Great point about Gary - plays with great effort on defense and on the boards. Not a glamour guy in terms of offensive numbers but an all-time great glue guy as a team leader. Love what he has done for us. Also agree on Berke. I think he in particular got Kalkbrenner frustrated - showed when he did that total obvious flop the second Berke touched him that one possession. Sure he suckered the ref into calling the foul - but it also gave away that our bigs were living in his head.

That was what I thought too. There were a few years back then when their program was down and there were more Nebraska fans at the games in Omaha than Creighton fans.

Hopefully Gavin watches and learns from what Connor did tonight. Gavin has been awful the last couple games - but I still think he can be valuable if and when he learns what role he can play. Has to also find a way to match the defensive effort we got from the other guys tonight.

Fantastic defensive game plan by the coaches - and great defensive effort by the team. Should give them all blackshirts like we did for Gary and Bandoumel a couple years ago when we won up there. Now I wish Ashworth had not gotten hurt as badly as it looks. Without him everyone playing them will follow our lead and just focus on taking Kalkbrenner out of the game. The other Creighton guys this year are not good enough offensively for them to win games against good teams. Don't care about that except it might not make this as good of a game for our resume as in otherwise might be.

If we can get to 70 we win.

Berke left Kalkbrenner for some reason. Don't need to double Neal he is not going to hurt us.

We need to get Brice involved in the offense and get him good looks - or get him to the line - if we are going to win this game.

Need Brice to find his stroke on the offensive end now.

Huge play by Uhlis.

What a FLOP !!!. Should have been a T on Kalkbrenner.

We need to find a way to score. May be too focused on protecting the lead but we need to keep scoring on the offensive end too.

Good to get through the first 4 minutes without another big man foul - but we need to avoid the turnovers on the offensive end. That is how they will make runs.

Berke really has a tendency to throw lazy passes. He needs to get past that.

Should have called traveling on Kalkenbrenner after he caught that long pass.

Lead would be larger if we could make free throws like we usually do.

Just FYI CJ Wilcher had 6 points in just 11 minutes coming off the bench in T A&M's upset loss to Central Florida last night. 2 of 5 from 3PT. J. Lawrence started for Rhode Island but just played 14 minutes before fouling out - scored 3 points. RI won easily over Fairfield.

Red team starters were not necessarily the starting lineup I expected going in - but after watching the scrimmage that would probably be who I would project to start now - although we clearly have a lot of depth and can put some different kinds of lineups on the court. So I could see playing time for some guys vary quite a bit based on matchups and playing the hot hand - which is also what we have seen from Hoiberg in the past. Thought Brice was the best player on the floor by a lot - and he and Juwan were clearly the leaders - but some of that may them just being more comfortable with the system and environment. Berke definitley has a Big 10 body and if he can develop his offensive game and play with the kind of effort we get from Juwan Gary - he could be really special. He hit a 3 - but just not sure he can do that consistently yet. But he also has the size to guard 5's so I could see us using him at that spot some as well - at least against certain teams. Worster was definitely looking to distribute - but I think he can contribute as a scorer as well - at least hope so. Uhlis and Jacobson are also PG options. Connor E is a great shooter and will get lots of minutes as a result and we need to find him looks. But others are going to have to be outside threats to so teams can't just focus on defending Connor there. Griffiths may have that ability but did not shoot that well today although he is very active on the court which looked good. Just also very thin and will need to show Big 10 strength on the defensive end. Meah and Morgan with both contribute at the 5 - but are very different players. I think who gets the most minutes between them may depend on the opponent. Meah clearly has more size and he seemed to have decent vision - but also is not going to be much of an offensive threat. Morgan was not as big as I hoped but was active and I think can spread the floor some. Did not shoot much - but form looked like he could shoot well. That said I don't think either of them is Rienk Mast by a long shot. I thought Frager looked much more ready to play in the Big 10 than I expected - although I am not sure where the minutes will come from this year. On the flip side - Nick J. was not at the level I was hoping for from him. Maybe he still just needs to adjust to the speed of the college game - but appeared to me to be a step slow and not that athletic - and while he clearly has a shooter reputation it appears he will struggle to get his shot off at this level. Of course - for both of these guys I am making judgements off of a very small sample size - so could very well be proven wrong. Overall the scrimmage was fun to watch and hope they continue to do that in the future.

That was the primary starting lineup in 90-91.

Would probably have to go with Erik Strickland - but high honorable mentions to Greg Downing and Claude Renfro. Also Dave Hoppen is one I would mention. In the more recent era - Derrick Walker.

He was the one I was going to list as well. Not very personable with the media or others he did not know well and a little thin skinned - but a great basketball mind - and we did win consistently with him as the coach.

Personally I did not like that feature where it automatically put tickets in your wallet. I manage a group of tickets for our family so always am transferring some and usually that was after they were already in my wallet. Transfer was still possible and OK but then when I got to the game I would have a bunch of voided tickets in my wallet that I had transferred along with the ones I was using - so was a bit of a hassle to sort out the ones that still worked for them to scan at the gate. That said - I agree that the mobile tickets are way better than the old paper tickets.

Was more excited about the potential of Brazille than Berke - but would have taken them both and ultimately glad we got at least one.

Went to Istanbul last year. A very interesting city. Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque are both incredible structures. We just visited the touristy area of the old city - and took a cruise on the Bosphorus. But it is a very modern city (and enormous - 20+ million). Airport was probably the largest and arguably the nicest I have seen anywhere.

Not a surprise as I think Izzo had already said he was not returning to MSU. But a talented player - wonder what the whole story behind this one might be?

Yeah - sorry. Apparently the post reporting Tang to Arkansas was not legitimate. Got fooled by it and sorry for posting the info here.
