Shawn Eichorst's Toupee

Not convinced Doc's system is going to work long-term. He's all about packing it in, limiting points in the paint, and making teams win by making a lot of 3s. Indiana isn't great at 3pt shooting (#209 in the nation at 32%) and they didn't buck that trend last night (5-25 for 20%). So in this particular match-up, it worked well. Hopefully that continues throughout this season and the rest of Doc's tenure here, but I'm not willing to bet on it yet.

If you told me Nebraska is going to win only 1 game each year, I'd pick the Creighton game 11 out of 10 times.

Did you rip it from Flo Sports?

OWH says she also was considering Butler, Wichita State, Illinois State and Denver. Not exactly a Who's Who list.

Millard North is going to be stacked - both talent and height wise. Sautter thinks their starting lineup will go 6-9, 6-7, 6-7, 6-5 and 6-4. https://www.omaha.com/neprepzone/recruiting/plus/sautter-jadin-johnson-a---point-guard-adds-even/article_894bf8b3-425d-5767-a2e7-fc04ca0c49bc.html

Nebraska made Hugley's Top 12 last week. Can't say that carries a lot of weight as far as Fred's interest, but John must still be somewhat interested. https://twitter.com/thejohnhugley/status/1153454944042831873

I would also argue Washington got more press because it came right on the heels of his child porn/revenge porn case.

Uhhh... That'll do, I think.

I've never understood why men's college basketball goes with 2 halves. It's different than literally every other version of basketball played.

Nah, it was before.

I also am curious as to the timing on Brady's decision. The OWH quoted Brady as saying Fred told him an hour before his accounting final. That seems pretty unnecessary and where my biggest beef is. If true, what's the harm in waiting 3 more hours? Or doing it a week ago? Or doing it on Friday after finals are done? I'm all for upgrading talent. I'd like it to be done with a little bit of empathy.

Trusting what he's doing and agreeing with how he's doing it are two very different things, and I think that's why there's been pushback.

Sure. Transferring is part of the game now. There's enough transfers in the portal to field 50-some teams. I would argue that Nebraska gained more through the transfers than they've lost. Outside of Andrew White and Michael Jacobson, can you think of any impact players that have left?

Fun fact: this is the same high school that Mohamed Barry went to.

One of my buddies said he ejected Suh from an intramural game for screaming "I will end you" and running at some guy after the guy tried hacking him to prevent a layup.

Not to say I told you so buuuuuut... https://twitter.com/mgiannotto/status/1111447945977585667

Especially Painter? I dunno about that one... He's taken Purdue to 3 straight Sweet 16s and has finished in the top 4 of the Big Ten in 10/15 seasons. Also, I'm not entirely sure why nearing retirement would discount coaches from being on a Top Ten list. If we want to do Top Ten Coaches Who Will Still Be Coaching in 2025, we can. It's just not the list I was making.

I'm honestly curious who all is in your Top Ten. Because off the top of my head, I'd take all of these guys over Fred tomorrow (in no particular order): Tony Bennett John Beilein Mark Few Bill Self Roy Williams Coach K Tom Izzo Jay Wright Rick Barnes Matt Painter

I'm pretty in favor. Doesn't punish the players and lets them see where they stand. Makes the NBA do a bit more talent scouting. Doesn't make coaches throw guys under the bus to get them to stay around (Sup Boeheim?). I'm not seeing a lot of downsides.
