Creighton at Nebraska - Saturday, December 8 - Hopefully it's a night game

The "sigh...alright" really is the greatest part. The sheer frustration

Yes. Thibodeau said a couple weeks ago that Patton would more than likely miss the fall due to additional foot injuries.

2:00 pm on ESPNU. Excited to see how they both do.

How many of those seasons had a roster as talented as this one tho?

Making the NCAA tourney and winning a game is the definition of a successful season for this program. Anything more than that is gravy (that I'd also gladly take).

I'm aware I'm in the minority on this opinion and always have been...but I've honestly never cared if you like the football team but not the basketball team because who am I to say who you can or can't root for? I don't agree with it, but I don't care if you do it. Maybe it's because I'm around a lot of fans here in Omaha that do just that. Grew up going to Husker football games, but Creighton bball games instead of Husker bball games. A lot of grade schools (especially parochial schools) here in Omaha give out free Creighton tickets to students and it makes them grow up liking Creighton bball. Are they just supposed to flip the switch and hate them if they also like the football team, or end up attending UNL? Again...I don't agree with it...but I can understand why it happens.

It's easily Creighton. The hate is real between each fan base, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I compare our rivalry with Creighton to the Xavier Cincinnati rivalry. Both are also in different conferences, but if you asked each fan base who they their rival is they would say each other.

LSU and Mississippi State are the only SEC teams I root for to make it to Omaha just because of their great fan bases who come to party at the tailgates. Give me MSU with at least one of Tennessee Tech or Stetson to mix it up a little this year.

Based on the game last night, the Warriors know how to guard Korver too so I agree that he isn't going to be as serviceable this series either. Especially since he can't guard Klay at all. Hopefully he gets his shot going for the rest of this series. I just can't stand watching JR do his signature 4 crossover dribbles then fade away shot much more.

Also I have to give Lue a little bit of criticism. Why....is....JR....playing...so....many....minutes? Offense is atrocious and giving nothing on D = bench. Put Green or Korver in more.

What was crazy to me was how different it looked between real time and slow motion. Real time you think it's a charge all day, but slow mo you can see Lebron is kind of dipping his shoulder a little and isn't quite set, but the fact that even slow motion was kind of subjective I don't think you can just overturn that call. Officiating has been awful the entire playoffs unfortunately.

Any insight on these circumstances? Seems pretty hush hush on all fronts.

I could be completely wrong, but something still feels off to me about this whole Gates situation. I just find it hard to believe he realized he didn't like Florida after a couple weeks of courting recruits for them and quits his job. Again, I am probably wrong, but just very odd to me.
