That is, in fact, where his nickname comes from.
That Nova Uconn game was a fun one. The 2nd tech on Hurley might be the most bizarre I have ever seen. No idea what that ref was thinking.
Nova would be a really interesting matchup for us in the tourney. They have some big guards that like to post up, which we struggle with. But they have almost no size down low. Purdue did beat them by 6 earlier this year. I think out of all the potential 2 vs 3 matchups, Nova might be my top choice.

Thought after Nebby finally won a game that it looked like they had started to figure something out. Seems the only thing they figured out was that they are only going to win one game. Last night, they looked like a team that is ready for golf season to start.

They get Iowa at home this Friday night. Hoping they’ll be locked in for that one.
Agree. And in he first meeting in Iowa City, Keegan was just getting back from an ankle injury.

Hope so too but not optimistic. They looked like toast last night. Was reading their message board thread on the NW game (less than two pages of posts!?) and it was mainly a funeral procession for Hoiberg. Iowa is their last home game this year and it might be "Say Goodbye to Fred Hoiberg Night" in Lincoln. Didn't realize that program has only had 3 20-loss seasons and all three were under Hoiberg. Yikes.
Another stellar investment by the old Nebraska AD. The size of his buyout is ridiculous.

I've seen Iowa play a few times lately. Much as I love Kofi, I couldn't argue with Keegan as B1G POY. Will be interesting to see if he stays another year. He's ready for the NBA but his twin is probably not quite there yet. Patrick McCaffery is becoming a very good player as well. Looks to be everything we had hoped CoHawk would be. Still has a bit of finishing to do but I expect he will be a problem by next year if not sooner.
