Creighton knocks off number 1 Kansas

Maybe this is the year we finally win a march madness game


I have no doubts and predicted Sweet 16 last year, but was wrong by two games. This year, barring injuries, Sweet 16 should be a lock.

I’m looking forward to the upcoming game against Michigan State.

When the Creighton formula works, they are tough to beat. Against KU, they hit 3s, they could open things up and get production out of Kalk, and they got a great win. They were not hitting against Nebraska, and we could pressure Kalk with our size and post help defense, and that was the difference. KU couldn't take two steps away from guys without seeing another 3 drop in. The one thing that did concern me was McDermott's near refusal to use his bench, which never makes sense to me, and with a couple of guys under the weather, seemed even stupider than usual. I am one of the few who truly believe that if I were putting a team together, I'd be working to be able to go 8 to 10 deep. That isn't saying that there isn't going to be some drop off, but taking minutes off of guys over the course of the season is huge in March. December and January should be played with the idea of building to March.

Nick Bahe was going on about what a Hard venue the CHI Center is and how Creighton is nearly unbeatable there then I thought hey Nebraska has won there the last two times we have played in Omaha so GO Fred Go
 

Speaking of Basketball Fred has seemed to have figured things out with roster Mgmt and the portal. Nebraska's portal picks in the last 3 years have panned out and Fred made the adjustment to a more defensive team and has adjusted well to the BIG. Could Coach Rhule and his overhaul of the roster do the same? He already went and got a new OC who may have some different ideas of Offensive football than Coach Wanted in year 1 but Rhule seems to have admitted his fault and we are moving on from Satt so there is hope in Lincoln people

Coach Fred has lots of experience managing rosters from his time in the NBA. Coach Rhule should lean on him for professional advice.

I'm not picking a fight, but the challenges of dealing with 12-15 guys, plugging in people who can contribute in specific ways or in certain situations is child's play by comparison to dealing with 100 incredibly different kinds of people. Football players are tribal, and it gets even more granular, almost cultish the deeper you get. It's not just older vs younger players, it's not just offense vs defense, it's not just OLine vs Receivers, it's the entire steaming pile, and the testosterone levels when playing a very violent sport create challenges all their own. If I'm a 4, I can all but guarantee there aren't more than 3 of us, with maybe a stretch 5 or a big 3 in the mix for minutes. I believe I saw 18 guys listed in the secondary depth chart at one time.

I can't imagine what it's like to try to keep people from daily meltdowns in this day and age.
 


If you knew anything……which you don’t. You’d realize nobody goes to the BB board and yet many care about what affects our bb team. Are you on the Paige Hubl thread complaining about a volleyball post on the football board or are you just stalking me as usual.
The dude is a serial stalker :Lol:

Not usually on the same side as @Hville , but makes sense what he did here. Get the bb team some notice thru the football board? I am only mad bc I did not think of it first lol.

Are you actually trying to foment some sort of equivalence between offering condolences for the death of a former volleyball player to that of boosting the perceived strength of a quality basketball win, just to muster up some sympathy for your perpetual victimhood status and virtue signaling?

Disgusting.

Wow. You went out of your way on that one. I know you are famous for strawman arguments.
