Fair. How much do you think McDermott was paying players at Wayne State when he beat Miles and SW Minnesota State 7 times back in the day? I’m sure someone has a source.

Does Kenpom account for one coach owning real estate in another coach's head?

Good point. I'd like those match-ups a lot better.

Here's my take on potential assignments: Glynn - Mintz Palmer - Ty-Shon Allen - Ballock Copeland - Jefferson Roby - Krampelj That's assuming Creighton uses their starting lineup they've been using. With that lineup we have a pretty significant size advantage with Palmer and Copeland, so I could see them maybe starting one of their 7 footers instead of Jefferson who's only 6'5" and having Krampelj move over to the 4. To be honest I don't trust Allen guarding Ty-Shon or Ballock, so I just went with Palmer guarding their best player simply because of experience purposes, even tho JP has left a lot to be desired defensively as of late. Thoughts?

I, for one, am very happy Omaha is nothing like New York or Chicago.

Added to the fact that they're now a part of what many pundits would consider a "power" conference for basketball. I never had much vitriol for them no matter how good they were when they were in the Missouri Valley.

Now that I have never heard of before. A team within the same conference? That is unreal.

This is exactly how my friends in Omaha are. They even went to UNL, but grew up going to Creighton bball games here in Omaha so have more of a devotion to Creighton bball than Nebraska bball. They'll cheer heavily on Husker football Saturdays for Big Red, but won't clap to the fight song this coming Saturday while we're at the game and they're wearing blue. I give them a hard time, but I also realize I can't make them like a different team just because of where they went to college. Nevertheless, it's a fun rivalry and I love it.

No. Just like the committee wouldn't go down the RPI rankings list in years past and seed by rank, they won't do for the NET. I agree with @hhcmatt I think we'd be in the 4-6 range if it started today.

I'm more worried about Aamir Simms, a super athletic shot blocker just like Tariq Owens from St. John's/Texas Tech who has given us problems.

If it ain't broke don't fix it

Palmer has NBA on the brain

I definitely agree with you guys that there's smoke there. No question. And I'm not saying Dawkins didn't lie. I have no idea what those calls pertained. I was just more bothered by the fact our fans keep saying "he said it under oath" when what he said under oath doesn't mean anything. If Dawkins took the stand that's a different story.

Bowen received the offer from Dawkins. DAWKINS. How many of this fan base on this board/twitter/wherever are going to make the mistake of thinking Bowen got an offer directly from Murphy/McDermott/Creighton according to his sworn testimony? Bowen said that Dawkins told him that Creighton was making that offer and that Murphy would supply it. That's all that was said under oath. We have no clue if Dawkins was lying to Bowen or not that's the scenario.

There aren’t any wire tapes that would pin Creighton. The FBI started bugging Dawkins in July after all of this happened.
