Tre Demps still is a doppelgänger for Lenin.

And his wardrobe needs help. Maybe Lloyd Yates can help.

Ok help me out here. 11, and others on Nebraska, keep doing this thing where they get the ball up top and as their cuts cuts behind, they throw out their *** into the defender trying to follow . Isn’t that illegal?

Have you watched Chris Paul or James Harden or almost any NBA PG come off the screen roll recently? It’s developed as an effective mechanism to create space and prevent the defender from closing if they try to chase over the top of the ball screen. Even Boo does it a bit at times. I’ve never seen it called as a foul unless you do something egregious.

I haven't watched the NBA in years, so no. It just seems to me to be another version of the moving ball screen. The guy hands it to the point, the point cuts behind him, the guy moves his *** into the defender following and body blocks him. Apparently it isn't foul as they were doing it pretty consistently, but it seems like crap to me.

Always nice when we win.Not a thing of beauty but I will take it.Only three games left in the regular season so the game Friday against State Penn is a must win if we do not want to play on Wednesday in the BTT,because our next game after State Penn is against the hottest team in the conference io-a.

If we lose to PSU we're basically locked in to Wednesday no matter what, as they would then be 1.5 games ahead of us in the standings and would also hold the H2H tiebreaker, and still have a home game with Nebraska left on their schedule.

Very illegal, if there's contact. I (a HS official) have noticed D1 refs let college players get away with all sorts of illegal picks. Drives me crazy.
