In my opinion, CU played as well in last night's loss to Butler as they did when they won at Marquette last week. They are who they are, and this season that means that they are somewhere in the middle of the Big East. One post mentioned that only Watson is of Big East caliber. If that's the case, t...

Making the tourney all comes down to the Summit tournament, but if UNO keeps it up and wins the regular season they can guarantee themselves a NIT berth at least.

This disaster really has me bummed. I can't think of a more iconic intersection in Omaha---been going there (OM) since 67 or 68 when it was hippie central---Nouvelle Eve and M's were galleries featuring the best artists in Omaha at the time. I hope they can save the shell and rebuild it from within...

They seem to be attacking the basket more this year than relying on the outside jumper. I don't know what has gotten into Groselle, but the guy is turning into a beast, that 4-5 pass that he got (from Hansen?) for a put in was amazing. I wish that pass was from Hansen because I'd like to see Hansen...

We bought our National Championship Tshirt from inside Centurylink Center right after the match. That wasn't a very smart decision because it cost $30 for one Tshirt.

I'd laugh quite hard if NU came into California and beat UCLA after that article. Almost a "famous last words" moment there. The problem for UCLA is that they have very little motivation to prepare and practice hard for this game. I didn't think the writer of the article was suggesting th...

I think the main point here is all three local D1 teams should be playing eachother every year. Tell that to Iowa and Iowa St about playing Drake and N. Iowa each year. Yeah, that's a great example with Iowa and Iowa State each playing one of the others. I love what those 4 teams are doing with the...

This made me chuckle, but I do feel kind of bad for UCLA's team.

Looking at ticketmaster, looks like there are about 150 seats remaining for next Wednesday's game vs Nebraska. Instead of buying the left-over tickets that are way up high, I usually have luck buying tickets for lower bowl seats from someone selling outside the arena. There's some risk with that, b...

Rebounding killed CU and Watson's decision making down the stretch also hurt.

I think I read in the OWH that Creighton did not put a bid in to host. Unfortunately I just read that too. As a result, Creighton is the only seeded team not to host the first two rounds. It's hard to understand why CU administrators didn't submit a bid considering that CU was expected to be pretty...

Omaha1000

Is Creighton hosting? Unfortunately they are not hosting. I had thought that the top 16 seeds all hosted. I'm trying to find out why a seeded team gets sent to a non seeded team's home court. I wonder if it is because they are hosting the Final Four. That shouldn't be the reason because Texas is ho...

Special day for volleyball in the state of Nebraska.

I am very pleased that teammates are finally looking for Grosselle down low. He was already good offensively last year and is now getting consistent minutes.

Omaha1000

My first impressions of CU this year are 1. Unlike previous years, they are not a very crafty team. 2. They will not be taking advantage of having an active 7 footer with more than decent offensive skills. 3. They are more athletic but tend to take bad shots and not play very organized team ball. Wh...

We're ending our ski trip early enough to be back in town for the Big East tournament this Friday and Saturday. If Creighton wins, they will probably be seeded somewhere between 22 and 30. The worst case for Creighton is probably having to go to Minnesota or Wisconsin. I think that the best scenario...

Creighton wins the Big East regular season if they beat the current number 2 team in the Big East tonight. Home game: 7 pm.

I did not propose that someone come take away your hunting guns, nor your antique guns. If I was "King of the world", I would still think that you should continue to own those guns in your collection. For that matter, I have not heard any proposals that would include taking away the guns t...

I'm somewhere left of center and spent my formative growing up years in Japan, which has almost no handguns and almost zero gun violence. Therefore, I personally don't understand the emotional attachment to guns and why so many people oppose efforts to ban semi-automatics and to make hand guns more ...

I don't think I've ever seen a worse Nebraska football team in my life. Good god, is the city of Lincoln on suicide watch yet? If not, it should be.

As far as where to live for a new arrival who has plans to study, I recommend to research housing near the Aksarben area. It is next to the largest university in Omaha, in a central location, has a low crime rate, next to an important bike trail, and has a large volume of new apartments. Compared to...

I saw the Creighton lost six votes.... As they keep winning conference games, their RPI also continues to sink. I think that for Creighton to be a regular top 25 team, they first need the Big East to improve its RPI. That's going to be more difficult and unlikely.

I think it might be 7-9 this year, but next year will be 4-6.

I have high hopes for Geoffrey Groselle this year.

McDermott probably had his best shooting game last night since he has been with the Bulls. He shot 0-5 in the first half but 8-14 in the second half including 5-11 from 3. He finished with 23 pts and 5 rebs as the Bulls beat the Bucks 105-95. Bulls should be a fun team to watch this year with Coach...

I'm never desperate for things to do.

I think that Creighton will be better than last year, but so will several other teams. I see them in the 3 - 9 range.
