Agreed.

I think Gonzaga might have a tough time regardless. Not sure they’ll have enough quality. And losing to Michigan by a billion was tough

uggg looks like they are gonna pull this out. I am a zaga hater (it's mostly a petty thing) and this would been nice. they likely will have one hiccup in their conference but have 2+ pretty much moves them down a seed

Ya I’m wrong on my original comment. Alabama win and ucla win should be good enough. And I think UK will figure it out a bit too.

That’s probably enough for a 3

Hmm, I'm not sure that was the right call on that lane violation. I don't think Cooper's foot came down in the lane before the ball hit the rim.

Did he cross the line? Pretty sure it's been that way since Wilt showed he could dunk them.

Rienk Mast continues his dominance at home - he has only lost one home game (against Creighton two seasons ago) in his Nebraska career.

Morez is an absolute beast. Illinois flat out should have matched or exceeded what he got from Michigan to keep him. This is like watching one of your home grown stars blossom into a superstar on another big market team.

Michigan looks as dominant as the back to back UConn championship teams. Indiana probably screwed up by not firing Woodson earlier and giving May whatever he wanted.

Morez is shooting more 3s at Michigan than he did at Illinois, and also being used as a scorer. He didn’t get to do any of that at Illinois. He’s proving to be far more than just a rim runner or rim protecting garbage man of sorts

Man watching Morez win a national championship this year is going to be rough.

Brad should take a lesson from Dusty and learn how to actually manage minutes. Would likely have Morez if Brad had simply played him instead of trotting out Ben for 30 minutes a game early in the season.

Now we have to watch him trot out Jake Davis all the time and we will watch Petrovic and Lee transfer out this off-season. Jake seems like a nice kid and he plays hard but you're not going to be a national title contender with him being a part of your rotation and you aren't going to beat good teams with him and Ben on the court at the same time.

If we're being totally unbiased (which we won't), Morez made the right decision for his development. May has had a really nice track record when it comes to developing bigs. Also got paid handsomely.

He's a menace this year, likely even bigger one next year.

Mast and another guy told the fans to stop the court storming in the post game press statements.

Listen. We're not used to winning. Easily the most futile basketball program in the country for my entire life.

Forgive us if we get excited when we beat anyone that might be good 😜🤣

Fair enough. I think it’s because Nebraska is also ranked that made it seem odd. But I’ve defended court stormings in the past so I shouldn’t be critical here. It’s sports and if fans want to storm the court no one else should care. Storm away.

Did Peacock just give up and make college basketball available to anyone with “cable” now? I get it on YouTube TV on NBCSN and I noticed my father in law also gets Peacock basketball on his traditional cable too.
