Dead Dog Alley

Colorado had lost 28 straight conference road games, and 100 out of their last 101, when they came into the Devaney Center on February 25, 1995. With the help of some lack of court awareness by Mikki Moore in the last few minutes, they came out with an 80-74 win; Nebraska dropped to 17-10, 4-8 in the conference, and almost all hope of a fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance was gone. I didn't see a large part of that game because Lil' Red was standing in front of me. Whoever thought up that monstrosity should have molasses poured over their sensitive region and then be staked out on top of an anthill.

Questionable officiating against Illinois, Ohio State, Kansas, Creighton didn't help.

The best coaching that Miles did in his tenure were in the last 6 games after he knew he was going to be fired.

Where do we go from here? The better question is, How do we spend our time knowing nobody gives us a damn?

But, at least the guys on that team were familiar enough with their teammates to have reasons to hate each other. These guys barely know the other's names.

$500,000 per win is a pretty sweet deal if you can get it.

The good news is, they can only have at most two seven minute droughts for the rest of the game.

I'm shocked! shocked! to find out that there are college basketball recruiting irregularities.

It's what goes on in March between the Samuel L. Jackson Capitol One commercials.

"Conference Win %" means CONFERENCE GAMES ONLY.....

All I know is, Rick Johnson was the greatest coach that Creighton ever had.

Has Toney McCray in this hypothetical universe taken 5,000 charges in practice to the point where he's a physical wreck, who's shooting is very much affected by that fact?

I think we'd plead down for the death penalty instead...

Fan introductions at the CHI center:

If we start out 33-0 next year, we will get called for 50 fouls in the Big Ten Tournament final and end up as a 3 seed in the NIT.

Tip of the iceberg. But, also, paled in comparison to what was going on at Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Oklahoma State...

I would normally try to come up with a clever, pithy response…but I just don’t care enough at the moment.

We'll have 9 more wins by that time.

That's more effort than he normally shows when it comes to rebounding.

He looks like a 5* playing with zero effort or toughness. There's not much of anything that he does right. It looks like he's cashed it in on the season.
