HHCC Game #27 - at Illinois (Feb. 24, 7:00 PM CST)
jimmykc replied to HuskerFever's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
IU 68 NU 58 Still think we win a few more this year. This won't be one of them. -
My senior year our high school team lost 16 in a row, if that makes anyone feel better. Our coach was quoted in the paper as saying when it was time to "pick up the marbles" in the district tourney, we would be there. We weren't, and he was fired after one year. With that said, I still think NU could potentially win three more games this year. Now let's play some marbles.

And that's before they begin to stalk out early.

Whatever happened, I'm sure Brad Davison was behind it.

OT: Beilein Making a Beeline to the Exit
jimmykc replied to HuskerFever's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
Let me be the first to start a new rumor: Beilein to Iowa State. -
Sounds like he must have torn a ligament in his finger which will probably have to be re-attached and splinted for longer than our season will last. Bad luck for him and he would have contributed during the rest of our schedule. Should be no permanent physical problem though, and best of luck to him in the future.

Game Day Essentials: Game #25 vs Wisconsin

Never fear, Jayhawks lead at halftime. Fun fact of the day: KU ranks 292nd in free throw percentage in the NCAA and still surpasses the Huskers 64% to 60%. -
Game Day Essentials: Game #25 vs Wisconsin
jimmykc replied to hhcmatt's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
Watching KU getting beaten by Oklahoma today before NU's game starts. I was surprised to see Nebraska's last head coach show up on Oklahoma's bench! )And while a few of you pick yourselves up off the floor, remember that Jim Molinari was the interim head coach here for a few days before Fred took over.) He and Kruger played on the same college team (K. State) for a year, so go way back. And don't worry, its only the first half at the Phog. -
Wisconsin (14-10) (7-60 vs. Nebraska (7-17) (2-11)Game Thread

And the answer is...Curtis. -
He may want to come to Lincoln just to get as far away as he can from that haunted house.

And now we have something to shoot for this season,... #129.

Since we are still talking about history and have time to waste, I will recommend the book on CCNY's 1950 team which won both the NIT and NCAA tourneys. That year they were both played at Madison Square Garden and the twelve team NIT was by far the most prestigious. The CCNY Beavers were only invited to the later NCAA tourney because they had surprisingly won the NIT and were thus declared champions of the Northeast region. There were eight regions in the US, and only the best team in each region was invited to the NCAA. Incidentally CCNY beat the team AP rated as #1 at the end of the year in the finale of both tournaments in games which were decided in the last seconds. And that team was....(drum roll)….the Bradley Braves. And ,again, I must say how times have changed.

Damon also made the cover of SI and reaped a lot of verbal abuse from Bobby at Indiana (but at least never got choked).

Just not convinced that offering this early does anything but mess with a kid's head and (in some cases) his development as a player. I vaguely remember a prospect from somewhere in Iowa and one from Topeka who were "can't miss" as eighth graders who failed to develop into college stars. Does anyone care to research how many eighth grade commits actually sign with the school which originally offers them.

One word will summarize both the game and the season: tantalizing. -
...and if you buy the above bs, you will also believe that I can hardly wait for Jeter to start Spring training with the Red Sox

Since we are now entering the season of political spin, I would like to express my pleasure with how NU's basketball season has played out. I find it refreshing to approach selection Sunday with no angst or apprehensive gloom impending concerning the certainty that the Huskers will get their usual shafting by whatever committee chooses the NCAA and NIT fields, a'la the Miles era. There will not be the usual speculation about whether we should accept an invitation from the CSI or whatever the tournament for losers is called. I can just sit back and enjoy the post-season basketball, which should be interesting this year with no true favorite in the field. At least a half dozen teams from our league will be holding their collective breaths (but not me). I will have only peripheral interest in such weighty subjects as whether KU should consider using foam rubber stools (in case DeSouza should be re-instated). So I can just relax with a beverage and no accompanying bowl of the usual anxiety and let the roundball begin.

Will anyone be bold/foolish enough to choose us over Maryland? -

And don't forget that Moe Iba was the assistant on the 1966 Texas Western team. Interesting sidenotes: KU would have been playing in that game if instant replay had been available because JoJo White drained a game winning shot in overtime against them in the regionals but one of the two refs thought he had stepped out of bounds. Also, my brother-in-law attended the same high school in El Paso (Austin) as reserve guard David Palacio on that team.
