Remember, Howard and Fred started the same year (I think). Rabbit and the tortoise storyline. Juwan started fast and Fred was extremely slow out of the gate. Remind me, who ended up winning the race?

Their bigs are impressive. The way we defend tends to confuse them just enough to make a difference. Hopefully our fresher legs will also be a significant difference maker.

Indiana it is. Game winner with 5 seconds to go. PSU missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Sort of funny - Indiana cheerleaders chant "let's go Hoosiers"; but it truly sounds like let's go losers.

87-56

He played with Josiah at Northstar, and I will go to my death bed advocating that Josiah, not Donovan, was the best player on that team.

Sheesh, watching Maryland's abysmal attempt at playing Wisconsin today gives me added optimism in the game we play on Friday. What a beat down.

We can and should beat all comers. That said, my biggest fear is a team with quick guards who can fill it up from behind the arc.

How long does it take to fly back to Ann Arbor?

You need to add the 100's of support staff that are not ticketed, but are present at the game. LPD, security, ushers, media, concessions and so forth.

From a Creighton source...and this was from last season: This probably belongs on the basketball board, but it certainly has applicability to football. Creighton is putting all of its resources into basketball and trying to build a national brand, according to a very reliable source. Current deal for EVERY scholarship basketball player, per year: 1. $75,000 cash 2. Condo 3. Car NIL is total insanity. It is not sustainable and it certainly isn't fair. Even the NFL and NBA have rules on what teams can pay players.

I guess I didn't realize the Watt brothers grew up in Pewaukee. Good athletes from that town.

That is hilarious! But our staff is almost as lame in their "attempts" to distribute shirts. Sad!

If we've been there and done it year after year, then I overwhelmingly agree that a watch party is not warranted. BUT, our lack of basketball history allows us the right to celebrate incremental victories. We struggle getting to the dance. "Our story" can be and should be celebrated. And we may have a flippin parade if we win one, and we may shut down schools if we get to the sweet 16. ...and lest we forget, we have some of our brothers talking statues...soooo

Yeah...I heard this from one of my people; but I heard it was more speculation rather than rumor. I also heard that the family is happy that Natalie is here. So although anything is possible, I am going to guess that she remains for year two.

Shoot, I certainly think Sam deserves some love. Defensive team? Sixth man?

Nice try coach, by the way you are fired. The media is ready for you now!

We should be getting Overbeek back pretty soon, shouldn't we?

I am pretty sure that the staff will be sniffing around. The cool thing though is that we received a lot of national publicity playing Iowa so tough on two occasions and winning once. So not only will we be sniffing; but players may be seeking our phone number as well.

The thing is, every team has this same dilemma. Right? What is good, is that we are one of the top 30 teams in the country that seem to do the right things way more often than the bad things. Another plus is that our team finally understands what we need to do, and as a unit, we are getting it done.

At least someone has us in the top 25 https://share.newsbreak.com/6dc7wqwp

Is local media [other than Jake and Kent] following the huskers on the road? Most quotes seem to flow from the post-game radio interview.

It would be a tough; but not impossible turnaround for PBA. There is a concert on Saturday night.
