skip-zip Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Shouldn't we start a thread for the Adrian game first? I mean...I don't want to look past them. We'll need to be focused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I've been looking forward to this game. I'll be in Omaha! Last time there, we had no answer for McDermot. I'm ever hopeful that this trip will be better. Akron 82 / Jays 77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'd love to find something in their resume that shows weakness, but they might legitimately be one of the better teams in the country. I'm actually glad that we're getting them at a peak like this. It's an amazing opportunity to get some national attention. The Bad News - That decisive win over a Top 10 Wisconsin team is impressive. The Hopeful News - UM-Kansas City made a big run at them in the 2nd half, and almost pulled of a road win in Omaha. Speaking of UM-Kansas City.....Has anyone ever noticed their nickname? http://www.umkckangaroos.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Buffalo's playing Creighton tonight. If you are able to log in you should be able to watch the game HERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 It shows our game on this "FoxSportsGo" network also. Does anyone know how it works? Can anyone log in? Or is it like ESPN where you can only get logged in if you pay for their premium channels through your cable or satellite provider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Their backup C went down with an injury and should be out for quite some time, possibly the entire season. Not that that will be enough, but it should help the bleeding some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be on Fox Sports 1, or regular Fox. I remember seeing it displayed during a football game this past weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm looking around a little more now. It's showing FS2 on Creighton's website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to have a cable/satellite login. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you recall, it does NOT let you log in if you do not already pay for that particular channel in your package. And this shows FoxSports2, according to Creighton's website. I run into this problem all the time with ESPNU games, since I don't have the package that includes ESPNU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsjunkie330 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 FS2 is a real channel, not an internet only channel. On DirecTV it is #618 On TWC it is #401 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Watching the Creighton-Buffalo game. They like to get into the open court and run. We'll need to limit turnovers and get back on D. The one weakness that I see is they don't look like a good rebounding team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the cable package that includes that channel, so I was assuming that the internet won't allow me to log into the Fox Sports internet site to watch in on line. I bet it's similar to the ESPNU games. If you don't pay for those extra packages, the Watch ESPN website won't let you log into those games.

kreed5120 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Creighton 41 - Buffalo 39 at the half Justin Patton, their 7' C, is an amazing athletic specimen. He can run the court and has some ups. He needs to bulk up, but there is no doubt he will find his way into the NBA. You just don't see 7 footers do the things he does.

Getting some solid minutes from Hughes, and some fill-in minutes in the post from Poke might be needed on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hughes can't give us at least 15 really effective minutes, we will get waxed. Big Dog and Kwan better stay out of foul trouble. I really hope the Zips make a game of it, but based on what I've seen from Creighton this season, it's a daunting task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) If the Mastadons of Fort Wayne can score a major upset, maybe it's finally our turn? http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/bigten/2016/11/22/fort-wayne-upsets-indiana-hoosiers/94320458/ And I just noticed that this game was played in Fort Wayne??

Skip, I don't know what cable provider you pay to, but I have to guess the expense of upgrading to the top tier of sports packages would be quite inexpensive for you. In my case, I pay Time Warner (or whatever-in-the-Hell they call themselves these days) $8 a month and receive every English language sports network available on their system. That includes something like 30-50 new channels -- 5 Pac-12 channels, about 10 Fox regional and speciality networks (Fox Soccer+), B1G, etc, etc. TWC and ESPN no longer offer their football or basketball "Plus" package -- apparently they want people to use the ESPN3 platform -- even if their favorite school isn't technologically equipped to provide broadcasts. And, as far as Fox college basketball coverage goes, I thought their broadcast of last year's Akron-Villanova game was far better than what UA ever gets from ESPN clowns, where announcers have to make comments like "Wow, that Johnson kid is HUUUGE!" Really looking forward to the Creighton game Sat @ 3:00 I think, HST. We might get the same announcer who called "Throw it Down Jerome".

Z.I.P. Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) The game is a homecoming for Big Mike Hughes. Hope all his homies show up. Edited December 1, 2016 by Z.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) We're too reliant on the 3-ball... but what else is new. Honestly, I'm not in love with our 3-guard starting lineup. Neither Noah nor Josh are quick; we need more athleticism in the starting 5. We're gonna get run off the court by more athletic teams. We started the Adrian game shooting 5-of-15 on 3's. If we start like that -vs- Creighton this game is going to be over before the 10:00 mark. Edited December 1, 2016 by Blue & Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
