Neither team has looked that good so far this year.  Hopefully the lid comes of the basket for the Huskers and they kick some tail.

 
I wish their play in the first two games gave me more confidence.  Once again, they bring in some players that are supposed to be great shooters....and we still suck at it.

 
If Fred let's Trey or Kobe run point most of the night, this one might get ugly. 

If he let's Verge run point, this one might get ugly.

It is mind-boggling how this keeps happening year after year (yes, I know it's still early this year but....)

 
Both teams have looked really bad in their cupcake games. Both near the bottom of the 350 or so D1 teams in terms of 3 point shooting %. Not expecting very attractive basketball.

Some of these guys, particularly the Japanese Juco star, are known for hitting 3’s….something has to give, there’s no excuse for the clunkers we’ve seen.

Have no clue what happened between the exhibition games and the games that counted, but both the exhibition games they shot near 50% from 3 as a team. I think a lot of it is because the ball has been sticking to Verge's hand in a way it didn't in those two games. The ball movement hasn't been there as a result except in the McGowens, McGowens, Wilcher, Breidenbach, Andre lineup.

I think this might be a get right game, though. The basketball team has had the same propensity as the football team of playing down to their opponents (did so against Peru State too, but Peru State is such a level below that it didn't matter in the end like with Western Illinois and almost Sam Houston). The one "good" opponent they faced they buried them within the first 15 minutes. One thing in NU's favor is that IIRC the primary ball handlers for Creighton are young (1st year freshmen) and Colorado's was littered with younger players too. I like their chances to get some confidence at the start of the game and then just maintaining the rest of the way for a 5-10 point win.
