When commenting about the Southern game Miles said we were playing small" in order to match up with them. We were at home playing a team that was basically paid big bucks to come in and lose to us and we go "small" to match up with them? How about we play our bigs and let them try to match up with us? Tsimanga had 6 points and 5 boards in 14 minutes. Projected to 30 minutes he would have had 13 points and 11 rebounds. Morrow had 8 points and 3 boards and 1 block in 17 minutes. Over 30 minutes that projects to 14 points, 5 boards and 2 blocks. Those stats merit more minutes not less. Neither had foul problems so it was a coaches decision to bench them. i am amazed that Miles felt the need to "match up" to Southern who had a 4-7 record with wins coming against Tennessee Tech, Paul Quinn, Florida A and M and Ecclesia College! As to Horne's breakout game and previous lack of playing time due to defensive deficiencies per Miles I would never sit a guy who was hustling but struggling on D if I thought he would out score the guy he's guarding. Simple math In my opinion.

"...McCaffery’s postgame reaction was different from Bohannon’s. Now, McCaffery did tell ESPN’s Jeff Goodman on Wednesday that he regretted what happened after the game and that he texted an apology to Jones afterward. “I feel bad about it. I have a lot of respect for Brian Jones,” McCaffery told ESPN. “I wish it didn’t happen. I wish I shook hands. … But again, I think Brian Jones is a high-character guy and a heck of a coach. Assistant Jeff Horner is one of the best players ever to play here. I shouldn’t have done it. I feel terrible about what happened.” McCaffery is a fiery, emotional guy. That is part of it. The end of the game impacted him and it was still visible well after everything cooled down..." Land of Ten The point of my responses is to refute the statement that what happened was "fake news." This is real news, and it says a lot about the character of a man who is supposed to be teaching his kids. In this article it stated one of Coach Fran's players went up to apologize to a ND player for his actions in earning a technical. To blame the opposing teams when both teams were chippy is wrong. To throw up your hands at the end of a game and sulk off the court in a huff, is wrong. It is simply another example of behavior that should not be tolerated and should have resulted in some sort of reprimand by the Big Ten hierarchy. Husker fans lived with a coach that sometimes displayed that same boorish behavior. It was not right when he did it, and it isn't right when Coach Fran does it.

Is Iowa City east of Omaha? Just wondering? Merry Chirstmas everybody.

At least we beat them at that.

how was washington an 8 seed?

Didn't the scout say that Kansas didn't shoot a lot of trey's?

Funny how opinions change after a guy has a good game.
