I find it shocking that CU would shoot 20 more free throws than the opponent at home...

I know what you mean! Only 20 more free throws for CU at home, and in such a close game. Its a slippery slope to fair officiating in Omaha I tell you!

CREIGHTON WINS!! CREIGHTON WINS!!!

They beat the Fightin' Lumberjacks 74-70!!!!

Now I understand why there's so much optimism in Omaha this year!

GO Valley!

No worries. Their savior isn't available yet.....

We have the NCAA in our hip pocket.

Okay, that made me laugh.

On a serious note though, we will be getting to the line a lot more this year than under Altman. McDermott-ball has the ball getting fed to the post a ton and shots coming from within the paint, while Dana-ball had a lot more three point shooting. McDermott's style naturally draws more foul calls.

As to the game itself, our wing play has me worried. Probably the least amount of talent we have had there in about 15 years. Thankfully, our big guys and PG are pretty talented. And thank goodness for little Mac; that kid has great instincts and a really good skill set.

Is Young going to survive the season playing 38mpg? Who is the backup?

Is Young going to survive the season playing 38mpg? Who is the backup?

A very valid concern. His backup is freshman Jahenns Manigat of Canada, who is really a 2 (and actually has looked pretty good so far at the 2). The hope is that as JM gets a little more time, he can get more minutes at PG. After that, the remaining PG is a walkon.

Out of curiosity, and since I don't know the answer, how many minutes did Hannah average, per game, last year?
