Creighton Prep has a pretty good big guy by the name of Trinell Parker. He is 6' 9" and handles the ball okay, pretty good footwork around the basket, has a nice frame to put on weight, but I'm not sure if he has an outside shot. He is a Senior I believe.

I think a lot of people believe we will win all 3 games in Hawaii, which will be tough. I think we can beat all the teams in the tournament, but because it is a tournament it will be more difficult than if those games were spread out like in the regular season.

Creighton beats #1 Kansas by 13 in Omaha, and we beat Creighton by 11 so............

I said the same thing about GG being an X factor earlier. I like our team, but would really like it if we had another shooter off the bench. Connor and Brice have proved they can hit 3's. I don't expect Connor to be this hot every game, especially when defenders get more athletic in the Big Ten, thus the need for another shooter. Gary will knock one down once in a while, Sam might be starting to come around again like his Frosh year but his size limits him so we are back to GG. If GG does not find his stroke do you burn Janowski's redshirt? How long to you give GG to get it going from the arc before you go to Jano? I'm guessing coach will not burn the redshirt and ride the team he has. The problem with the redshirt in today's world is it often gives that player another year.........with another team.

T-shirt sales?

Oregon beats Alabama 83-81 in Vegas tournament championship. Shot by Alabama to tie was ruled it came after the buzzer.

Minnesota up 3 elects not to foul and Wichita State hits a three with a second left and then wins it in OT.

Big win for Sparty in OT over North Carolina Rutgers couldn't quite get it done against Alabama. Harper had 37 for the Knights.

For a stretch there it seemed like a Husker got hurt on every possession.

Texas A & M 77 Creighton 73 Jays were up four at half. Ashworth had 14 points. Bench had 2 points. Wilcher missed two three's and did not score. Oregon beat San Diego State by ten

Bingo! "Rutgers basketball coach Steve Pikiell did freshman phenom Ace Bailey a favor by scheduling a homecoming game for him."

I was wondering the same thing. I don't think it was part of a tournament. This is why P5 teams don't travel to mid-major schools.

Kennesaw State 79 Rutgers 77

Watson and Nembhard I think are the two I was thinking of. Getting older stinks, or maybe I just have to much knowledge in my brain I can't remember everything. Yeah, I think I will go with that.

I know what your saying but to be fair and if I remember correctly Creighton did lose a couple of their top players two years in a row just before the NCAA tournament a few years ago. I can't remember names but one was a score first point guard. I could look it up but you know.....it's Creighton.

If Ashworth Is out for a while they could really struggle.

The icing on the top, Norm makes appearance!

I was really surprised Mac got out of the 1-3-1 after one successful defensive possession. We had few shooters on the floor and not much height. At the worst he could have made us burn a timeout. At best could have changed the momentum and got some run out layups. That was a fun one!

Alabama 100 Illinois 87 Also saw that Ohio State lost their starting center for the season with an Achilles injury. Then I realized it was the football center. We need to change the name for one sport or the other (guard and center) Forward can stay.

Marquette thumps Purdue at home 76-58.

I don't like that it is our first true road game of the year. We will see how tough we are mentally.

UTRGV misses a shot in the paint with three seconds left and Wisconsin hits 2 free throws to win 87-84.

I would like to see Meah just hang around the off side block or short corner on offense and just crash the boards. GG was just terrible on defense. Need him to improve there. I'm done telling myself that the other team just hit shots. They hit them because we give them open shots. I guess we will have live with it as this is our defensive philosophy. I do feel better that we came back from being so far down against want looks like a pretty darn good team.
