    Any reason this loser isn't banned? He is WAY worse than anything Kidney or other infamous banned posters ever were.

    Shot Volume Index

    Just as a refresher in statistics as a method of showing and predicting success ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are what is called the "4 factors" and they're made up of eFG%, offReb%, TO%, and FTA/FGA. This is the way to quantify how teams win/lose by how they shoot, how many "extra" possessions they can gain to take those shots, how many possessions will end in a shot attempt instead of a turnover, and how often you can add to your point total with FTs. Here is Nebraska's at the moment We're getting to the FT line, we're not shooting well, etc....it does a pretty bang up job of encapsulating what we've done over the first two games relative to other teams. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now that we've set the table, here are a couple of articles on something John Gasaway calls Shot Volume Index. https://johngasaway.com/2017/11/15/peer-performance-pressure-and-the-limits-of-coaching-theory/ https://johngasaway.com/2017/03/15/these-are-the-teams-that-can-generate-shots/ The overarching point is to think of Turnover% and Off Reb% not as some sort of individual items with numbers you need to hit but as an individual pieces in how you get more shot attempts. Thus, a team like Michigan who didn't turn the ball over but punted on offensive rebounds generates the amount of extra shots that a team like Oklahoma St did by crashing the offensive boards but not taking care of the ball. Also, last year Virginia Tech was the best shooting team in the conference; however with their poor turnover rate and lack of offensive rebounds their limited possessions had them as the 7th best offense in the conference. I don't know that these numbers are really available anywhere. (Maybe at ESPN Insider where Gasaway works) Overall, I found it helpful when looking at advanced metrics to not overfocus on a poor rebound or turnover rate.

    It's still a head scratcher though, as to how other teams can come in here and seemingly shoot out of their minds.

  7. Over the past 2-3 years I have this searing vision of Husker players desperately running/jumping in futile attempts to contest opposing players draining 3s. Much of this seemed to be lack of a Big and doubling down in the paint, and wasn't quite as prevalent last year. It will be interesting to see what happens this season with our increased size and length.

  8. St. John's has a pair of really talented scoring guards in Shamorie Ponds and Marcus Lovett who are equally capable of winning them a game and shooting them out of it. They added a pair of transfers from Arizona and Michigan State who are starting for them as defensive players, but the team still can't defend (as evidenced by allowing Rutgers to score 80 points). Chris Mullin is a terrible coach who is more of a figurehead than anything else.

    Nice work, KM. Wish an ACL injury on a young lady you've never met, who changed her commitment only when the HUSKERS didn't stick with the coach she was recruited by and signed with. Proud to have you as a Nebraska fan. You have the maturity level of an 8 year old, not to mention a mean spirit. Hide behind that keyboard and keep lobbing bombs, big guy. Would love to see a player's parent find out your pitiful identity and see how that ends for you.

  13. So, people are concerned about 3 point shooting. It's an admittedly small sample size only two games in. On the season, they're shooting .303. Last season, they shot .320. Gulp! I think we'll see that number rise as the season progresses, however. In looking at the numbers through two games, I submit a few observations: Copeland is 0-4 from 3. His freshman year he hit at a .389 rate. His sophomore year, his playing time increased by 40%, and his rate from 3 dropped to .272. He hasn't hit a 3 in a regulation game in 20 months. Once the rust works itself out, I expect him to hit somewhere between those two numbers. He's on pace to play about 800 minutes this year, also right in between his freshman and sophomore seasons. Jack shot nearly an identical percentage in both seasons he's been at NU. It's reasonable to expect him to shoot about .340. So far, he's 1-3. Basically right on pace. He's also streaky. Glynn is an interesting case to me. His sophomore season he took a huge jump from beyond the arc, jumping from .267 to .397. He was a top 20 3 point shooter in the Big Ten, the only Husker in the top 20. I don't know that it's reasonable to expect him to shoot at that high a rate. His shot is still a little flat, but his overall field goal percentage is up from last year, so I do expect his .250 rate to increase as the season progresses. Palmer has forced some outside shots, but he's shown an ability to hit from outside. It's enough for teams to need to respect it, but he's not an elite shooter. If he can hit at 1 out of every 3, that should be sufficient. Thomas Allen has come in and done what we were told he could do. He's hitting at the second best rate on the team so far at .400. That's what some expected of him, but he has yet to face a high quality opponent. Kid looks like a natural, however. If he can maintain something near that number, he'll be a huge piece to the puzzle this year. The biggest surprise so far has been Isaiah Roby. He came in last year with some expectation that he'd be able to hit from the perimeter. He struggled big time last year, only hitting 4 over the course of the whole season. Two games in, he's already halfway there. He's not gonna hit at that .667 rate he's at so far, but if he can settle in at about .333, that would be a big boost. I don't know if they'll be a top 100 3 point shooting team this year, but if Glynn and Allen can hit close to 40% and the rest are at about a 32-35% rate, that should be a good spot for NU to settle into. They'll need to shoot it better than they have so far, but I'd contend history suggests they will.

  14. Only one game in and we've got a perfect score! Dishing out -40 points to @HuskerCager. What's even crazier? The exact same thing happened last year to someone else. Call the Feds!

  17. Also, I like seeing that we are using several players and nobody is playing much more than 25 minutes a game. I just think that will help us out in the long run - less wear and tear on our athletes. And I like seeing multiple people step up and score. Taylor was a bit off last weekend and Bria and Kate were big for us. Last night Taylor was big along with Maddie and Grace. Makes it hard for other teams to scout us. And in another few weeks we will have two more players available. I like it.

    I have often wondered if we practice enough at Pinnacle to give us an edge. Something to be said about shooting a lot in a building you are playing games at. This is a definite negative IMO to the new arena.

    Honestly, the shots look pretty good right now, the difference in them going in or falling off is miniscule. I am hoping that when they are really needed, the stroke and results will be there.

    Copeland still seems to be shooting a flat shot. I have to wonder whether that is back and rusty legs and will improve over time. One thing I found interesting last night was that he shot one 3 after a whistle, shot it with a nice arc and it swished. Then on the next possession he shot from almost the same spot during play, the shot was flat and it bounced off the front rim. Oh, and I think I'm going to use the name "Rusty Legs" as the name of my next country-rock band.

    If Nana really is a gunner in the Ray Richardson/T. Buchanan vain maybe that's what gets him on the floor and earns him primo minutes.

    You people should be blaming the person that started this subject. I repeat "she is not a husker don't talk about her here." When you post on someone WHO IS NOT A HUSKER, you are going to get my opinion.

    If Delaware fans want to wish injury to Kate Cain, that is their right. Just like I have right to wish injury on decommits for Huskers
