NU 75 OSU 70

Stop the count

Islands Oasis of Grand Island - 75 Island Oasis of Honolulu - 66

Easy win against a bad team. We got bored. At this point I’m going to need a written statement/explanation from Fred as to why Meah does any of the “perimeter stuff.” It’s coach malfeasance.

NU - 88 MS - 72 9

That was a physical game, damn.

NU - 84 IU - 71

Idk maybe I’m just used to a few road beat-downs every year and this didn’t really bother me. Caught an amped up, hot team on the wrong day. We matched up bad with them.

MSU 71 NU 70 12

They have committed to taking away anything in the paint and not fouling (especially not and1 or shooting fouls). And we’re doing a hell of a job of it.

NU 86 NF 78

He just needs more practice time and minutes in these lower competition games we have coming up. He's thinking too much out there.

When did I say that? What are you even arguing? He got to 11 minutes with 4 fouls. It's pretty clear the goal was to get him to more like 15-20 minutes.

This is implying that the gameplan was for him to only get 10-15 minutes. Which is incorrect. He clearly was projected to play a significant amount more. He played 11 minutes and nearly fouled out. They couldn't keep him on the court.

Hmmmm.... I expected more. I'd like to see 4-6ppg on lobs, put-backs, and a FT here and there. And, "took away the other team's big man," is a bit of stretch considering he played 11 minutes and everyone else did too. But sure, you win.

Lol. I suppose. I should say, "His +/- is misleading."

A bit misleading. He sat quite a bit because of fouls, and (I don't believe) none of his fouls were shooting fouls, so they didn't score on those possessions before he sat down. He only played 11 minutes, had 0 points, 0 blocks, 0 assists, 1 steal.

NU - 79 SD - 62

Last night didn’t even feel like an upset. For anyone wondering why I have been so critical of this team, it’s because they have yet to show that juice and toughness. I liked this team a lot, the way it was built, but had yet to see them play as a team. That all got answered last night. No one even really played that “well” outside of Juwan and maybe Connor Essegian. We were just tougher, smarter, meaner, and played harder.

That didn’t even feel like an upset

I’ve never been more happy to be wrong.

I've always had a ton of affinity for Coach McDermott and the way they operate their basketball program (cheating allegations aside). What has always irked me is their fans, their students, and many of their players. F Creighton. Bunch of pricks. We might also get beat by 30 tonight. We'll see I suppose. GO SKERS.

Someday the board/Husker coaches will listen to me.

NU - 74 CU - 89 "3"

Now that’s a hot take. I see you. I see the vision.
