New York's Team 81
Another team from Nebraska to beat 63

 

[espken]

Omaha Steaks - 53
New York Cheesecake - 84

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Looks like Omaha start two 6'2 guards and three 6'8 forwards.

Both guards shoot over 40% from 3.

Forward Marquel Sutton averaged 19.1 points and 8.0 rebounds on his way to Summit League Player of the Year honors.

Have an 8 man rotation, all upperclassman.

On a side note, I thought the annual redmen pool was stickied but I can't find it. Anyone have the link?

Wonder why they did not play other Div 1 local team, Creighton???

Wonder why they did not play other Div 1 local team, Creighton???

Maybe because they were picked 8th in the Summit League preseason, and Creighton either wanted someone thought to be better (even on that level), or they took pity, and decided to spare them.

It's crazy how they are like 10 minutes from Creighton

Ten minutes and 47 corn fields.

Won’t even entertain the thought of a competitive game in this one. We’re too good.

Stay healthy and hopefully get starters some rest for Saturday. LFG!

 

[mattc]

Easy win. Stay healthy.

 

[Ray Morgan]

First NCAA game from most of our guys and probably most or all of their players as well. Expect some early game jitters. That seems to be our M.O. anyway. Then we get in a groove. CRP has been preparing the guys for this moment all season. I would highly doubt Omaha has seen our style of play. Still, with the long conference season, it will be interesting to see how others match up with SJU.

 

[Treasure Coast Johnny]

I doubt Omaha has played any team that plays defense and rebounds like the Johnnies. Expect huge differences in points off turnovers and points in the paint.

 

[Beasts of the East]

Does anyone know the game times for Saturday yet should we win Thursday?

 

[RedStormNC]

Does anyone know the game times for Saturday yet should we win Thursday?

Not posted yet but earliest NCAA shows is 12:10.

 

[mjmaherjr]

Not sure if there is a stat that supports this but also maybe slight advantage ( thinking more for Saturday ) that we've played in Providence in conference play so it's not a place that our guys are unfamiliar with
