Creighton Fan

Last yr the big ten was ranked as the toughest or second toughest league. That ain't the case this year. I ain't bagging on the conference,just saying it was better last year. I ain't basing anything on no hype. I'm basing the dissapoitment on the fact that the team returned four starters from a ncaa tourney team and the one player that Din't return wasn't one of the main stars. Most teams in the country lost a whole lot more.

So you don't think there should have been any preseason hype? You make the NCAA tournament last season and basically have your entire team returning along with a 1st team All-Conference player and you don't think this year has been disappointing? I'm very disappointed in our offensive production this season and the heart of this team. No doubt, last year was a magical ride but if you can't built on it the following season with the same players, then we might as well just kept Doc Sadler and not have any expectations or hype each year. I never mentioned that it wasn't disappointing. Yet the notion of most disappointing ever is a major stretch, don't you think? Nah. Some mags ranked em in top 25. Others said they'd finish second in conf. With almost all the team returning, all conf player and Cpoy candidate there should eb expectations. On top of erything else, big ten ain't even close to as good this year as it be last year. Becuz of all dat stuff, if they don't even make the tourney, it is the most disappointing ever. Also If you ain't got no expectations going into this season, you don't get to have em ever or you really don't care.

Play the best players. Never "save" anyone for a different year. Redshirt only if a guy ain't gonna get any minutes.

Hard to imagine he gonna have a better chance at immediate playing time at GTown than Nebraska.

Problem when comparing thus year to last year is that last year we din't have them bad losses at home. That's the killer. Everybody gits stinkers on the road but home stinkers kill ya.

I think with the grind it out style Miles wants, Benny is perfect. He is a royal pain in the ass to play against cuz He always all up in your business. I wish he could or would score more, but he perfect on the defensive end. Real problem is dat none of the bench guys be much better scorers neither.

Could also mean that other teams be making better adjustments as game progresses

he needs to put on at least 20 pounds. way to thin. That just gonna make him even slower.

i believe the spread was 10.5 and we lost by 11.... I don't really care what the spread was. This was a four point game with five minutes left. With as thin as NU was vs. a full strength Iowa team coming off a huge win, NU had every chance to win this game. Iowa's depth was a huge factor in this game, probably the biggest one, NU still gave themselves a real shot to win. Wit the cold and snow it prolly also the weakest home court advantage a opponent gonna get dis year. You could see all the empty seats on the broadcast.

FSU is 8-6 wit only 1 win vs a power conf school. They prolly ain't that good so I am not sure that's a good comparison Iowa gots some issues at PG but has some good posts. This may be a trap game for em doe coming off their big win. Wonder what kinda crowd gonna come out for a late start in dis cold

Also hard to run when you can't rebound True dat.

The players we got that are playing prolly would be better if we would run more. Problem is you can't run wit no depth or the players be dead by February lol

If it's that simple, I guess it is a lock that Miles was outcoached by the Incarnate Word dude?

Also hammons and fuller ain't big 10 talent at this point...miles can't play them or they get lit up. Hammons many be able to get stronger but neither of em ain't getting no faster. I got concerns with fuller especially since he coming off a red shirt all ready.

Some of holding Indiana below they season avg is because of the really slow offensive tempo miles uses. When you hold the ball for most the shot clock, it limits possessions and if looking only at pts allowed, could make a defense look better than it is.

Waited on what exactly?Try reading the other posts in the thread bruh The question remains....what are you talking about in regards to "why we couldn't a waited?" Your post makes no sense. We had a scholarship available...still do. So who is saying we didn't wait? Bruh. Go back and read kamdymans post. Ain't that hard.

While we don't got much height, we don't box out well neither. Lots a standing around after opponents shoot it. Gotta hit someone and keep em from grabbing da rock.

Well that's kind of the risk/reward - if we get Agau as a transfer then it was probably smart to hold that scholarship. If we strike out with all of the mid-year transfers, then maybe you can second guess. Sometimes it's worth having an open one for mid-year options - I don't mind that strategy on occasion.Whichever walk-on got the extra scholarship only has it guaranteed 1st semester, so it can be taken back if needed for a mid-year player. And I don't think anyone, even UNO coaches, thought Thurman would be doing what he's doing so quickly, so it's tough to fault NU's coaches on this one. If he keeps developing & improving though, I have to think Miles & Co will definitely feel like they missed one. Don't think that's right bout the scholly. My brother told me dat once you give it to a cat, it is gone for da year, even if a kid transfers somewheres else. If menke gots it now,you can't take it away and give it to some other cat at the semester.

Obviously he better than nothing, which we got now. However, he ain't a game changer neither as shown by the results when he did play. Same is true bout last year when he played at georgetown too. And if you can't see that them I'm sorry for you.

Gotta stop pretending that Moses return gonna be a difference maker. Team struggled plenty when Moses was playing

Since we had a scholarship open I don't see why we couldn't a waited. Din't we just give the scholly to Menke or some other walk on anyway?

LOL okay bruh. If I wanted to come during adversity, Ida come after incarnate word! Coached HS FB this year to help out and it took all my time. Didn't post during FB season. Din't have to work today so stopped in to see what's up.

If you let a dude jawing at ya get you off your game, you mentally soft. If other coaches see that all it take to mess up you concentration is to get in you face, don't be surprised when everybody start getting in you face. That's what Terran got to worry about going forward cuz every team got a guy who is really good at getting under an opponents skin.

A cat can't be mentally strong without bein able to control his emotions. Emotional control is part of bein mentally strong. A cat can be physically strong but an emotional train wreck doe.
