Indiana just got better really fast. Great hire by them.

North Carolina could go on to win the tournament but it doesn't change the fact that on Selection Sunday, they should not have made the tournament based on their resume! Nobody is questioning they don't have a talented roster but fact remains, they didn't have enough quality wins to be in the field.

To many empty seats at games

And magically North Carolina's AD is the chair person on the selection committee.

If North Carolina makes it in the tournament without winning the ACC tournament, I'll lose all respect for the selection process. They shouldn't even be in consideration with that resume.

Which makes it even worse that we have gotten this kind of talent and still can't get to the tournament and win 1 game.

He will probably de-commit once he realizes how bad the wi-fi is at PBA.

Gotcha but that is true of most teams. You have to play very good basketball to win. Even teams like North Carolina are very inconsistent so you have to play well or you get beat.

????? This is not true since they have already won 17 games already so clearly there are winnable games.

I agree with everything you said and as I mentioned, this was not aimed at Conner. He was open and let it fly even though we only needed a 2 to win the game. It was an open shot but only thing I didn't like was he was not having a good night shooting. My post was more in general of kids taking ill advised shots in critical times just to be "the man". That shot by Maryland was a horrible shot with game tied and it end up costing them the game. There was no reason to pull up and take a long three in that situation other than you wanted to be the hero. It just makes no sense to me.

Reminded me the Nebraska game with taking a long 3 with way to much time left on the clock. Just makes no sense when players do this other than to get their five minutes of fame on ESPN. This isn't a dig at Conner but just overall observation of how kids play at the end of games in tight situations.

Probably was everyone panicked and there was still plenty of time to get set and get a good shot off try to create something going to the basket. We were only down 1 point and Conner launched this with about 6 seconds on the clock still.

Also, Omaha Biliew and Parker Friedrichen are on their roster as well. They had their chance to be on Nebraska's team this year also.

That is about as good of news as we could hope for.

What depth? We have been playing with on a 7 man rotation for a reason because we don't have much depth.

That is true but for the most part was against very average competition. Will be interesting the rotation now and Gavin will be used if we get in foul trouble.

Valid point and especially if we don't have Berke available during this stretch.

Love the Creighton hated!!!!! Well done...

Totally agree but the Big East is horrible this year. However, we do need CU to win as many games as possible and make it a Q1 road win for us.

How would we know.....

This also set up for a Nebraska vs Creighton rematch as a 7 vs 10 seed in the first round.

Correct. There is no difference from college to pro leagues other than the limitation of how long you can play in college. College now has general managers, athlete salaries, basically salary caps, etc. Kids are staying in school longer to earn a paycheck and can't blame them as lots of them will be set financially for the rest of their lives by playing college sports now.

Well, Nebraska never having won an NCAA Tournament game is factually accurate as well.

Because as long as Nebraska has been playing basketball, that is not a very impressive stat either.
