I saw that the "Missing Bo" topic was posted in the Hardwood section, so I assumed you were talking about Bo Spencer...

In some circles the Ospreys are known as the "birds of trey"

Just win. I don’t care how ugly it is, how lucky we get, etc. Any win we walk away with is a good win all things considered.

Sorry for switching gears but I miss Bo Games decided by single digits at Nebraska Bo Pelini 20-11 Bill Callahan 10-7 Mike Riley 7-10 Scott Frost 5-22 Matt Rhule 2-10 Now it’s really officially Nebrasketball Season North Florida beat Georgia Tech and South Carolina already and they can score it offensively. Must come to play tomorrow #GBR Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t miss his surly behavior at all.

Either of them sound like these players are over the age of 50. "Don't sneeze, you might pull your hip flexor."

The best three point shooting team in the country made their average (14), which is more than they made when they won at Georgia Tech and at South Carolina, and we still won by 31. Checked a lot of boxes tonight. The first two conference games are winnable. Lock in, boys.

Connor looks more comfortable every game. Legit has totally accepted his role.

Need to send Greg Gard a thank you card. Maybe a little gift basket too.

The broadcast just showed Berke and Mast talking on the bench and my mind wandered to next year. My mouth was like one of Pavlov’s dogs hearing a bell.

NU - 82 MSU - 71 13

Groin strain sounds a lot better than a hip flexor.

NU 82 MSU 70 12

We seemed to score at ease. I still cannot tell if it was good offense or poor defense or a combination of both. I liked our ball movement and Uhlis made several excellent passes in the pick and roll.

It was suppose to be 2021. A typo in the game notes.

Gavin— to me— screams one of those guys from our past who seems to completely grow as he matures in our system. The nice thing is that usually we would need those guys to be “the man” NOW. This year, we can let him grow into his role and not have to force him to do too much. I hope he sticks around.

Hoping the team with Jay in it loses

I haven't looked myself, but without looking what was the last game we scored 100+? Was it Mississippi Valley State back in 2018?

Distributing the ball in the 2nd half. 8 assists on 8 makes. Can't do much better than that. Gavin has given us good minutes today. Now, needs to make some shots and get some confidence.

Love these stats you drop. Thanks!

The record for 3pt attempts by an opponent is 46 by Doane. UNF already has 22 attempts

I'm more entertained with that show than any other entertainment.

Broadcast says he lost a contact. Showed a manager grabbing a new one too.

You can’t count on that shot from Ulis, but you love it when it goes in!

Some that they sent making shots but they looked terribly tired or maybe don’t care to be here or ate too much over the last 4 days. but no hustle no fire just kinda showed up. now they go on a 20 point run and I look dumber than I usually am.

So basically be Iowa?

I think that report is just speculating from post game

The B1G availability report for today's game has yet to be released

More importantly, what does the 7th place trophy for that tournament look like? Asking for a certain sweater-vested co-worker that I'm going to see tomorrow.

I thought it was Bo Diddley.

Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-1) vs North Florida Ospreys (5-2) Date: Sunday Dec 1, 2024 Time: 3:00 pm Arena: PBA Broadcast: BTN North Florida Info Head Coach: Matthew Driscoll (15th year) Location: Jacksonville, Florida Conference: Atlantic Sun Nickname: Ospreys Mascots: Ozzie Osprey Rotation Depth: 9 Last time out: Defeated SIUE Opening Line: Nebraska by 16.5 Nota bene: This is the first meeting between North Florida an Nebraska. Nebraska is 7-0 all-time vs ASUN opponents North Florida is a relatively new university, having been formed in 1965. Their basketball program started in 1992 and current coach Matthew Discoll is their 4th head coach in school history An osprey is a large fish-eating bird of prey. Because North Florida is known for shooting 3s under Driscoll, North Florida is often referred to as the "Birds of Trey" Senior Forward Nate Lliteras is from Seward, Nebraska. His brother Noah Lliteras was a basketball manager for Nebraska under both Tim Miles and Fred Hoiberg In the last 5 seasons UNF has finished in the top 15 in 3pt attempt percentage. Conversely, during that time they've ranked in the top 15 of 3pt attempt percentage allowed as they focus on running their opponents off the 3pt line Player to watch: Josh Harris At 6'8" 210 lbs, Harris is one of the largest players for the Ospreys. The freshman stretch 4 slots in at center for the Ospreys and leads the team in scoring and rebounding. Harris is one of the team's few inside threats though he'll occasionally pop a 3. The freshman post can be foul prone. Will look to hit a hook shot in the paint after a fake on some post feeds. Player to watch: Jaylen Smith The 5'11" pg isn't a very good 3pt shooter, hitting at 30.6% after 29.5% last year. Backup pg Ametri Moss rarely shoots 3s.

The formula for the Ospreys is very simple: keep firing 3s. If you thought Creighton taking 42 3s was a bit much, North Florida already has games where they've taken 41 and 42. Last season they had a game with 50 3s taken. They'll take them in transition, behind screens, from NBA range, and even covered. Nebraska is used to doubling a post player but this team barely has one. We'll see if Nebraska will run anything different on defense today. We'll find out how playable someone like Braxton Meah is against this sort of team. It's possible that Cale Jacobsen might be a better fit at center today. It might be a Andrew Morgan day. Defensively, the Ospreys will try and run you off the 3pt line but offer little resistance inside. If he can stay on the court, Braxton Meah might take a run at his game dunk record of 8. As long as Nebraska as the transition covered, there will be offensive rebounds to be had. North Florida will mix in some 1-3-1 zone to keep you guessing but Nebraska should score a bunch in this game. I'm skeptical that Nebraska will put this team away as they've yet to really show up against lesser opponents. Given a Sunday afternoon crowd and the ability of UNF to go on runs, it might be a nerve-racking afternoon. Prediction: Nebraska 91 - North Florida 75 View full article

Nebraska - 86 North Florida - 72

typically based on the previous game starters

I know some may disagree, but the use of pepper spray here was, I believe, justified. The situation was completely out of control, a few people including law enforcement were on the ground getting trampled, and the teams needed to be separated. But hey, I’m glad captains probably shook hands at the coin toss.

The biggest criticism of Bo was "He can't win the big ones." So what's common amongst all five of these coaches: couldn't win the big ones. At least Bo could win all the others. There once was a stat where Pelini held company only with Nick Saben and Chip Kelly for most consecutive 9-win seasons. Good company to be around.

Feels like the conference won’t have that Purdue team like we have had last couple years but will be deeper with a lot of teams on the same tier as far as talent. Don’t really see a team that stands out right now as conference champion.

You rang?

24 assists to 12 turnovers is going to get you a lot of wins. That’s pretty impressive.
