In a similar vein, you could add Johnny Trueblood and Tanner Borchardt.

Defense is even worse.

Griffiths needs a multi-game benching, and if the effort doesn't improve, send him packing. No effort whatsoever. And if you think that's too harsh, watch him standing still and not playing ANY defense on the possession in the last minute. Guy is just completely lost, and appears disinterested as well. I can handle bad, but not a lack of effort.

Out for the year. Needs another hip surgery. Wow.

Bandwagoner!!!

I always thought we would get that W for me to witness. But now I'm an old, have friends and relatives in my age group passing, and am doubting it. Might be the cause of a more negative viewpoint of what I've seen so far with this year's team than is justified. So bear with those posts.

Yeah, one of my buddies who is all invested in the Omaha thing--UNL alum, huge Jay fan, hates Husker basketball--was sitting in the fancy seats at volleyball last week wearing red and all fired up....

I have to think it's pretty important for in-state recruiting. Crayton kicking our ass on the court most every year over the past couple of decades has to be a factor in our dismal record in head to head recruiting efforts with Nebraska kids. At some point we have to turn this around. It's an important game beyond the Omaha pukes strutting around the office after another Jay win.

Griffiths will need to show he remotely cares about defense to earn more minutes.

I'm going to point to one more thing that led to the loss--when we went up 5 in the second half and turned it over on 5 or 6 consecutive possessions. That was just unbelievably brutal. Involved no missed 3s, but was devastating.

Kalkbrenner v. Meah--one of the greatest mismatches in the history of basketball.

Cale didn't exactly get rewarded for those high effort minutes late in the first half.....didn't get in again until garbage time with 1:30 left. Against FDU, I thought that was strange, and not the best message.

Winning bucket against Creighton, if I recall correctly. Haven't beat them much since.
