Is it too late to vote for a single digit win?

@op - make these polls public so can laugh at the non-believers

We are a winner and Pickle Smoochers is a loser.

Accurate af. Listen to the Illinois version and see what real play by play in that situation should have sounded like. Homer or no, you are being paid in that role for a reason. I also assumed so screw-bauchery had occurred when he went full blown tuorette.

God forbid the guy who’s been doing that job for decades and has only seen shit basketball get excited on a buzzer beater 3. It was a road game top 25 matchup. Pavelka has earned the right to react and make any guttural noise he wants.

Great postgame commentary from the Peacock team

Dude, their actual analysis before the game, at half, and post-game was excellent. Its almost like they watched the game and did their homework.

Seth Greenberg for ESPN acted like he was unaware that Coach Hoiberg had a son on the team.

Top 15?

Kent feel free to keep doing trippy foot nail polish vids.

If you’re Kent you have to lean in on that now.

Yep—and if you’ve ever really listened to KP, his reaction tells you everything you need to know. If you think otherwise, it’s a pretty good sign you haven’t spent much time listening to games called by KP. And if Lawrence had missed, that call would’ve sounded completely different.

Love Jordan Cornett. He was talking about "pace and space" when everyone else was talking about how poorly Illinois's bigs played on defense. Well, there was a reason for that.

I can't really blame anyone for not being a complete believer in the Huskers. Too much history. That said we are going to keep tearing shit up. No doubt in my mind.

THIS. It's like the Peacock guys actually watch the games vs. look up what the preseason narrative of each team. Seth Greenberg is a dope. The Gerry DiNardo of CBB.

Good listen with Sam Hoiberg from this morning….

Good listen with Sam Hoiberg from this morning….

at 37:16, after Gary asks his question, his body movement and facial expressions look like he is under the table flogging the bishop…

 

[Huskers633]

Are you saying that was a bigger shot?

TTU was mediocre that year and so was Nebraska. This yrs Ilini is a Final Four pick.

Not at all. You said you don't remember a buzzer beater in your life. I was simply pointing one out.

I am well aware of different positions, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t impact who is in the rotation. When Essegian was healthy he was 8th man in rotation and we were going smaller lineups with him on court. It’s no coincidence Garcia only started getting minutes when Essegian got injured. He has taken full advantage of it and it’s more balanced rotations as a result.

Garcia would not be playing if it wasn’t for Essegian’s injury.

Garcia playing right now doesn't have anything to do with Essegian's injury.

Garcia missed a lot of time in September and early October with injury. The staff was bringing him back slowly, and on top of that when he played early in the season he would get lost in the rotations on defense and that kept him off the floor. However, since the SC Upstate game he's been much better defensively and has given good minutes. Leading up to yesterday where he was great.
