a fairly level-headed article:

Mon 12/22 (#84) Huskers vs (#205) Hawai'i, ESPNU @ 12:00 am cst (Monday Night @ Midnight, CST)

Set your DVR's!

   It should be a good game; despite Hawai'i recently dismissing Head Coach Gib Arnold and Asst HC, Brandyn Akana. One of Hawai'i's key players, Isacc Fotu, from New Zealand also recently left the team to go pro. Fotu is a former teammate of Tai Webster, both playing for New Zealand's National Basketball Team, the 'Tall Blacks,' in the World Cup this past summer.

GBR!

Wichita St. rallied from 11 down with 5:38 to go to beat Alabama 53-52 at home.

Bama had a 51-40 lead.

[Handy Johnson]

Let's win this thing and get the Big Boys back in time for Conference play!

DVRs are for wimps!  Watch it live! This is exactly why they developed those No-Doz truckers' pills. A handful will do the trick.

 

And since Loyola-Wichita is a 10 pm Central start, I'd imagine there's no chance NU-Hawaii actually starts at midnight, right? Probably closer to 12:30 a.m.?

No chance. I don't understand why they would only schedule 2 hrs between games. They know they have to give a 30 minute warmup period too.

Yeah, I supposed they schedule it that way so it looks good on the TV digital guide. It looks better to pretend it's actually going to start at midnight than to put a studio show in the 12:00-12:30 slot on the digital guide.

 

Anyway for those who choose to do the DVR thing, better make sure you add extra time.   Nothing would tick me off more than to sleep through the live broadcast, wake up early the next day to watch it & miss the last few minutes because ESPN wants to pretend a game will start at midnight when it'll probably actually start at 12:30.

I assume Conlees will be open?

[hhcmatt]

If the first round goes as planned, we're playing Wichita St and then the winner of Colorado vs George Washington

[HuskerFever]

Are there any active international members on here? This just might be the best time for Ubel & Company to catch some Husker Hoops!

[BugeaterZ]

Leaving Saturday morning for Honolulu. Can't wait!

[hhcmatt]

Hawaii is going to be a UNO-Incarnate Word type matchup....a fast team that is capable of putting up points quickly. The game will come down to whether or not the Huskers can impart their defensive will. Hawaii is so-so shooting outside so we should be able to get away with packing the paint.  This team hasn't lost a game this year where their Points/Possession was over 1.

hawaii averages 9 steals a game. that's kind of scary given our recent turnover issues.

And if I remember correctly the offficating can be... Ah...uhmmm... Different? I think I will tweet Doc and see if can shead some light on that.

Yeah Doc might have an opinion on that.   I think Coach Miles mentioned on the radio last week that he made sure the officials would be assigned by someone other than U of H, and that he was told they would be Big XII officials ... then he said he wasn't sure that was such a good idea for NU either. 

[HuskerActuary]

Wow, no one in Hawaii's starting lineup is taller than 6'7" or larger than 210 pounds.

Not sure if he will start, but they will get 6'11" sophomore Stefan Jankovic for our game, not to be confused with 6'11" sophomore Stefan Jovanovic who is already coming off the bench.

Will there be much residual impact on Hawai'i  dismissing both their HC, Gib Arnold and Asst HC, Brandyn Akana in Oct; or Isaac Fotu leaving the team to turn Pro?

Maybe to start the year. At this point? Not really.
