At some point we've got to start recruiting Connecticut kids again.

Nice pass.

But again, and this is not only in regards to CT kids either, but most kids don't want to stay close to home. They can not be faulted for wanting to go somewhere new, experience new things, etc. and we really have no right to expect that from young adults.

[KodiacKemba]

The massive 5 lineup change from the Wichita State coach for the lack of rebounds lol

 

[KodiacKemba]

[KodiacKemba]

Big shot but they let Ohio State back in the game, if they would’ve lost in OT the coach is gone just from this game alone

South Florida up 19 on Tulane ... I see you Samuel

 

[upstater]

Waters had 4 points on 1-7 shooting and 0 assists, 6 turnovers. Funny, no superjohn posts today.

He's still better than our own PG but yes, sometimes I think fans tend to note the transcendent performances and forget the not so great ones.

Makes me wonder if people on other boards note Adams' stellar nights so enviously.

Was thinking the same thing. Basketball is an easy game when your shot goes in. Getting smacked by Auburn maybe doesn't mean your coach sucks or your offensive scheme sucks (but it could).

What's your point? He had a terrible game. He'd still wipe the floor with any of our players, besides Adams. Still wish he was here.

Terrence Samuel went for 16 points 12 rebounds vs. Tulane.

Did Grayson Allen try to trip another player in Duke’s loss to Virginia?

Nebraska is in a weird place. Usually fourth in the B1G would almost be a guaranteed bid. But their schedule is so weak (play other top 4 teams only once) that they are clearly on the outside looking in right now.

Nebraska vs. Wisconsin - Game Summary - January 29, 2018 - ESPN

Trailing by double digits in the second half, Nebraska seemed on the verge of a resume-crushing loss to a struggling Wisconsin team.

But a switch to a 1-3-1 zone on the defensive end and a scrapping of their sets for a spread-motion offense allowed the Cornhuskers to pull off an important comeback win.

James Palmer Jr. scored 28 points and keyed the second-half comeback, as Nebraska rallied for a 74-63 victory on Monday night.

"Those last 10 minutes, when you are playing four games in eight days, three on the road, that's pretty good fight out of your team to see them come out of here with a W," Nebraska coach Tim Miles said.

The Cornhuskers trailed by 11 points midway through the second half but held the Badgers to just eight points over the final nine minutes to extend their winning streak to three games.

A spinning, one-handed dunk by Khalil Iverson gave Wisconsin a 55-44 advantage, but the Cornhuskers answered with 10 straight points to pull within 55-54 with 7:28 to play and continued rolling.

Keying the comeback for Nebraska was a zone that had Wisconsin flummoxed.

"We decided to be more aggressive with it, pick up full and trap a little bit just to try and change the momentum of the game," Miles said. "Both of those things kind of worked hand in hand and you could just see our guys growing in confidence."

Palmer scored 16 points during a 30-8 Nebraska run to close the game, including a layup that gave the Cornhuskers their first lead of the second half with 4:35 remaining.

Did Grayson Allen try to trip another player in Duke’s loss to Virginia?

Did he? It is very clear in the video that it was a punk move. I mean, even in full speed I could see it, but with the benefit of slow mo and several replays, how is this even a question? The kid finds any way he can to cheat. The offensive player blew right by him, with ease, so all he could do (in his mind) was try and trip the player. But, it is Duke so...
