Those are the 3 guys playing center for us right now

We should have a shot against what will likely be a game vs Florida St

WB, Keita, Gary

Went with a offense type of lineup to end the game and they just shredded it for layups.

Just trading baskets the last few minutes

Woof we can't buy a basket right now

So your last post for the day

Walker will play on Friday

Need Oklahoma to stop making every three and we can get back in this thing

Maybe next podcast they can get Rob Pelinka and congratulate him on all the talent he was able to acquire for the Lakers

Nebraska 67 - Oklahoma 63 3

Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-1) vs Oklahoma Sooners (3-1) ** ESPN Events Invitational Game 1 ** Date: Thursday Nov 20, 2022 Time: 4:00 pm Arena: State Farm Field House, Orlando Broadcast: ESPN Nebraska plays again on Friday, 4:30 if they lose, 7:00 if they win Oklahoma Head Coach: Porter Moser Location: Norman, OKConference: Big 12Nickname: SoonerMascot: Sooner Schooner, Top Daug Last time out: Beat South AlabamaOpening Line: Oklahoma by 5.5 Other: First meeting between the two teams since Nebraska's last year in the Big 12 Both teams have played Arkansas Pine Bluff. The Sooners defeated the Golden Lions 66-58 Doc Sadler was recently hired as a special assistant to the Sooners who were in need of help as one of their assistants resigned mid-season Player to watch: Grant Sherfield The 6'2" Nevada transfer has become an immediate impact player for the Sooners, leading the team in scoring and assists. Player to watch: Tanner Groves The senior center leads the team in rebounds and has been a reliable outside shooter though has slumped to start this season. His brother Luke slots in at the 4. Both were known for taking Kansas to the limit in the NCAA tourney playing for Eastern Washington in 2021.

Expect this to be a low scoring affair as both teams defend well without fouling and Oklahoma likely will attempt to grind this game out in the half court. Speaking of grinding, this Nebraska team seems to be working for high quality shots as opposed to jacking up the first available look on offense. Never thought I'd see the day that a Hoiberg team at Nebraska might not lead the conference in pace. It's going to be difficult for Nebraska to score on Oklahoma but they unlike St John's they won't pressure the ball. We'll see how much Blaise Keita can stay on the court against this Sooner squad that is capable of playing 5 out basketball. Their might be chances for transition baskets given how much Oklahoma turns the ball over. Often feels like these holiday tourney teams in these tiny gyms tend to be on the sloppy side. In a low scoring game where Oklahoma doesn't seem capable of overwhelming Nebraska, let's lean into it. Prediction: Nebraska 67 - Oklahoma 63 View full article

I think it will be Derrick but I wasn't necessarily joking as it could conceivably leak at any moment if some football coach decision was made.

At some point if he plays and plays well enough to be one of the best two guys on the court he'll be up there in a post game presser and he'll get asked about his absence.

Assuming that because his back wasn't mentioned that Derrick is making the trip along with his jersey.

The brother with the beard is the better one

What happens first: Derrick plays or we announce a new football coach?

Currently playing for Seton Hall along with his younger brother whom we might be playing on Friday

The Groves brothers play on this team. You might remember them as the guys who combined for 58 points against #3 seed Kansas for Eastern Washington in their first round tourney matchup in 2021. Kansas has to come back to pull out a 93-84 win. The Groves brothers are posts who shoot 3 so that could limit the amount of time Blaise plays. Pace will be a factor as Porter Moser is going to want to play slow and in control. Otherwise Nevada PG transfer Grant Sherfield keys the team, leading it in shots taken and assists.

We only committed 6 fouls in that game. That is the fewest allowed since at least the opening of the Devaney Center. The 3 FTs taken by APB were a PBA record for fewest taken by a Nebraska opponent.

Box Score

CJ Wilcher leading the team in 3pt takes, makes, and 3pt%* - 9-21, 42.9% *Denim Dawson is 1-2 (50%)

Bryce hit for 83.1% on a lot of FTs last year, his best day being 10-10. Cary Cochran hit 92.2% of his FTs his senior year though he was playing on the 213th best FT shooting team as John Turek was chucking them up at a 38% rate that year.
