Purdue, yes. Illinois, no. I am weary of thugs in sneakers winning games. For that reason, I was glad to see Duke beat Houston.

- A defender's freedom to grab and push and hand check would stop.
- An offensive player's freedom to initiate contact and have the defender called for a foul would stop.
- A rebounder's freedom to push an opponent out of the way and jump over backs would stop.
- Moving screens would stop.
- A referee's freedom to perform badly without public scrutiny would stop.
 
I say this because I dislike thug basketball and that is what is being rewarded in the current scheme of things.

Perhaps someone more skilled at getting video shots could put this moment up but at about the 17 minute mark in the 2nd half, a TA&M player absolutely RUNS OVER KT sending him flying to the floor. The ref is trailing the play. How he could have missed that is mind boggling. I know it was just one play but it was indicative of how this game was, and other games are, played. The frustration of that no call is what I believe caused KT to get T'd up later AND what led to Gary jawing with the A&M bench later on and getting a T. Nothing but admiration for the athletic abilities of the A&M players but this kind of basketball without consequence is bad for the game. There are plenty of contact sports like football and hockey. Please, somebody, rescue basketball from this.

This seems like a no-brainer Williams has done a terrific job molding the team into this year's NCAA tournament squad. They were just a breath away from beating Iowa TWICE this year. They had a great run in the B1G tournament. Some success in the NCAA tournament should shout to a lot of talented players that Nebraska is a great place to place basketball. I expect good things going forward.
 
One thing this seems to say is that the Huskers are not very concerned about this lawsuit that is out there.

Here at home with the wife. Watching via YouTubeTV. Meatballs, little smokies and veggie tray with dip. My wife is unreasonably health conscious. Jug of Mt Dew to offset it. GBR!

I would WELCOME having my bracket busted by a Bluejay loss!!!

If we could just get them into a P5 conference then, after Friday, THEY would be only ones without a win! 😀

Wondering if KT will get grabbed and pushed and tripped like usual or will the refs let him play basketball?

I have Nebraska Beating Houston, Purdue & North Carolina on our way to cutting down the Nets. If you’re gonna be a Bear, be a Grizzly. 

Took our guys all the way to the title! Might be wrong but IF NOT and I didn't pick them, I might never be able to look at myself in the mirror again.

I did. Couldn't face myself in the mirror otherwise.
