Dead Dog Alley

Cross went 10 for 48 from the field in the month of February. I dare say, that is unmatched in Nebraska history, possibly in Big Ten history, possibly in major conference history. That said, I did not want him to transfer out, and good luck to him. I think he'll end up having a fine career if he puts in the work. Being an inexperienced and undersized post player, playing with a thrown-together roster that was not deep in talent, and playing in the deepest and most physical conference in the country was not a recipe for success for him last year.

If he'd just been funnier looking, let's say having an extra ear or having an arm growing out of the top of his head, he wouldn't have been such a misfit for the Iowa roster.

I get the comparison of Lakes to Korver, but the comparison to Fuck Creighton bewilders me a bit. I might not be remembering the details correctly, but I don't think Fuck Creighton was anything near 6'7" and I don't think he was much of a 3 point shooter. He made up for those shortcomings with an awesome name, though.

If that comes to fruition, Nebraska would have a much better shot at making the NCAA Tournament field of 68 in 2022. Why? Because there would be about 200 fewer colleges fielding Division 1 sports teams.

Kevin Cross, in his 13 best games, went 26 for 56 from 3. 46%! So, if you ignore the fact that in the other 19 games he went 6 for 60...

I saw this picture today and I realized that Kobe King will have a huge adjustment to make. When your jersey says "Nebraska" and you are in the Big Ten, this is an offensive foul.

He was listed at 6'1" as a freshman, and 6'8" as a sophomore. My models therefore project him to be 8'5" by his sophomore year of college.

There are those who say that every single person has their good points. But those who say that may have never met anyone who played for both Duke and Creighton.

If he goes down to Stillwater is he going to ride a pack of dogs?

I get those 7'+ Purdue guys confused, he's the one with the weird hands through the hair twitch, right? Or is he the one with the herpes?

I wouldn't say that, as far as I can tell not ever watching one has just given me an extra 23 hours to do something else.

Ty-shon Alexander could go pro overseas, but he probably doesn't want to take the pay cut.

9 points a game at Illinois which makes him think he can go to Duke...

Fifth year seniors we've had in the last 10 years that were scholarship recruits and spent their entire career at Nebraska: 2014, Ray Gallegos. Ray redshirted with a vague undisclosed injury after his third year. He attempted to transfer after his freshman year but the places he wanted to go (Utah State was one) didn't have any scholarships available or didn't give him a spot. So although Yvan and Cross and Arop would be substantially better as fifth year seniors than as second year sophomores, it isn't likely to happen.

He's pretty normal looking, I don't know how he fits in at Iowa.

What this thread title might be in a couple of years: 2020 G Donovan Williams -> KSU -> WNCC

They should - even if it's for just one year - replay the Big 8 Holiday Tournament. We even won that thing once, in 1967.

There is no video on YouTube for the scene when Ruprecht says, "This is the greatest day of my life! I think my testicles are dropping!" That is the clip I was always planning on posting when Nebraska won its first NCAA Tournament game.

Three of those six have actually offered. It looks like he's plan C or D or E or F for KU and Nova.

Shaq played at the 4 for 15 minutes a game as a freshman with Stanley Roberts at center, and averaged half as much as LSUs leading scorer Chris Jackson. And that team didn’t even make the sweet sixteen.

If we had retained Miles he and Green would have fit the style of offense better, but we'd still had only won 10 - 12 games or so. And we'd be going through a coaching search and trying to rebuild a roster in the middle of this unforeseen worldwide mess.

Unless we have one of the top 5 single year improvements in wins in school history, we will win 14 or less next year. (The other time we redshirted a Piatkowski it was +16.)

Indiana won 18 fewer games in 1977 than 1976...I can't believe Knight kept his job...
