Now it's a six point lead with 10 seconds. It seems like we always have the kind of teams that could even give that up.

Make it an eight point lead with the free throws.

Nebraska beats Michigan State.
Creighton beats Villanova.
I couldn't ask for a better day.

Can't believe they had not won at NW since 2008. Another reason Tubby had to go.

Beat me to all three things: not seeing it, w is a w, Tubby's failure to win at NU. Great minds.

You're not going to win many games where the other team gets up 15 more shots than you and you shoot 56% on FTs. We played their game, which sometimes happens, so it was good to see us make plays in the last 5 minutes to win.

Where would this team be without Little Dre? He's without a doubt in my mind our most important player right now. I'm pretty disappointed in the Hollins boys, especially Austin. He played good D on Crawford yesterday, but he needs to assert himself more offensively. Dre might be slowed by his ankle still, but if we're going to make a run, he needs to get back to being our best player.

No shock at all there. PT vanished with Tubby's departure.

So loses a BB scholarship, I wonder if the track team gave him one or they are like baseball and just give half scholarships?

Tell that to Usain Bolt, or countless others. What's wrong with doing what you love? It's not always about the money.

He has a legit shot at the 2016 Olympics in the high jump.

On the other hand, he's played 110 minutes of basketball over 2 years. He had no future in that sport.

Yeah, there was a direct quote from the kid in the St. Paul paper that he wasn't considering the Gophers because his brother wasn't playing at all.

Man, if we only would've played a 31% shooter with a 1:1 rebound to foul ratio, with 2 assists, 1 steal and 0 blocks in 110 minutes...

But boy can he jump high!
