Looks like NU is going to win at IU. I don't even know what to think of that. Just seems weird. Is IU that suspect, or is this just one of those flukes?
Watson, Morrow and Roby all playing really well.
Nebraska's last 2 games were at home, loss to Gardner-Webb and a close win over Southern U. I'm guessing fluke.
Final and an upset, NE over #16 IN, 87-83, Assembly Hall stunned.

Loss on the road at Maryland definitely better than a home loss to Nebraska
Morrow and Watson who supposedly weren't good enough for Illinois looking real good at Nebraska.
Wow! Way to go Huskers! Always great to see the Hoosiers go down. I STILL fully expect us to go there and get embarrassed by 35 or more next week. Absolutely zero confidence in our team. I may change my prediction in our matchup with Nebraska now, too.
IU with the early lead for most interesting resume. Wins over Kansas and UNC, losses to IPFW and Nebraska.
I loved morrow's game in the high school playoffs, but not sure if he had interest in us either.

I saw a pocket of conversation yesterday regarding the end of the Oregon / UCLA game and the court storming that the Oregon fans did after the 3 pointer, thinking the game was over, when in fact there was .8 or .9 seconds left. They managed to get everyone off the court to finish the game, but there were those (Bill Walton, of course) that thought there should have been a technical foul on Oregon for delay of game. My personal feeling is that the clock showed 0.0 and the fans reacted to that and they shouldn't have been penalized. I hate court storming as a general rule, but I think the refs acted appropriately by just letting the game continue as/is.
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts?
see the point but most conferences are suppose to have procedures in play to keep from storming the court. In addition, it was the home school's timekeeper that made the mistake. The clock is suppose to stop when the ball goes through the net. What would have happened (and they discussed this a little) if UCLA would have inbounded the ball (because the clock should have stopped) and the player with the ball / going for the ball / etc. hits a fan?
Nobody thought Morrow wasn't good enough, it was a matter of need and interest. He would have been redundant with Leron in the class ahead of him, and do we even know if he had any interest in us? It's not like we straight up didn't go see any of his games, the opportunity was there for the kid if he was truly interested in UI, but he's from Lincoln, both his parents are Nebraska alums, and he was only in chicago to increase his bball exposure. All public accounts were that the family wasn't very happy there and wanted to go back.
As for Watson, he's the classic bird in the hand, but it's hard to fault the staff for going after Evans and Brunson. Wish we had him though
The refs control the clock, not the clock operator at the bench.

They don't stop the clock, only start it on inbounds play.
No, the belt packs they wear do both functions. The clock operator is a backup option.

So your saying the official is going to be able to watch and call the game, make a call and then reach around and find the button to push so they can stop the clock? I don't think so.
It's automated via the whistle.

You may be right, but I disagree. Right before the ref hands the ball to the player in bounding the ball, he blows his whistle. The clock doesn't start then!
I am not sure but the whistle wouldn't blow on a made basket. I thought I had read as well (at least in the NBA) that the clock was controlled, for the most part, by the officials (not the shot clock though). However, I don't think the refs would be stopping it after a made basket... they have other things they are watching?
