I miss seeing you on the newscast Glad you enjoying basketball these days !
Creighton end of game
- Thread starter Huskertransplant
- Start date
Yes add in Kansas St to that list. I would find it very hard to believe that KState puts more into its program than Nebraska does. Yes they were down some the last 2 years but they do very well in comparison.
Yeah the Jays had great chances to open up a lead in the first half when St John’s was ice cold, and let them slip away. You knew the Johnnies would heat up eventually. They have a lot of weapons.
Kst has a lot longer history in men’s basketball than Nebraska not even close and I’m no kst fan
Hurley is a dick . But the ring gesture shows how stupid the creighton kid is . You do that to a coach who won back to back championships while you and your university has won absolutely squat in that category.
I mentioned that in the Clarkeyes thread earlier today.
And it is spot on.
Exactly. And they face the same issues that Nebraska does in terms of location in fact it’s even worse, Manhattan compared to Lincoln. Yet they win at K State. So those that say it’s too hard to win in a place like Lincoln are lying to themselves
Not a Jayskers or Mavsker, but sure would love to know the feeling of my team making it to a conference tournament championship game.
Felt like St. Johns didn't miss a shot in the last 10min last nite. Brutal stretch for the Jays.
I think St. John’s is one of the few teams that can matchup athletically and physically with those top SEC teams.
They did make 14 in a row! Unsure how they could lose to anyone when you have a half like that, shot 71%
All depends on matchups and officials. That’s what makes the NCAAs fun. You’re going to see officials not give anyone preferential treatment like you might or would normally.
Yep . That’s why for the most part the Big 10 teams don’t fair well in the tournament.
I wish they’d “nationalize” (for lack of a better term) NCAA officiating instead of doing it conference by conference. Have one single association and pool of officials (with NCAA oversight I guess 🤷♂️) for the entire D1. Officiating teams get assigned (Randomly) to games in any conference. Highest rated officials have better odds of getting selected for high profile P4/P5 matchups. Officials are graded on performance and the highest grades make more money and get the better games. And start reviewing certain non-subjective penalties. (Offsides, false start, too many players, grounding, illegal forward pass, ineligible man down field etc…)
Very similar to something I suggested in mid-January. Eliminate conference affiliations. Have a true, independent evaluation of their performance. I would venture a guess that B1G refs like Pfieffer, Lurch, and others would end up reffing in the Horizon league.
Seems pretty simple to me and I’ve not really heard any great arguments as to why this couldn’t work?
I don’t agree giving an 8 seed games 80 miles from their campus.
Tough draw, looks they were the last 9 seed and almost fell to the 10 line. That’s a pretty rough draw for the Big East runner up.
Yeah it kind of sucks, but the Jays do have some warts on their resume. Besides losing at home to the Huskers, they got boatraced at Georgetown and Xavier and blew a big lead at home that cost them a sweep of UConn.
Kentucky getting a 3 seed at 22-11 is fvcking criminal. Don’t tell me the committee doesn’t favor certain programs. Kentucky should’ve been a 6 at best.
Media darling Purdue gets gifted a 4 seed and plays juggernaut High Point, which has NET and KenPom rankings in the 80s.
And just to make this seem like this is a tough draw, noted Matt Painter ass-kisser Seth Davis picks High Point in an upset.

UConn gets an 8-9 game against a Oklahoma team that was on the bubble? Jesus, what a gift.
Actually, I was mistaken about that. KU got sent to Providence. Same regional as the Wichita teams, but the Jayhawks do have to travel.
Creighton’s win over UCONN did nothing for them they were the last 9 would have been better off losing to DePaul and taking a 10
It's always hilarious when a blue blood school's AD is chairing the selection committee, and dutifully insists that he "left the room" when his school's fate was being determined.
Yeh, because that makes a huge difference. I'm sure everyone instantly forgets who's chairing the committee, and who will be returning to the room in 10 minutes to retake the reigns.

Being a 10 is so much better than even being an 8…and it’s not even close.
Unless you're UConn. Then you get an 8-9 game against a team that was projected to barely squeeze into the tournament.
