Sitting at 78 at KenPom & 88 on ESPN's BPI.

I think Creighton has a top 20-ish team, but they haven't adjusted to being "the hunted" vs being "hunters". I think even though they've had the better team recently, the still haven't thought of themselves as "the hunted" against NU. I hope they don't have a big let down Wednesday against Indiana.

Creighton women lost today to an unranked team too.

Has to be either this one or at Wisconsin last year.

In theory yes, but it hasn't worked that way before this year. I think they are going to run into issues in the B1G because they really only have two 3-point shooters on the team (Tominaga & Wilcher). Gary, Bandoumel & Griesel are all capable, but not consistent (25-30%). Technically Dawson is shooting 40%, but he's only taken 5 and one of the two that he took yesterday was about the ugliest shot I've seen all season. They say that Breidenbach can shoot them, but I haven't seen evidence of that in games (he looks OK in warmups). They were at their best last night (and against FSU) when both Tominaga & Wilcher were on the floor because BC had to guard the entire floor.

Currently have 6 players averaging 10+ points per game.

Derrick Walker makes a big difference.

Hate that officials don't think they can call a foul every time a pressing team plays hands on defense.

If the officials stop swallowing their whistles, NU will be fine.

Hope no one bet the over (159.5)

They are shooting 41% from 3 on 23 3's per game. I'd say they can shoot pretty well.

Line is up to 10.5 We will learn a lot about the Huskers tonight.

Other than free throws & that 3 minute stretch in the first half, I thought they looked a lot better than they did against Maine.

Hopefully the team plays all 40 minutes tonight. Get them down early and don't let them back into the game like they did against Maine.

Huskers win 100-36

They do most of their practicing in the practice gym at the Devaney Center, but I think the contract they have with the city allows them to practice at PBA the day before games and possibly more often.

As it should be. Too bad this wasn't in place before Brad Davison ran out of eligibility.

It's game day & the line is Huskers by 20. Hopefully they don't come out slow like they did in both exhibition games.

ESPN's BPI predicts 14 wins (out of the 29 known games - 2 are unknown opponents in Orlando) w/ 8 conference wins. That may be overly optimistic, but I don't think it's unrealistic.

They do still publish magazines. I get one every month even though I've never subscribed (and no one has told me they got me a sub as a gift). Usually look at the cover and then toss it in the recycle bin.

37-30 @ half

PAC 12+ sucks. Can't even cast it from my phone to my tv.

We could listen to the radio call, but we'd have very little idea of what is actually happening in the game.

ESPN has put out their B1G preview. Not much love for the Huskers - all the "experts" have them either 13th or 14th. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/34845769/big-ten-2022-23-conference-preview-league-national-title-drought-end

Like I predicted, we didn't learn much about the team. Hard to learn much when they only run 2 plays the entire game and play a team with no one taller than 6' 8". There will be a lot of film for the coaching staff to use as teaching moments.
