I don't think Hoiberg coaching sick had anything to do with the cancellations. That seems a bit shorted sighted. I do agree it was bad optics.

The worst of the optics is he looked ******* dead on the bench and his assistant coach (probably rightly so) was constantly bathing himself in antibacterial soap.  Also didn't play well that he was so sick that he couldn't finish the game.

Memphis up 5 at half on Bama.  Both teams have 11 turnovers 

 

Arizona St up 1 at Creighton with 26 sec to go 

Arizona is more than capable of screwing this up.

I hope Hoiberg survives this. It's nice having him at Nebraska since games against his teams there have all been wins for IU. I don't want them to bring in someone better.

What's strange is he finally is bringing in some talent there....with no change in results.

Is Emoni Bates the next Skal/Harry Giles? He's not a good basketball player. He's Example A of why AAU basketball is god awful for the sport.

Memphis up 5 on Alabama at the half.

How many of you would bet on Memphis being ahead at the end of the game?  That is....how many of you think a team coached by Penny Hardaway can be ahead of a Nate Oats team after 40 minutes?

Missed the front end and Creighton has the ball down 1 with 6 sec to go.

Nembhard takes the inbounds pass, dribbles upcourt, stops at the 3-point line, steps just inside and takes a terrible shot. 

Apparently, passing the ball never entered his mind. I hate those kinds of plays in the final seconds. Too easy to defend.

(BTW, Mason Miller -- Mike's son -- who chose Creighton over us, is redshirting this year).

Nembhard is a very talented freshman.  He won a game at the buzzer for them earlier in the year.   As he gets older I believe he will learn to make the right play in that situation.

Yeah really thought Nebraska might be alright until they lost to someone terrible opening night (not looking it up, feeling lazy)

We’re due for a long Memphis drought here. They’re up 9 with 15:14 left. Alabama wins if it hits a near-average number of threes down the stretch.

Memphis has lost 4 in a row.  They desperately need this game and the Tennessee game this week.  I think they find a way to win one of them but it would have nothing to do with his coaching.  Lol

Memphis is rivaling Oregon for ugliest/weirdest court. That doesn't even look anything you'd play basketball on.  

 

[Stuhoo 80,855]

Memphis is seriously en fuego 

[NOLA Hoosier 1,267]

Memphis is on FIRE.

Oh my word Memphis is making friggin’ everything.

Yep.  Could be wrong about them hanging on.  Can't see them blowing this lead.

Off the top of my head, I think it was Western Illinois.  Could of beat Eastern Illinois, but believe it was one of the directionals.
