I've seen a lot of people say this, and it's a supposition at best, unless you know Terran personally and he's told you as much. I think to say so suggests Terran is only playing for himself, and that winning or team is secondary to him. I'm sure that's not that case.

Okay, your opinion is that we suck, and that Miles is awful (which btw, here we go...). So this if this is a discussion board as Dean suggests, care to expand more?

Not to make too much of an excuse here, but I have to think an 8 hour flight and the time difference may have contributed to how we looked, particularly in the first half.

Fixed that for you. Personally I don't think this topic could ever be beaten to death enough. Streams of people leaving during a double overtime game? WTF did you even come to the game in the first place?

I tell you another thing that gave my encouragement was a scene, rather than a picture (although there may be one out there). After the bitter loss to Creighton and after the handshakes I watched the whole team gather at center court. It was only for about 10 seconds, but I saw Petteway address his teammates in a demonstrative way. It wasn't angry, I think he was trying to be inspiring and he showed me he has some leadership qualities.

Did you listen to the game on the radio while the birth was going on Norm? Push him out, push him out. Waaay out!

So what kind of beers do you have on tap?

Great effort tonight. He may be a bit less cute after sustaining that cut over his eye tonight... Chicks dig scars.

Might get our Runzas yet:)

Sooo no Runzas?

Dear Santa. No more turnovers. Signed the Huskers.

DUNK that David!

Holy 3 ring circus Batman!

Theme of our last two losses. Start strong, then wiz it down our legs. No more I say!!

does one hand clapping make a sound? Answer here...http://www.simpsonsworld.com/video/302317635760/episode/260539459670

A pretty good "Current State of Men's Basketball" summation by Lee I'd say.

Well with our last losses coming at the hands of Catholic institutions, clearly God is not on our side. I think Miles needs to schedule a "Come to Jesus" meeting with his players post haste.

It's all very well if we the fans temper our expectations, but I still fully expect our players to continue to play for all of their pre-season goals, because they are still attainable.

Scheduling game after the Big Ten Conference Tourney, but before the NCAA Tourney? Is there a precedence for this type of thing anywhere else? I've never heard of that before.

Creighton's goal was to prevent the drive. To take it away. When Shavon was on the wing and tried to take his man off the dribble, Creighton would help off the corner, leaving us with an open shooter, but we didn't have anyone willing to take that shot. And that's because we don't have anyone besides the guys who are trying to drive who, right now, feel confident about taking that shot. It's not that we need to shoot more 3s. It's that we need the threat of being able to do so to open up the driving lanes and prevent opposing Ds from sagging and helping off of our shooters. You have to be able to force them to pick their poison. If they try to stop your drives, you kill them with outside shooting. If they defend the perimeter, you drive to the basket. But if they play to stop penetration and you can't make them pay for it by hitting outside jumpers, well, you lose by 10 to teams like Creighton. What scares me is Creighton just set the blueprint (no pun intended) for the rest of the teams on how to beat us. I think this is Tim Miles' biggest challenge since he's been here. Can he tweak, tinker and adjust enough to offset our deficiencies, as were exposed by Creighton.

Did I interpret this wrong last night, or did some of the crowd start booing because people were exiting early? Can't remember exactly, might have been with about a minute to a minute 30 left.
