After the collapse at Minnesota, I’m highly concerned. Creighton played #1 Gonzaga close. Two big and mobile centers. Their coach seems to have a hex on Miles. And they always seem to shoot the 3 well. 

I’m afraid we lose by 3.

If Creighton is hitting their 3's, I  doubt that we will prevail.  If not,  AND if Palmer is allowed to drive without charging, we should be okay.

The Illini played the Zags close and had a chance to tie the game with 1 minute left...on a neutral court.  The jays gave up 105 points and 65 in the second on their home court.  I wouldn't take much from the game vs the Zags...

KrumpleJ is horrible and the other center has knees made of pudding.  This game, I think, will come down to how the refs call it.  I think the skers are going to bump and grind (Like me on the dance floor) and if the refs let it go...NU wins.

 
I think the home court advantage is too much for a young Creighton team, especially for their first true road game. I expect a close one regardless.

Last night's game killed any confidence I had for this one. Creighton by 10+.

Yep....the Minnesota game put a big ol' woof on this week in basketball.  I'm back to being uneasy about the year.

We need to go out and take care of business against Creighton and win by double digits.  Maybe.....the loss earlier this week set the stage for them to have the right mindset going into the Creighton game.

And....it's at home.  If Nebraska plays well, the crowd will be crazy.

 
We usually play better at home.  Not surprising that we haven't always played well on the road (though Clemson was good).  So that should help this game.

I won't be surprised if we find a way to win this one and get everyone fired up again.

Depends how the players feel about Creighton.  Don't need Miles trying to make a call late to screw up another game.

Same thing happened last year.  Watch him when he does not get a call.  He will give the official a look and be late on defense.

Ahhhh, does it last the entire game or does he snap out of it?

Side note...I am starting to think that Michigan, MSU, OSU, MD, Iowa and Indiana are all going to finish in front of the Skers this year.
