Oh great so he didn’t even come up with that dumb **** himself. Not surprised. Anyway I always believed Nikki Moody. Women don’t come forward like that for no reason despite what the bill fangirls told themselves. Including people like Chris and Brent and Jamie. Much easier to scapegoat and blame a player than their golden boy. There’s a lot of smoke behind him being an *******..oops sorry a “tough coach that not every player can handle” kids these day amiright!?

While I think there are issues, and there were issues some back then, that lawsuit was a bunch of bs.

My recollection was the argument was thy were racially based issues. The entire point with Bill is he is generally an equal opportunity ass. Back then it seemed like it was more just a coaching style and now it has turned into a single player at the cost of the team thing.

I've been screeched at for stating this undeniable fact before.

In the 21st Century, the highest seed he has beat in the tournament is a 6 seed, once.

Ugh.

What season was that?

 

[AlCyJim]

If we can get a couple of decent transfers......We might have enough bodies to field a team.

we have 3 plus incoming freshman so only need 1 for a team and maybe 2 for subs. it will be fine

 

[cyclonespiker33]

Ugh.

What season was that?

2022. The same tournament we lost to a 10 seed with an elite eight on the line

Death by a thousand backdoor cuts from Creighton.

Again, you and I disagree on most things, so the semantics of the wording and meaning might as well be another one.

No, it wasn't a semantics issue. Your messaging was straight up out of whack and inaccurate.

I still have all of my eligibility so maybe I can get another grad degree. Granted, I have only played half the court with six girl basketball and I am Medicare eligible, but at least I am available.

Meh, I'll disagree on the Nikki Moody thing, she just went after some easy money after not making/lasting in the WNBA.
Before she sued she actually showed up at a ISU pregame at Baylor(?). It was a few yrs back but I went to the game, but I'm just not sure of the team any more. I don't think that many people actually recognized her from what I remember.

Wasn't that the yr Creighton beat Iowa and ISU both?

You’d break a hip.

Ah, yes, that one. Thanks for refresher. (I remember losing the 3-10, but didn't recall who ISU defeated before that)

Yeah, from a player’s mom, the one not to be mentioned was the one doing what she was claiming bill was doing basically. She was a cancer on the team.

I’ve wanted Bill gone for several years now, regardless of how many games his players have won for him. This is a big time business and JP needs to make the decision to cut him loose. He and his family have made millions despite his teams underperforming year after year. Injuries aside, he’s obviously alienated a lot of players which won’t make easier for rebuilding via the portal. And by the way, when I wanted Billy Boy gone a few years ago I got burned on this message board by his ball washers. I guess some of you have changed your minds

Yes, set up for a CyHawk Sweet 16 and Creighton beat both.
