Wagon is full Dick. Should have been here sooner. JK... You can hop on. Welcome aboard. There's plenty of room!

He's probably thinking "They couldn't even score 70 points in a game. You can't win many games like that."

Everybody's going for the exits. 2:23 to go.

Maybe that will fix his tooth pain?

Well it was a hurried before clock run out shot but yeah. Yeah I'll allow that one. That ended up in a broken set play that they rightfully kicked back out. But we do throw up way too many of those when we have other options.

Gotta fight to the half. Momentum is slightly shifting to Indiana.

Uh oh... does Miles get ejected for complaining about a shot clock malfunction?

DOUBLE DIGITS FOR INDIANA WITH 4:30 TO GO!

In my humble mind, it never left. I'm right there with you. For me, it's been more on the "just gotta fight through it" side. But you can't deny the general public lost a little stream on the hype train during the most recent stretch of games.

Game's not over. But if this continues, then the hype train is back!

Is there a volleyball match in Bloomington we don't know about?

I want to see our shots falling better tonight than the metal beams do in Assembly Hall.

Only for a quarter.

I haven't heard anything. And I just did a quick search and couldn't find anything concrete since December.

We have enough Q1/Q2 opportunities the year. We just need to capitalize on them. I'm fine if Creighton ends up as Q4.

+1 for this

There are five components to the ranking. The NCAA hasn't been fully transparent about how each one works or how they are weighted, and I'm not sure if anyone has completely reverse-engineered it yet (I saw Bart Torvik got close), but here they are:  "Team Value Index" which rewards you for who you have beaten, taking into account location of the game. This is kind of like strength of record "Net Efficiency" which is basically how many more points per possession you score than your opponent. This is where Nebraska has got to be pretty strong based on our big wins. This component likely lines up closely with KenPom, I would guess Winning percentage Adjusted winning percentage, based on location Scoring margin <-- this is the one that is capped at 10  It's kind of a weird system and I'm sure they will tweak it. It's just strange that some of those components are so clearly overlapping. Here's another look at it:

I'm not entirely sold on that. But my position is in the "wait and see" mode for another couple weeks. OSU: SOS - 91 Quad - 1: 2-1, 2: 3-2, 3: 1-0, 4: 6-0 Q1+Q2: 62.5% NET: 36 Avg Opp NET: 142 Nebraska: SOS - 128 Quad - 1: 1-4, 2: 4-0, 3: 2-0, 4: 4-0 Q1+Q2: 55.6% NET: 13 Avg Opp NET: 131

The Hall went for a bank off the 2nd free throw when they were down 2 with 3 seconds to go. I'm no coach, but wouldn't attempting the shot to go down 1, foul, then go for the final shot be better off? And with that same logic, you miss the shot unintentionally you're in the same spot.

Marquette is showing their chops in the Big East right now. 40-30 at half against our beloved Seton Hall.

Powerade (not garbage)... Body Armor is a much more superior product... just my 2 cents. Opinions are for discussion and I had to state me just like you.
