  1. His meal at the Italian restaurant was probably the deciding factor.
  2. Jimmy's simplistic take: I don't pay much attention to all the NET,SOS,SOR crap, since I don't understand the metrics. We have 5 games left and we have a decided advantage at home this year, so I'll assume two victories unless we toad up. If we win one of the away games, we are probably in and if we win two of them, we are definitely in with a higher seed. The league tourney gives us a chance to pick up some "gravy" games as well. Better yet, let's just win them all and trash this thread.
  3. I hope this doesn't result in the false confidence we seemed to get when we found out Dawson Garcia wouldn't be able to return to our game in Minnesota.
  4. I would compare her more to Larry Bird than Steph Curry though. He was every bit as cocky and managed to back up his attitude with his performance.
  5. To be fair, he had a pretty good NBA and international career but never achieved superstar status because of multiple knee and ankle surgeries. Our Spanish foreign exchange student thought he was a god.
  6. Obviously, Self is practicing for a career in politics after he retires.
  7. As I recall, they had a player who specialized in dropping precipitously.
  8. Remember, we once beat Oregon on that court (albeit, with a different floor).
  9. Sorry, I didn't bother to look up his complete stats for this year and only used last night's performance. It wasn't intended as a critique of his talent. I was just wondering if our record would be much better as a team if we had to fit his talent into the team mix we have this year. Duke 77-69 Wake Forest (Feb 12, 2024) Box Score - ESPN
  10. I consult the board for Nebraska geography and songs.
  11. I must agree, particularly if you remove their best all around player. However, that is true of most teams. At least Self was able to avoid the mental stress from watching the debacle by exiting the arena early last night.
  12. I was impressed with Sallis' growth and maturity since going to Wake. The announcers mentioned he might decide to opt for the pro draft after this year. However, he has to put up over 20 shots to score over 20 points and most of his success is based on driving to the basket himself. It is interesting to consider how he would have fit in on this year's team.
  13. Anyone care to look up when the last Big Ten game in which we were favored by more than ten points was played? Is Vegas trying to jinx us??
  14. I was waiting for someone to post this one of my favorites, so I'll do it myself while there is still some time before the game.
  15. William (not Doc) Sadler. I preferred him in "Trespass" (1992), one of my favorite films.
  16. Two thoughts: 1. Brice is not a point guard. 2. Nice to hear from hhcDave, who must now be considered a bona fide jinx.
  17. We won the second half and had 4 players in double figures. Otherwise, I have no positive comments about last night. Winning our next two games will be crucial for the success of our season, so I'm moving on to Saturday now. Turn the page.
  18. The way the transfer portal seems to work now, we may still get a couple of chances to see how he fits NU.
  19. All of this speculation on our post season fate is starting to make me feel like I did during the football season when I began to wonder which bowl we would be going to. And we all know how that ended. For now, let's just concentrate on finishing strong and winning all of the remaining games. Then we will find out what happens.
