So...How do so many HHC members know what songs the bluejays use... when you only need to attend one of their home games every other year?

Except we didn't run that much motion offense this past year. Hopefully as the players are here longer they will be more effective in that system and they can spend more time in the motion. Perception vs. Reality...we certainly run the motion offense, but we run a lot of set plays as well. "Petteway, who transferred from Texas Tech, is scoring 18 points a game in Miles' motion offense and was named first-team all-conference." http://msn.foxsports.com/college-basketball/story/tim-miles-popularity-soaring-among-nebraska-fans-031014 http://bigstory.ap.org/article/tim-miles-popularity-soaring-among-nebraska-fans http://www.syskos.com/product/333/motionoffense http://www.dailynebraskan.com/sports/basketball/article_ef73556a-5f94-11e2-8937-0019bb30f31a.html The perception is we run a lot of motion, the reality is we don't. We certainly run some motion but without breaking down all the game tapes I would feel safe saying well OVER 50% of the time on offense we are NOT in a motion. When we needed a bucket, Miles was calling a set, but most coaches want more control at those times.

I mean... it is Bleacher Report.

One of my favorite prospects along with Bryant Crawford and Morrow

It will be on MONDAY at 4:30 p.m. and TUESDAY at 9 p.m.

This is a great example of an overhyped headline and a need to write some sort of column. The preseason "best sixth man in college basketball"???? At this point it is impossible to predict whether Leslee will even be the best sixth man on the NU team.

In order for our motion offense to be as explosive as possible, we need 4-5 guys on the floor that can knock down perimeter jumpers. I'm sure Tai realizes his ticket to minutes requires a signs ant improvement in that area. I would expect him to make a significant jump in year two (as long as he doesn't have more confidence issues). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not really. They take a shotgun approach to recruiting and offer pretty much anybody in the top 150 whether they have a legit shot at him or not, so chances are whoever we have in for a visit, they've already offered that person too. It makes sense that if a guy is coming to Lincoln to visit he might as well swing by Creighton while he's in the area. Gotta say it's worked pretty well for them so far, but one questions how well McDermott can get his random pieces to fit together. I like our approach better. It seems that Miles is more concerned about team chemistry than player rankings. Having all that said, I was surprised to see us get him in for a visit. Hopefully he'll come away happy with what he sees.

I think Cinderella Man by Eminem would be a nice fit but that's just me.

I hope it's improved his explosiveness and his quicks. Not that he was slow or unexplosive before, but just adding weight for the sake of adding weight usually just benefits centers and offensive linemen. The other thing is that, along with all the effort he would have obviously had to put in while working out, I hope he's put in that much or more work improving his shot. I know there was a blurb that he and Petteway were doing a lot of shooting, but working on your shot involves more than just doing a bunch of shooting. The old adage was "practice makes perfect." But Jack Nicklaus always said "Practice makes permanent; only perfect practice makes perfect." It's not enough to just go in there and shoot and shoot and shoot if what you're doing only serves to reinforce bad habits.

As see it, NU has the better practice facility, CU the better arena. Couldn't disagree more. PBA is much nicer than Century Link; the Railyard area also trumps the area right around Century Link. Other than a couple thousand more really crappy seats, I have no idea how Century Link could be considered the better arena.

Pretty cool video one of my friends put together using some go pro footage. Best sporting event I've ever been to.
