I couldn't wait. Open up the flood gates.

TWO THINGS THIS HHCC ROUND: 1) Your score prediction for Nebraska at Creighton (as usual). 2) BONUS (-5 points): Predicting the exact number of Nebraska players that score 10+ (10 or more) points during this game (e.g. I am looking for an answer like "10").

It's a good thing we got some practice reps against Creighton then. Should be well prepared for this game now.

But these boneheads might win us this Creighton game!

It's like Creighton doesn't know how to guard a mullet.

We should start wearing these shirts to Creighton games from now on.

(FIFY) That's really polite of you to talk about Creighton in that way

Just to put this into terms that Creighton fans can understand. We're now in the 4th quarter.

The quote is literally: "2nd straight road win vs. Creighton for 1st time in series history."

...but does it show up in a brown bag in a hotel room? Creighton has very particular preferences on how they transfer money.

At least Creighton fans have an opportunity tomorrow to become bowl eligible. That should ease the pain a bit.

It sounds like Creighton fans will be tailgating you down I-80 to get to the game tomorrow. So tailgate away!

Halfway through this Nebraska/Wisconsin football game, Creighton fans finally get to experience the other side of a team who can't make anything from 3.

I wouldn't go as far to say that this might be archaic, but in the new world of NIL the collegiate sports environment has changed. Creighton's roster contains 3 players from Nebraska (19%), makes up 12% of the team's total points, and 17% of team minutes. Average points per game for each player is 2.3/0.0/8.3. Average rebounds are 2.5/0.0/2.5. Nebraska's roster contains 5 players from Nebraska (29%), makes up 2% of team's total points, and 10% of team minutes. Average points per game for each player is 2.0/0.5/2.0/0.0/0.0. Average rebounds are 4.0/2.3/2.2/0.0/0.0. I'm not sure defeating an in-state opponent to win in-state talent is the major sticking point here.

Favorite Game: Sure, it might be an easy answer, but it's one that hadn't been done in 40 years. That's something special. Whether on Peacock or not. Best specific moment: Probably that race in the final days of the conference season to secure a 3 seed in the Big Ten. There was still a lot of movement with Northwestern and Wisconsin in the final days to secure our spot in a double bye. When did you realize this team could be legit: Probably when we started stacking wins on Michigan State, Kansas State, and Indiana. What did you like about the team: We haven't had a team in awhile where you could feel confident that any player on the court could make a shot. This felt like a team who could challenge an opponent anywhere on the court. Favorite player: For what it represents? Sam Hoiberg. Give me anyone who's scrappy who's willing to lose some skin on the court to save a possession for the team. Most important player: Keisei. Hands down. Whether you believed in the hype or not, this is the face of what got Nebrasketball some attention again. Best memory: Coach Hoiberg getting the National Coach of the Year award. Wow. That was special. Most frustrating game: Some people will say Creighton. Sure, that was embarrassing. Absolutely. But I honestly don't care. That's 3% of our season and has little impact to the outcome of ours (or Creighton's season). The Texas A&M game was the most frustrating. Typical, in Nebrasketball fashion. A&M doesn't shoot the three ball, but then plays us and shoots lights out. High expectations for us and flopped in the moment. Add Trev on top of that and it was just one frustrating outcome to such a memorable season.

All those people voting for Creighton probably just got mixed up and meant to vote for us...

I also hear Creighton may be looking for a coach.

Can somebody explain what happened to the $100,000 Creighton had lying around pre-NIL?

It appears the ranking is inclusive of the total revenues of men's and women's basketball revenue combined. I would also think that ticket sales, merchandise sales, media revenue, etc. are included. As much support as Creighton gets in their concourses, their media revenues don't even come close to what a P5 school gets.

Similar sentiment to the Creighton/SDSU game. UAB fans feeling robbed for calls made with 10 minutes and 1 minute to go in the game. https://www.al.com/uab/2023/03/goodman-uab-will-curse-this-nit-time-and-time-again.html?outputType=amp

The longer this thread lives on, the longer Creighton will remember how they fouled a shooter with 1.2 seconds remaining to not advance to the Final Four.
