    It’s Fine

    Really agree. Getting shafted in a Thursday road game where just about the only statistic re: losing was the FT disparity (and an “inadvertent” goaltending whistle) is enough to give these guys a hangover. I cannot say I was surprised by them looking/feeling dispirated. I think days off...

    Lingchi

    Thanks for the nice words, WW. …The “doing well” part has been a kind of a struggle. Frau Doktor Palindrome died — I wore her down after 50 years together — and lots of things changed in the aftermath. But the Wildcats hoops fortunes don’t seem to change much. New guys, different names but...

    Eating Crow

    I love the smell of crow roasting in the morning.

    Don't sleep on

    Typical mainstream media bias against the Wildcats will twist this all around to make it sound as if it was bad shooting by the Huskers. In fact it is happening already. Pretty soon some anonymous source will claim it was “historically bad”. Fortunately we have this blog, and especially you...

    WBB BIG TEN CHAMPIONS!

    Re: seeding in WBB Big10 Tournament. Just curious, because I don’t think it matters, but if Maryland and NU are both 16-2 and have beaten each other once, what determines that Maryland gets the #1 seed?

    I’m assuming no TV for WBB today, right?

    How long can the youth excuse be used?

    Yes. They’re also 6-7 in league play. And to your point about a closer... it helps a lot. Indeed. But do you necessarily need one in games you lead by 8 with 4 min to go? Or 10 with 6 min to go? Or to win more than 1 in 12 games? Wisconsin seems to hold on to leads... ============== That’s...

    Rutgers Whiny Fans

    They were booing? Ohhh, my bad. Thought we had a lot of NU fans cheering for Buie and some homies from Albany and Gould Academy.

    Second-half thread for Purdue vs. NU

    Not “heartbreak”. Brain lock. Heartbreak is when the opponent steals a game that you had virtually won. Or, when we got jobbed by the zebras at the end. Or when an opponent player “goes off” at the end or did some otherwordly and/or near impossible lucky thing at the buzzer. In this case...

    Would You Be Mad if Collins Left?

    I’d be disappointed because I think: (1) he has some serious talent to build with, should be able to recruit more as well, and I want to see what he can do with it in the next couple of seasons; and, (2) if he can figure out how to get his team to close out games they should/could win, this...

    How can these young men learn how to win when…..

    On another thread I made this point: considering that this season is simply a learning experience for players and coaches alike, why not find out what guy(s) have what it takes to make something actually HAPPEN in crunch time that will put the dagger into our opponent and ice the game. We don’t...

    CCC cost us this one

    Thanks for the input. Good clutch finish by the Boilers; congrats on the win. BUT, with such an inexperienced group as ours, I would argue that what NU should be doing at the end of tight games is to find out who can make things HAPPEN that will put the game away. We learned nothing tonight...
