Thank you Ghost. Nebraska is having a tough year, and I tip my hat to them for playing a brutal schedule, but anything can happen.We already talking about getting back ups in? Can we play the game first please?
These are the ones that bother me the most. The upside is that we get an expected win. The downside is a disasterous loss that will put a major, major dent into our hopes of a high seed. We have three games left like this.... Nebraska (2) and Northwestern. The expected outcomes are that we win all of them, semi comfortably and I don't even want to think about the unexpected.
Not to be harsh about it, but if they drop a game like this upcoming one, even if on the road, or to NW at home, then it's likely they don't have the team character to last long in March.People are talking about playing the bench, and here I am remembering past years where this is exactly the type of game we drop to start a spiral into despair. Granted those teams didn't have Ayo.
Agree. They will lose at least a few games abs this hand wringing becomes academic. Unless we slip up and lose a few more too, in which case we wont really deserve a title abs shouldn’t gripe about not getting a title with 6 lossesThey haven't even played a game against Iowa, IL or OSU so far. And they lost to Minnesota. I'm not sold on them as being best team in B10, and the B10 shouldn't be sold on it either.
I'm suddenly uninterested in basketball and obsessed with understanding the sleight-of-paw that went into the production of that thoroughly beguiling GIF.Oh yeah
NET isn't exactly the same as KenPom but it's close, and KenPom projects a 15 point game at Nebraska right now. That seems about right. NET will only see this as a Quad 3 game, which won't look good as a loss.Ballpark, how much do we need to win by to keep our Net ranking where it is? I understand that the ranking doesn't directly look at margin of victory, but it does seem to look at it indirectly, through points per possession on the offensive and defensive side. If so, and assuming an uptempo game, do we need to win by 20 or so?
As long as your user name doesn’t take on a new meaning, I’ll be happy.I want to see Kofi get 10 dunks in the first half, and our backups with serious minutes in the second.
But a W over the Huskers will absolutely make my Friday night no matter what.

That is what I guessed.
Well done!
I really need this GIF reversed and with The Who playing in the background.
Take heart: LostinLincoln is one thing; LostOutsideScottsbluff is quite another.As long as your user name doesn’t take on a new meaning, I’ll be happy.
I shared this post with my wife and having lived in Scottsbluff for a few years, she completely agrees with this postTake heart: LostinLincoln is one thing; LostOutsideScottsbluff is quite another.

That would be *puts on sunglasses* purr-fect.I really need this GIF reversed and with The Who playing in the background.
I see now that it’s almost time for the foregone conclusion that is Fridays game. What if the Illini were all 14 inches tall? Now, what’s your predicted score for the mini-Illini?Bob Swerski: Okay, some predictions from the sports fans on Friday’s game. Pat?
Pat Arnold: Illini, one forty-nine to twenty-tree.
Bob Swerski: Carl?
Carl Wollarski: Illini, one forty-nine to fifty-two.
Bob Swerski: Okay, some difference in opinion there between you guys. Todd?
Todd O’Conner: Illini, four hundred and two to zip!
Bob Swerski: Okay! Real good!
Todd O’Conner: But, Ayo Dosunmu will be held to under two-hundred points.
Bob Swerski: Todd, one-hundred thirty-eight points is the record.
Todd O’Conner: “Was”.
Superfans: Da Illini!
