Fran has been placid by his standards. I think he knows the jig is up.

Maryland is 4-0 in its last four games against teams with "Corn" in their names. Dec. 12, 2023 — Maryland 105, Alcorn State 65 Jan. 27, 2024 — Maryland 73, Nebraska Cornhuskers 51 Dec. 1, 2024 — Maryland 96, Alcorn State 58 Jan. 19, 2025 — Maryland 69, Nebraska Cornhuskers 66

Oh, and the court sweepers from the Coliseum.

Speaking of Ahron, I'm pretty sure Fred's exact instructions before inserting him into the game were: "OK. Bring the ball up, dribble around for 20 seconds, then toss up an off-balance fadeaway from 13 feet. But don't get fouled. That would be even worse."

I want pep band music only, old ladies in leotards strutting at halftime, and a muffled PA system from the '70s. Bah, humbug.

We finally broke the jinx!!!

"It's 'Riley Rooster'" — Rapheal Davis

I just hope the team's course work hasn't suffered too much, being away from campus for so long.

BTN studio guy was praising "Riley Rooster," so there's that.

The American Keisei Tominaga going off in the fourth quarter of the Gold Medal game.

The most important piece of information: "Frager ... shoots left-handed."

If he can give us 24 strong dakikas and 12 sayı every game, that'll be harika.

Some excerpts: The names — in order — that Hoiberg mentioned as contenders were Utah transfer Rollie Worster, Ahron Ulis, Brice Williams, Sam Hoiberg, Rutgers transfer Gavin Griffiths and Wisconsin transfer Connor Essegian, but Hoiberg raved about Worster’s potential off the top. “I love everything Rollie is all about,” Hoiberg said. “He’s got a chance to be the only Husker ever to score 1,000 points, get 500 rebounds and 500 assists, if he has an OK year he will achieve those numbers. Talking to anybody that’s been around Rollie or played against Rollie, all they say is he does whatever it takes to win. And you can see that. His shot looks really good right now. He’s been working really hard on his shot, and he just does all the little things right.” With that said, though, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Nebraska ultimately runs a system that has multiple ball handlers, just based on the various lineup potentials this squad has. And that’s not just from the point guard perspective but for all five starting spots. “I’m going to have a really tough job when it’s all said and done on who’s going to be the guys that not only start the game, but probably more importantly, who finishes the game,” Hoiberg said. “But that point guard spot, I’ve been pleased with what I’ve seen. And again, the multi-handler system, we’ve got a lot of guys that can initiate the offense.” Other notes: Meah practicing in half-court drills. Frager doing only shooting drills. Live-action in late August, maybe. Mast shooting, not moving, ahead of rehab schedule. Fred makes no apologies for non-con schedule. "We're going to get tested."

Broadcasters late in the game: "The Nebraska star with some great moments late in the game, both offense and defense" Nice.
