Our formula for winning was get to the line, make free throws and force teams into threes they don't want to take. Now we just get to the line. I hate double teaming non threats so much.

Nice, we held him in check pretty well.

In honor of Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper probably going in the top 5 of the 2025 NBA Draft here are the top 5 picks we've faced since Danny Manning. (I might have missed one or two) 1988- Manning, Mitch Richmond 1991- Steve Smith 1997- Antonio Daniels (I cannot find a box score for this Bowling Green game), Billups, Tony Battie 1998- Raef Lafretz 2000- Marcus Fizer 2002- Drew Gooden 2006- Lamarcus Aldridge 2007- Kevin Durant 2008- Michael Beasley 2009- Blake Griffin, James Harden 2011- Tristan Thompson 2013- Victor Olidipo, Cody Zeller 2015- DeAngelo Russell 2017- Josh Jackson 2018- Jaren Jackson Jr. 2022- Keenen Murray, Jaden Iven

Hoiberg has some Marcus Smart in him, just making huge plays during winning time.

Hang the banner.

Queen is terrifying.

As long as we keep relentlessly attacking the rim and drawing fouls CE will get shots.

Halftime Maryland 50 Ohio State 17 ???

We had like two Indiana type catastrophic games every year under Bo. It’s an interesting conversation: would you rather have a hard ceiling of 9 wins and when you play a good team you get obliterated or would you rather have the potential to win more but somehow lose 6 games in the dumbest way possible.

They shoot lots of threes and have got to the line at a decent clip. They’ve also had a couple awful FT shooting games. If there’s one guarantee it’s that the 6’ 7” guy will come off the bench and make a bunch of 3s against us.

I think we broke them.

We can really lock up teams when we limit initial penetration from their guards. St. Mary’s had guys with some shake who could get into the paint, Creighton just doesnt have those guys.

Kalkbrenner taking one shot might be the craziest stat of all time.

Hell yes.

Once we tighten up the rotation, we won't have ten guys getting double digit minutes, things will smooth out. Gotta think that Meah will be a situational big and Rollie will be logging mid-30s minutes. We have some lineups without enough willing shooters which could cause some problems.
