Only 10 Remaining Regular Season Games

[HuskerFever]

We did this just before Cupcake Season in December. How about another check-in to see how we're performing to expectations?

 

We are 14-7 (5-3) right now, tied for 5th in the Big Ten, 11-1 at home, 1-5 on the road, and 2-3 against top 25 opponents.

 

Here's a look at 81 of the HHCC participant's preseason expectations:

 

Predicted Number of Regular Season Wins:

1-13 wins: 0

14 wins: 3

15 wins: 1

16 wins: 8

17 wins: 13

18 wins: 14

19 wins: 21

20 wins: 12

21 wins: 7

22 wins: 2

23-31 wins: 0

 

So I ask again, this time it's based on overall regular season expectations, "how are we performing to preseason expectations?"

And KenPom was originally putting Nebraska down for 14-17 at the beginning of the season!

He still thinks (and maybe rightfully so) that we can't win on the road.

We haven’t so far we are 1-5 on the road our offense hasn’t traveled very well

After Monday, we'll be through exactly half the Big Ten regular season and we'll have played all 5 other teams in the current top 6 and won't see any of them again until Madison Square Garden.

That's an amazing scheduling scenario.
