Everything is so far from their airport.
Nothing like KC but it is diametrically opposed to Muncie on the 465 dial. And it is a hell of a lot easier to get to than O Hare (thank god the El got extended)
Denver may be the worst. It's almost in Nebraska.
Denver’s airport also has a demonic-looking blue horse statue with glowing eyes that creeps me out every time I fly there. Nice town, but no thank you to that airport.

Keeping it real, I thought UCSB was a tougher matchup for us. Creighton really doesn't scare me much. Their fans looking down their nose at mid-majors is a wonderful example of lacking self-awareness.

They are significantly more cocky than the Virginia fans were, which is hilarious because I can count on my hands how many years it’s been since they were a mid-major themselves... And while they may have “moved up” to the Big East I am feeling pretty good about our Sweet 16 run compared to their storied history of 2nd round loses.

This kind of reminds me of Xavier fans and the sheer irony that every one of their most memorable March moments in recent memory has come from a loss.

Speaking of Xavier, have to wonder what Jason Carter thinks of his decision in retrospect.

They are still mid major. They just did not admit it

A while back I posted my speculation about what kind of team we would be right now if he had stayed. I am thinking that, assuming we still recruited Wilson III, we would would be even better. I watched a few Xavier games this year and, though he was a consistent starter, he didn’t score anywhere near as much as he did with us. For whatever reason, his role was as a defender and rebounder. And of course Creighton is in the same conference as Xavier and you have to assume that he must be thinking about what might have been had he stayed.

I think his skill set would have worked well with this team. He probably made the right choice at the time given a realistic time frame for a rebuild.

What happens when you listen to the wrong people. But it’s a new culture in OHIO and he made his choice.

How is it that the Ohio/Creighton game has become the priciest ticket of 2nd round? I get Hinkle games will trend higher. But you can get Kansas/USC game tickets in Hinkle for almost 1/2 cost of OUr game. Crazy. Hope that means a ton of Ohio fans are going.



Stubhub Hinkle games tomorrow:

Oklahoma/Gonzaga: Almost 160 tickets as low as $52+fees
USC/Kansas: Almost 200 tickets as low as $90+fees
Ohio/Creighton: only 34 tickets. There is a 6-pack for $176 per seat +fees, the rest are $206+

Could be wrong, but I doubt we have Wilson if Carter stayed....but not sure.

Ohio is by far the closest school playing in Hinkle. Creighton is the 3rd closest (after Kansas). It's the only matchup between schools in relatively easy driving distance.

Yep. Hoping that means Ohio fans bought up the available seats.

As I fast approach middle age, I’ve become out of the cultural loop.

When exactly did we start to become referred to as the “Bobbies” online?

I don’t ever remember this reference until recently.

They are a very balanced team with high level talent across the board. They are not huge in height, but have good athleticism.

They have five players in double figures. They shoot the ball well and have a very solid defensive FG%.

They are an average rebounding team and a below average FT shooting team. They've got a few guys who are good FT shooters, but others who are in the 50%s.

Zegarowski is their leader. He was on some All-American lists last year, and was a pre-season All-American this season.

They take care of the ball...with an excellent assist to turnover ratio.

McDermott is a very experienced and respected coach and he has an experienced staff.

It will be a very difficult test for the Bobcats, but I think the Cats have a chance to pull the upset if we play smart defense on their threes and if we hit a decent percentage ourselves from three.

Imagine living in the rural part and imagine the reliability.

I’m not bitter or anything, having lost an entire chest freezer of meat last summer....
