He pushed me first.

Don't forget Grambling and Sam Houston, Norm.

I think the honeymoon was over the day the preseason rankings came out.

No. Did I say you should? I'm just not surprised based on how things have gone so far.

I wasn't expecting a blowout. A lot of people like me picked an 8 point margin or less, and that was before we knew Moses was out.

Oh, no. Now Tarin is injured?

Fuller! Hey, the good thing about injuries (only good thing) is our reserves are getting some valuable playing time.

I wonder how much of Walt's lack of presence inside is by design by the coaching staff, or just Walt's lack of willingness to bang inside? He did it last year. We need him in there again.

We need another shooter and we need a big who's capable of locking down the post and scoring from time to time. We have some nice talent coming in next year, but with Leslee Smith and Moses gone next year, just how bad is it going to get for us on the inside? We'd better get someone decent signed this spring. Maybe 2.

Exactly. To much smack talk going on the last 6 months against a program who is now 14-5 against us in the last 19 games.

It's a tough balance, isn't it, that coaches have? I mean, I really don't want Miles to go Doc on our players and kill all the creativity they have. Yet, I tear out what little hair I have when I see Terran launch some of the 3's he does without a single pass. I think McDermott got it right. Shut down Shields and make Terran beat you.

Nailed it Norm - analysis is right on point.. You pick on odd time, HuskerBB, for showing back up. Where have you been? Hope to see you posting more often as the season progresses.

Someone noticed it during pregame and mentioned on twitter - I forget who I thought Benny had a OK game for someone who had a hamstring injury, but he wasn't his usual disruptive self on the defensive end.

So after tonight's softie, will we have no-sit Wednesday when 5-0 Incarnate Word comes to town?

Bingo. Well, actually it was two consecutive possessions. The possession before that, Terran launched the 3 with the rest of the team still coming down the floor behind him, right? Terran was scolding himself for taking that on the way back on defense and did not close in on whomever, who got an easy layup. We live and die on offense like that, but if it backfires on you, you have to make up for it on the defensive end.

Yeah, I definitely agree if that's the case.

Anyone who puts this much work into doing analysis deserves a thumbs-up. Nice work, OurDecay!

Dang it Kent, brags up River's 8-8 FT shooting and of course he misses the first one.

It didn't help our cause for us to pick URI last week, so.... Nebraska 63 Florida St 61

You gotta love having a coach who doesn't have hair on his legs. It means he has a lot of growth potential as a program builder.

Geesh fans, just a token scattered applause for Shields when he leaves the floor???
