Just looked at the NCAA's official RPI rankings. Updated today. And Wisconsin Green Bay is the #1 team in all the land!!! (According to the NCAA's computers anyway.) Yay them!!! Now, can someone explain this to me? 4-2 Wisc-GB boasts wins over East Carolina, Evansville, FGCU, and Miami while posting 24 point losses to both Wisconsin and ... Georgia ... State. And they're #1, ahead of 8-0 Kentucky, 8-0 Duke, 8-0 Arizona, etc. I mean, WTF?

Sorry in advance for "place-dropping" (Despite occasionally getting lucky, I am fully aware that I am still a douche at the end of the day), but I had an opportunity to go to the KU-Florida game in Lawrence Friday night. 3rd row seats behind the Florida bench. Excellent vantage point for the game and Donovan. Some Observations: --Donovan was pretty calm. Intense but calm. Smaller dude than I would have expected. Oozed "I am pretty cool and have some game". --KU is EXTREMELY proud of its tickets: $125 for most, $100 nosebleeds. Seriously. That is double the price of a Husker football game (don't go there). $4.50 for a bottle of water. I realize KU has to get the money from basketball, but those prices are unbelievable. $250 a game for a couple to attend? $200 a game for the bad seats? That is a serious financial commitment. --Atmosphere is unbelievable. Wisconsin game x 2; normal Husker game x 10. Decibel meter on the scoreboard to gauge the noise. Student section brings it. I wish our student section could take in a game there. Not bagging on them at all, but they could learn some things from them, and I mean that positively. Hard to describe how incredible it is in that place, especially pregame. --KU female "talent" is also ridiculous. We are way behind in that department. Simply amazing. Norm, you would have been impressed. --I didn't see wings on either team as good as what we have. The glaring difference is in the bigs. Guys with size who are also incredibly athletic. Walt was wise to transfer. Don't think he would be getting a lot of minutes. KU's big frosh Cliff Alexander looks like he has some room to improve his body, but what a lump of clay to work with. Great stroke, went 8-8 from the line. Guards for both teams are SO quick. Ankle-breaking moves. Different level of hoops in this game; the talent difference with us is still pretty glaring. Except at the wings; I believe both Shavon and Terran would be getting major minutes at both places. No one else. --Florida led by 15 at half and it could have been more. It didn't feel like there was any way KU would come back, and they not only did that, they won comfortably down the stretch. Great to see another place with 2 quality teams going at it.

Without Doug McDermott to draw attention away from 3 pt shooters, the job falls to Chatman and SG Devin Brooks. Creighton is probably at their best when a big man is able to touch the ball. If Chatman can't deliver, it's going to be a long day for the Jays. The Skinny There are two things Tim Miles hasn't done during his first two years at Nebraska: Win a NCAA tournament game or beat Creighton. Miles picked the wrong first two years to beat the Jays as his outgunned team lost at home two years ago and the senior heavy McBuckets squad demolished the Huskers last year. Regardless, he's been very vocal about a desire for this to be a rivalry game. The media eats up his occasional jabs at the Jays, which lets the guys in Omaha get the message loud and clear. Year 3 of the Tim Miles era has the Huskers favored for the first time vs. the Jays. While a highly touted Husker squad has gotten off to a slow start, Greg McDermott brings the worst shooting squad of his time at Creighton for their first look at a hostile Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Huskers will have at least the two best players on the court and it's a game Nebraska should win. The Jays are a team still trying to find themselves. They're not shooting quite as much from long range and instead are attacking the rim and sometimes working the ball inside. Creighton has more big bodies than the Huskers but none of them are elite and certainly not better than the front court of the Seminoles. It's certainly possible that the Jays get hot from outside for the first time all year but more than likely they need to win the FT battle, Nebrasketball-style to pull this out. The Huskers win by being patient as the Jays will once again pack the paint and dare the Nebraska to shoot from outside. Expect a lower scoring game as the Husker will want to play their game and Creighton isn't willing to dictate style. Nebraska almost certainly wins this game and will look to start it's own winning streak in the series. Prediction: Nebraska 68 - Creighton 58 with a 65% chance of Runzas.

Sorry to break it to you but I just got off the hype train and I am back from the future...we already won.

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!!!

I would be very opposed to that. Not national anthem decorum at all. If Jayfan wants to disrespect that, I guess that is Jayfan's business, but it should not be emulated.
