Ughhhhly

I guess I need to further clarify the point I was trying to make. He came back this year for the surgery, the recovery, the NIL money and to secure his Masters degree. I am questioning what his reasoning would be to come back next year: - Loyalty to Fred and the program? - Doctorate degree? - Feels he can improve his game to NBA level? - Really loves his apartment in Lincoln? - Working on a relationship? - Loves Runza's and he doesn't realize they can be shipped to him? The point I'm making is that I am not 100% convinced that he will come back. If we are contemplating next year's roster, I would probably pencil his name in.

Okay, a huge congratulations! Yet there is a huge part of my brain, asking, dude, why are you coming back for another year? Doctorate?

Creighton was a good team when we played them. We broke Kalbrenner now with injuries and transfers they likely will hover near .500 at best

With the current state of college sports, I will no longer be surprised with any transfer/portal announcement. That goes for either gender or any sport.

Yes, saw it, but really didn't know what was going on. Thank you for the detail.

Lol...one ofour favorite personalities is currently 2-10 @ Wisconsin-Green Bay. Perhaps his coaching is as bad as his previous line of work. I'm talking about Dougie Gottlieb

Ummm. Let's NOT Google that term.

It may have been better than watching basketball wannabees dunking with the assistance of trampolines. I have heard that there is a write in campaign to bring the shim-sham dancers back...

Regional champ!!!

Mocs played good defense. They were offensively challenged sans their point guard. Good win. Win and advance.

Technically, wasn't the Purdue game a neutral site game?

It is my understanding they run a 4 guard starting line up.

As to the weather topic...growing up in rural Nebraska, early in my life I learned that everyone in Nebraska had an opinion on the weather and each person was right about 50% of the time. The truth is that there are hints in the weather patterns that can help determine what is going to happen...

To be fair, we did look like a bottom feeder versus MSU. After Indiana, not so much.

After a night's sleep, here are a few more random thoughts: * Andrew Morgan is a vital cog on this team. He is an athletic big; as is Berke. Meah has a role and will help us as well. So we have three bigs that seemingly continue to grow into their roles. Andrew is prone to fouling early, so I kind of understand him coming off the bench. Meah had some ugly turnovers last night. That has to stop. * Gavin will be interesting to watch. At this moment, he seems void of athleticism. It has a certain cringe factor. I still believe in him; but he currently has lost his rotational role. Cale looks sooo much more comfortable on the court and seems set in the ten man rotation. * We need Williams and Gary to stay consistently on top of their games to be successful. * Connor has stepped up big time. I'm actually not talking about his shot (although he has taken that to another level as well, by his ability to penetrate and finish). No, I am talking about his defense and rebounding. He is, by no means, a great defender and rebounder, but he is in the mix going for boards and he now seems to understand our defense and the effort is there. That said, he was beaten, pretty badly, on a couple occasions. (But not as badly as Rice de-jock strapping Uhlis on the top of the key in the 2nd half ).

I am somewhat proud of my prediction... Us 75 Them 68

Just another note; there were a few times where we broke down defensively, and again when rebounding. Other times we got a bit lazy after an offensive set and they simply beat us down the court. I guess what I am saying is that we ran away from them the last five minutes, despite playing much less than perfect.

Man oh man, that was fun! Hoosier daddy!!!! We won going away despite way too many turnovers and below average free throw shooting. Indiana wanted physical, and we gave them what they wanted. Bryce was an animal today. Dude, bring that game every night. Really like Connor and Andrew as well. That is two Big Ten games in a row that he brought his lunch pail to work. Gotta love it!

Who is leaving from Creighton?
