NBC on FF contenders...with flaws. http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2016/10/14/college-hoops-contender-series-three-flawed-final-four-favorites/

Hayes was one of the most inconsistent players in the country last season. He could look like an NBA combo-forward one night and a guy that doesn’t belong in the Big Ten the next. He could score 32 points against Milwaukee and follow it up with a 4-for-18 performance in a home loss to Marquette. He could score 30 at Purdue and then shoot 2-for-15 in a Big Ten tournament loss to Nebraska. On the season, he shot a dismal 36.8 percent from the floor and 29.3 percent from three, which is not a good sign for a team’s highest-usage player.

He’s not the only inefficient star on the Badgers, either. Koenig hit one of the best shots of the season, drilling a fade-away, step-back three at the buzzer as he disappeared into the bench in a second round win over Xavier, but on the season his shot just 39.2 percent from the floor and, as a point guard, finished the year averaging 2.4 assists in 34 minutes.

The end result for the Badgers was terrific, but individually, both players left plenty of room for improvement in their first post-Frank Kaminsky season.

Part of the reason the inefficiency of Koenig and Hayes is a concern is that Happ has a chance to be special. He averaged 12.4 points and 7.9 boards as a redshirt freshman, and there’s no reason to think that he won’t improve at the same rate as every good Wisconsin big man has in the last decade. Putting a big that good on the floor with a pair of inefficient, shoot-first stars is not generally ideal.

This just in from one of ESPN's boxing reporters...

"Breaking news: With Gennady Golovkin vacating the Dec. 10 HBO date, plans are now in the works for junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford to take over the date. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN he is working with HBO on an opponent and hopes to bring the fight to Crawford's hometown of Omaha."

One small problem with that. Creighton is playing Longwood at the Clink on the 10th, Baxter Arena is booked for UNO, and the MAC has wrestling. So:



Stay tuned. That Longwood game might be moving.

I'm hearing the game will be moved to Friday night December 9th. Creighton will have played Nebraska a couple days earlier on the 7th and Longwood has a game against George Mason on Monday which keeps it from happening on Sunday.

I don't like that. The team may be looking past Nebraska for the big Longwood game that is now just two days after.

Looks like Creighton's home game against Marquette on January 21 was just picked up by Fox to be broadcast nationally at 1:30, instead of the previously scheduled 3:30 game on FS1. Nice!

OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton men's basketball home game on Saturday, January 21 against Marquette has been moved up two hours, and will now start at 1:30 p.m. Central.

One major reason for the change is the decision by FOX to pick up the game nationally.

The game had previously been scheduled to air on FS1 with a 3:30 p.m. tip time.

The contest is the second Creighton home game this week to change. Previously it was announced that Creighton's game against Longwood was moved to Dec. 9 and will now take place at 6:30 p.m. on FS1.

Please note season tickets, single game tickets, parking and hospitality passes printed with outdated information will continue to work for the adjusted date and/or time. For a complete men's basketball schedule visit www.gocreighton.com.

If things go according to plan he's probably a first round pick as early as the 2017 draft. While this is helpful news for that game, my understanding is he was highly unlikely to be eligible that early in the year anyway.
