I loved this game plan, very similar to Purdue. I want to see us use this going forward every game. I think if we played that Rutgers game again, you'd see us use it. Awesome effort all around!

It probably didn't help that we couldn't stop dribble penetration, but I was surprised that we didn't see a similar game plan to the Purdue game. Especially given the fact that Rutgers is loaded in the post like Purdue, and that they are a worse 3 point shooting team than Purdue.

Really sad that Rutgers has a better center than we've had since at least Maric, maybe the 90s, and we can't seem to recruit a true athletic center.

Just my 2 cents, but it sounds like he wants to be wanted, and feels he deserves to play right away. I'm sorry, but this isn't OSA ball. You might actually have to, you know, earn your keep! So much entitlement with some of these recruits.

He is 17 years old. I've seen high school seniors who are 19, so he could be a sophomore or junior in some schools. And he didn't lift before. He's going to get more explosive as he goes through our strength and conditioning program, as well as he actually grows into his body.

This might seem like a weird comparison, but Cheatham reminds me of Copeland a bit. Senior leadership, can guard multiple spots, can quietly give you 15-20, and a smart, complete player. Different styles, but similar results!

BJU closed on Sundays?

McVeigh or Kavas...give me Australia!

Lol, very true. I just feel that for whatever reason, CU almost always does this too us in the last 15 years or so.

What's really sad is that I guarantee we don't play this bad the rest of the year. Creighton is our Kryptonite.

Our offense looks more stagnant than Miles' offense. Never thought I'd say that about a Fred Hoiberg team.

Coach K, Wooden, and Naismith could be on staff, and we would still start this way...PHUCK CREIGHTON.

Love seeing JPJ play so well. ET also had a nice game!

A couple things... IF, and it's a BIG IF, we start to hit 3's at an average clip, somewhere in the low 30s, as well as start to convert our atrocious % from 5 feet and in, we are going to be alright. 2nd, our guys will take leaps forward throughout the year. Just look at Cross from game 1 to 2, and SUU was way better than C-R. Lastly, one thing that isn't being talked about enough is that our potentially best player (I'd argue top 3 for sure) still hasn't played a game and will most likely have a tremendous impact once eligible. Sucky start, absolutely, but please, if anyone is near a ledge, game 2, year 1, yikes, your expectations are UNREALISTIC. You've clearly forgotten we're historically insignificant, and that this will take time. If this was year 3 or 4, then I'd understand panic. Just enjoy the little things like guys getting better and pulling off a couple upsets.

So much this, which drives me crazy sometimes because we hardly use zone!

Miles on color commentary, Kent still play-by-play, a man can dream, right?!

CUfan can go back to BJU at any time. Go worry about your injuries and Mac's chances of procreating another player of the year walk on player.

Speaking of Sports Nightly, I almost called in a couple weeks back to voice my displeasure, specifically with Nate Rohr. It was the Monday after the scrimmage, and Nate said something along the lines of "it seems a bit early to be talking basketball", and Sharpe agreed. Yeah, that sounds great to recruits that our own network says stupid things like this. So those guys can talk about the 5th string running back and spring football in February, yet OCTOBER is a bit early to discuss Husker hoops. Sorry, that just got me a tad hot under the collar!

I blame our football team, damn.

If we play Doc's style of D, we can finish top 7-10. We are going to have good enough guard play to keep us competitive IMO.

I still think Shamiel will be a stud!

IMO, getting a guy like Rick Ross to play a free concert is very impressive. If you like hip-hop, this is a pretty big name.

I see that Loon-ardi has already put out the first bracketology for 19-20. I see he has Eastern Omaha as a 5 seed, which was shocking to say the least. He also listed PSU as a 9 I believe. Where in the world did those two rankings come from.

Thanks!

Anyone know if we can stream a replay? I didn't see they found a way to stream until it was too late!
