I lived in Nebraska for some years and Nebraska Football is everything... but because their Bball team is so bad (No NCAA since the Tyron Lue days, I believe)... Creighton has found a nice niche.

Manny is leading the game in points. The guy covering him is playing really well, really tight. The Creighton full court defense seems to be giving us some trouble.
We need to either get hot from 3 or find another way to get penetration. The Jays have been solid on defending the inside.

Next year I think Novak is going to be the guy that fans of every other team in the conference absolutely hates. This year it's still Chris Kramer but he's done after this season. It'll be nice to have the dominant conference Hustle Dork on our team.

Am I the only one that thinks
Am I the only one that thinks
Am I the only one that thinks it's embarressing that the color commentator is confusing Michigan's 2-3 zone for the 1-3-1?
I know it's an easy mistake to make, but the 1-3-1 would feature a guard running the baseline with Sims/Gibson playing at the FT line until the ball moves to the corners/baseline.

Sims has been playing at the free throw line most of the time and there usually has been a shorter guy under the hoop running around from what I've seen.

True, but Sims/Gibson are
True, but Sims/Gibson are
True, but Sims/Gibson are still matching up to the weakside post players. That's a responsibility that would fall onto the last "1" in the 1-3-1. Like I mentioned, the big giveaway that the team is in the 1-3-1 is that you'll have a guard exclusively on the baseline. That definitely isn't what they are running right now.

That wasn't out of control.
That wasn't out of control.
That wasn't out of control. Out of control is what got him into the corner.
And if that's a push-off, then they could call an offensive foul on every single play. The guy did not have position at all, it's not an offensive foul unless LLP puts the arm in his neck or face. You could tell even the announcer thought it was BS.

He was clearly out of control

He was clearly out of control bringing the ball up, but he gathered himself and the ref made the foul call simply because Young was playing energetic defense and the crowd was urging him on.

Ridiculous offensive foul call on LLP before half

Where does the NCAA find these clowns? And how are they never held responsible for being horrible at their jobs? If they worked in any other industry, they'd be fired (unless they worked for the Free Press).

Rule of thumb is that refs

Rule of thumb is that refs are uniformly awful and favor neither team. As a result of the last few minutes of the half, we should get some very nice calls in the second half.
