USC comes into the Vault as 6 point dog

[Zeke2005]

A play in game shouldn’t count for a tournament win.

Hush now

If NU doesn't make the BTT, Fred needs to be gone and they need to do all the van to get Devires from WVU because Iowa is going to try top land him as well.

West Virginia is a better basketball job than Nebraska. DeVries would not leave there for Nebraska. If he keeps winning he will be able to get about any job he wants. He'd be dumb to go somewhere where nobody has been able to win.

DeVries will be a top candidate to take over at Creighton when McDermott hangs it up or moves on.

I just don't see how you can keep him if he doesn't make the BTT.

That would be what, 1 NCAA tourney, no tourney wins and not making the BTT in 7 years?

But, but, but … he’s had a good winning % the last year and a half.

No "elite" coach is coming to Nebraska. Fred is as close to elite as we could have expected to hire. He won multiple Big 12 championships at Iowa State, made a Sweet 16, averaged 23 wins/year, was an NBA head coach and NBA executive

this is why we suck for 50 years and will never be a factor in anything. We accept what you just typed. Stupid

At some point you accept reality and reality can hurt. No "elite" coach is saying, "Gee I should really take a look at that Nebraska job."

A more realistic scenario would be to strike gold on some young hot prospect and they develop into an elite coach (similar to Roy Williams start at Kansas). Still likely a stretch but far more realistic.

UCLA was athletic. Shooting teams are probably more of our Achilles heel. USC only makes 6.4 treys per game and their defense is pretty bad. We should find points and also get to the line plenty.

Their season/schedule has been wild. They appear to be improving massively as the season goes..They went from scoring just 36 points on St Mary’s to beating Illinois on the road.

So they’ll hit 12 treys tonight?

This is a pretty big game playing at home in which a loss would be devastating moving forward the rest of the season.

I’m taking UNDER 142.5 for no particular reason.

Probably…
