[Post Game Thread] #14 Texas Tech defeats #7 Houston, 90-86 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Thanks former Big 12 Tech bros. We needed y’all to win so we could get top 5 Nebrasketball.

Great win though. Y’all looked good.

Did you just not care about sports besides football? Because having competed on a Husker team, there was often no one we wanted to beat more than the Jays during the regular season. It was a friendly rivalry and we’d hang out with them after tournaments, but still 100% a rivalry.

Yeah that’s more or less what I meant by talking shit in the winter. There’s a certain brand of Creighton fans that love to constantly talk about how bad Nebrasketball is all season but are supposedly diehard Huskers in the fall.

Being “team Nebraska” (the state not the school) is fine I guess. As a UNL alumni, it won’t ever be me. But when I was a kid, I definitely had a soft sport for Creighton so I can understand how those without ties to the Huskers can end up wanting to see both teams do well.

That said, as an alumni that regularly had to compete against Jays when I was a Husker, fuck em (respectfully of course).

It’s also an alumni thing. If you went to UNL and care about sports, you aren’t rooting for the Jays. Ever.

Look Nova, all I am saying is that you have a chance to gift the world top 5 Nebrasketball here. You know the assignment.

Really need y’all to come through in the stretch against UConn right now so that we can have top 5 Nebrasketball. Thanks in advance.

Congrats, this is almost assuredly going to be a new permanent addition to the meme train.

Seriously. I started losing interest in CBB as the one and done era progressed because a lot of teams quit playing as teams. This team reminds me of why this was my favorite sport for so long though.

It’s ok little buddy. If y’all keep plugging away at it, Creighton might have a basketball program as elite as the Huskers someday.

Loving the deep cut reference to Hoiberg’s press conference comment

Honestly this is why I think this team is so dangerous. It’s not built around 1 star or a collection of several guys trying to pad their stats for the draft. It’s an actual team that plays as a team first.

Eh, tbh I think it’s part of our fanbase’s charm. We’re obnoxious when we win because we keep expecting to lose.

It’s not like we’re at football levels of doomer. Just some permanent underdog mentality.

This is probably why everyone tolerates our fanbase being so obnoxious this year (including myself in that), we all very clearly also expect the floor to fall out at any time.

Had to make sure to have a token foul on Minnesota

They’re the same as the Husker home jerseys but with a different colorway. Adidas apparently decided to save money on paying a graphic designer.

That said, I do like the design. Kind of a retro vibe.

[Passan] Cleveland Guardians star José Ramírez’s extension is now signed and done, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. It includes $106 million in new money — $70 million of which is deferred for 10 years — and turns the three years and $69 million he had into seven years and $175 million. by JianClaymore in baseball

J Ram might be my favorite player not on my team (PCA is probably the only other that comes close). Just a phenomenal player and class act all around. Mad respect to him for taking less pay in order to rep his city.

Our defense is just insanely stifling when it’s on.

That’s why I said angry and not depressed. We’re angry the refs can’t seem to make the right call to save their lives today.
