Nice find! :good: :good:

Then maybe ESPN needs to put Creighton at Wichita on in prime time and send Bilas here so he can witness the greatness first hand!

Just read that article. After comments during the NIT, I would have been bummed if Koch Arena was not mentioned.
In coach's picks, Turgeon picked Allen Fieldhouse though.
It is too bad we have to waste a game at Koch by going to IBA.

From the linked articles above, Coach Horn:

"Not students. Grown-ups"

thats funny stuff

This is the first thing I thought when I read it was from Bilas. If both teams start strong, maybe a GameDay from Koch?? Hopefully we see a Saturday ESPN game with Creighton tomorrow when the conference schedule is released.

Bilas has consistently been on WSU's side on a lot of things. He has a respect for solid mid major programs. He's one of the better analysts on ESPN. Sometimes his attitude comes off pompous to people, but I really enjoy how he interacts with people. His twitter account is one of the more enjoyable ones to follow.

His attitude sometimes comes off as pompous because he has every right to be pompous.

He was a top recruit out of high school, part of perhaps the most important class in Duke basketball history, won a National Championship, assisted under Coach K, got his law degree from Duke, has a successful practice, was nominated for an Emmy, has a family and is involved in a number of charities including ALS (near and dear to me) and serves on the board for Coaches against Cancer.

I'd be an arrogant ass if that were my resume.

Still, he is on twitter way too much.

Good pub and nice respect.

When mentioning Xavier McDaniel, Cliff Levingston and Aubrey Sherrod, it's interesting that he doesn't mention Antoine. Did he just forget, or are those the only players he could think of off the top of his head?

Yep! He certainly wouldn't intentionally snub Carr. Great HS and college career and a good pro career.

[ShockRef]

Being mentioned in not one but two articles in the same breath as Rupp, Cameron and Allen is mucho respect.

The marketing types at WSU really need to 'seize the moment' and jump on this.


I know the Creighton game is first choice for a potential Game Day and why not.

After watching Matty B tear their hearts out with his famous trey, that was enough for me.

I've been coming out for the CU game ever since. 8)

The only chance we have GameDay coming to CKA is if the Shox or Creighton or both are ranked and a battle for first place is on the line.

We're no SIU.
