We're in a game here folks. Samford playing loose and confident.

We flat.

Amen.

Strange time to do this? Seems like a strange time.

Oh, do you think he can add a couple extra vertebrae to his son?

Btw Kent, I laughed out loud when you commentated in your golf voice during free throws today. Thanks!

GBR! Wish I could see it. Here's to Kent sending a dump truck of "Got it!"'s my way.

That's the problem with having the post player pop to get the reversal and dribble entry into the back-door then hand off. Your weak side big doesn't get to sit on the back side porch to time seals on the backside reversal. If the weakside big is always popping to get the reversal = no post ups.Only chance for a post to touch the ball in the flow of our continuous hand off motion is on the roll, or if the guard coming off the hand off pulls back his dribble and enters it - especially if they switch the hand off. For the record, I'm only discussing our predicated motion we run that we've been doing for years now. I'm not saying or implying that Miles doesn't have other options and sets designed to get post touches. So the question is: is this offense the reason we haven't recruited quality bigs, or are we running this offense because we don't have quality bigs? It's a good question, and one wonders if it doesn't frustrate the likes of Hammond, Morrow and Jacobson.

jones, what inside options does this offense provide? My uneducated observations are that we pass up a lot of looks to the low post. Every game it seems I'll see Hammond or Morrow seal off his man real nice and be open for an entry pass, but get passed up. Also another observation, when our 4 & 5's roll off their screens sometimes they look wide open but rarely do we look to them. Anyone else notice this? I makes me wonder if they we are even supposed to be looking down low, or is it all for smoke and mirrors?

Well said Dimes. I chomped at the bit every year for us to play Kansas, and just about every year we got taken behind the woodshed. But every year I wanted another shot at them. You want to know how you match up against the best, to see how far you need to go, and to taste a little sweet revenge. Eventually we'll win, and when we do it will be sweeter than that brandy they're sniffing in Omaha.

I thought that was more Doc who kind of downplayed the importance of the game. I can't say I remember Miles downplaying the game/rivalry, then again I don't remember necessarily him up-playing it either.

Creighton in basketball is to us as Texas is to Husker football.

No joke. Let it go, Coach. If only to piss off the Jayskers, I'm for it.

That was, as Kent so aptly described a finger roll dunk.

Beat 'em like a Sunday morning boner.

Coach said he wanted to mix it up a little, thought Morrow might defend the low post better. He admits it didn't turn out that way, hence no Morrow in 2nd half.

Miles needs to show the ending of Incarnate Word to them at halftime.

What is most encouraging is that Tai and Jake had these kinds of games against a top 25 team and a team from a power 5 conference.

How huge would it be for us if Webster and Hammond can be at this level the rest of the season?
