Remember that 16-13 number does not include the 2nd and 3rd games in Hawaii, so our actual final record might be a little better or worse than that.

KenPom would have gladly moved to last place if the Huskers could have managed to beat or at least hang with MSU Saturday.

Does that mean we're now a Quad 2 loss for Creighton?

It's Collins's influence. They've been like that the whole time he's been coach. They've always been one of my least favorite conference opponents because of it, and Chris Collins is a not good guy.

KenPom says: 45 Nebraska at 32 Michigan St. B10 Michigan St. 75-69 (69%) [70] 9 conference wins.

heh..."kampong"

Absolutely! I'll happily sacrifice a league game or two if it means we can have a fully healthy Berke for the other 18.

Depends on your perspective I suppose. To me, it's excellent news to hear that he's able to do some live work already. I was kind of penciling him out until the new year at least so it seems to me like maybe he's a little be ahead of schedule!

Okay...now you've got my attention.

116-52 you say? Can't say I've seen that often, no.

I will add in to the chorus saying I don't think this is a controversial take at all. There are two things that Keisei had here that Connor doesn't seem to at least so far: 1). As others have mentioned Keisei had that flair and showmanship that made him just a joy to watch work. Connor is just efficient and will get you that sneaky 22 points, and that's obviously not a bad thing. Keisei would light up the scoreboard and let you know about it. Also not a bad thing. 2). Keisei had a really great passing big man (both Derrick and Rienk) to play that two man game with. Jury's out on whether Berke or Andrew can play that role as well. I am kind of rubbing my hands together thinking about Rienk and Connor on the floor together. Hope we get to see that next year.

Lunardi (just like all "bracketologists") is a complete fraud.
