Hmmm I missed that one. Can't see any scenario that would result in me pulling for the Horns.

Get some ballers in here and show some flex on this "person over player" culture thing. Do your best to keep them inside the lines and worry more about remaining relevant year after year. Big new basketball arena depends on reloading and not rebuilding.
This is the elephant in the room. Balancing it is key. The culture is just a little too soft right now. I believe you can succeed with positive culture and support it. But nothing wrong with some fire

I do not care how good or bad our defense was, their shooting was absurd tonight. That is a tough way to go out.
And all you idiots on here, "our guys don't care, they don't try, Drew can't coach, etc." please get a life. You are ignorant.
Our team had flaws, and tonight showed many of them. We will be back. We are really spoiled now. It was just not our night.
I usually want the teams that beat us to go all the way. Creighton, not so much. I did not care for their attitude much; from coach to #11 and especially #55.
Anyway, shooting like that is VERY hard to beat, when we have no inside game at all.
The 2021 season was incredible. We've also gotten bounced in the 1st and 2nd round of the tournament in 5 of the last 7 tournaments we've been to.
I don't like the change in recruiting strategy. I think it gets away from what made us successful.

Nah. Terrible backside defender. Can be ignored on offense.

Last year when we lost early, I was thinking the same thing: Mark Few is a good coach & a friend of Drew's. Let him have a natty since we were out. Then they lost early too & I remembered several Big 12 teams were still in it.
Stefano DiMera said:
Yep..we need guys who can guard multiple positions
Other than Bridges nobody can guard another position..and most can't even guard their own position.
You made MBG with this awesome post.oldbear69 said:
