  1. Certainly different then Sam. Sam was a driver and slasher and not a strong three point threat. He didn't look for his shot and seemed to always score more than you thought when you looked at the stats. This dude looks like more of a perimeter threat, but is also a distributor. My two hopes/wants is a PG who can defend and a PG that moves the ball around. Hero ball does not work here. Gotta trust the coaching staff...I'm pretty sure they know what will work for the team.
  2. I guess I disagree. I have asked and know a lot of people in northeast and central Nebraska who follow husker basketball; perhaps more religiously than those of us in Lincoln. Same with Husker baseball and Volleyball. Of course I may not share the same interest as some of those that you mentioned. I just think there are a lot of fans out there.
  3. Although, if you would have seen the reaction of the fans, especially the kids, to Sam at the State Basketball tournament you would have thought he was an icon.
  4. Random question. Does it seem that we are reaching out to a significant number of players? Sooo, we must not have anyone locked down? I'm not worried ---yet; but dang, since we had an early start, you'd think we would be closing on a couple players sooner rather than later.
  5. Statewide...probably the firing of Frost and the hire of Coach Rhule. Most of the population outside of Omaha could care less about Creighton, but were likely intrigued by their run. A lot of Nebrakans likely were happy that both Sammy and Brady came back to their home state to finish their collegiate careers.
  6. I believe you are right. I note Steroid Man and CJ (lurch) didn't make the cut.
  7. Not unexpected but still a blow. I wish her well.
  8. This is very significant to me. Most of the high level studs seem to be prima dona's with a "me first" attitude. This final four seems to signify the importance of team over individuals. That is the basketball I grew to love. I think it was the KSU coach who indicated how difficult it was to defend Florida Atlantic because every player was a threat to score. Nice!
  9. The nail in the coffin for me was that he literally grabbed him back hand versus push or touch. No question that it was a foul. The question is whether the plethora of other officials would have made that same call or would have swallowed their collective whistles?
  10. I couldn't help but think of Erick Strickland. Perhaps our best on the ball defender of all time.
  11. If if and buts were candy and nuts...we would be happy zuts
  12. Brady stepped on the line. It should be over.
  13. Right or wrong, that is a tough call...
  14. Snow is pretty much gonzo. It will be...brisk.
  15. I'm not a proponent of adding players just to get to a certain number. Yes, depth is important. You need the right players with the right attitude/mindset. If Jaz and Issie are back, and if Allison is healthy, then who we recruit from the portal will be affected. So, determining the status of those three comes first. We cannot take the ready, shoot, aim approach. Our staff knows and understands this and formulated plans that shall unfold as the domino's fall.
  16. Don't like and hate to say it, but man, they are playing well and only 8 teams can say this...they have a chance to win it all. Good job. Gag.
  17. When I played, the line never existed. I am sure it was established in the spirit of sportsmanship; but it still makes little sense to me. Even little league munchkins do stupid things like spitting on their hand as they walk through. I just think it is an unnecessary procedure.
  18. Yeah, I am not big on that level of trash talk.
  19. Likely a recommendation from te medical team.
  20. Welp. Decent effort, and certainly not the result we wanted. Thank you ladies!
  21. I have always liked him. I thought he was their best player at Northstar.
