Feels like the minutes distributed during the tournament was us trying to put out the best lineups to win the game. During the regular season I think you might not do that at points because you're trying to conserve minutes or get guys experience or long term reasons. However sometimes it's probably managing personalities or the additional expectations that money brings to the equation.

Thanks, you're the man @HuskerFever!

Your CBC MVP, Juwan Gary

Interested to see who we get in the portal to back up Cale next season

Cannot buy a bucket right now

Is Johnson coming back for UCF? That would be a huge blow

We will see if anyone makes a dumber post on this board today

No Berke huh

Everyone is available. Seems like Berke is down the depth chart in this one

If anything DJ is going to favor us because he has to see us in conference

Game within the game if you're listening to the TV audio
