Maybe, but last season he was a good to very good shooter. So we have a season of good and a season of bad. That's not really a new phenomenon and I can think of more than few examples where players rebounded from a down year.

Ideally, it’d be a bit of both.

This is an big offseason for Wilhelm. I think he's got the talent to be a consistent performer at this level. Would love to see him take a big step this offseason. I think some combination of him and Kieta will be a big answer to how they replace Walker. If CJ sticks around, I think he'll be poised for a big bounce back next season.

Man, what a gut punch. Feel terrible for the guys. Derrick, Sam and Emmanuel, thank you! This has been an incredible ride. Let’s go for a little while longer! Keisei, please don’t let this be goodbye.

I ran that scenario and this happened...

12 seed is still in play if they go less than 2-0 and the other two both go 2-0. That feels unlikely, but it's out there.

this is covered more thoroughly in the Big Ten Tournament thread, but the scenario described above no longer appears on the generator.

Nu currently sits in the 10 seed spot after both Wisconsin and penn st lost. interestingly, playing around with bracket scenarios, I noticed for scenarios where the canceled MSU/MINN game was not made up, nu lost the tiebreaker. In scenarios where it was, and MSU won, nu won the tiebreaker. Not sure if these is how that would play out in reality but something to keep an eye on.

That way, when Sam fouls out, they can just switch jerseys and go back in the game.

How crazy is it that the son of a former NBA player is good a basketball?!?

Listen to Creighton on the radio. lol. Why would I do that to myself, my loved ones or anyone parked next to me at a red light?

I deleted the other one. @HuskerFever has been over it all year!

Possible. PSU and Wisconsin are the immediate focus. Let's see how the next week goes and regroup after the Minnesota game. I'm hoping tomorrow is not the classic Nebrasketball clunker we've all come to know and love.

Kinda need Rutgers to get their poop together

They haven’t been anything special on the road this year. So hopefully they don’t start bucking that trend this weekend.

...assuming they win at least two games...

There is also at least one scenario where NU wins 3 more and still ends up as the 12 seed.

As I ran it, 2 wins, however they come, put us in good position for the 10 seed. That also assumes the rest of the games go according to the favorites, which they won't, so there are a ton of variables at play.

I got curious about what NU needs to do to get out of the Wednesday games. In short, Pass Penn St. and Wisconsin. Huskers are .5 games behind PSU and 1.5 back of Wisc. NU owns the tiebreaker over the Badgers. PSU owns the tiebreaker vs NU if they end up tied. If all three are tied, NU would be the 10 seed, I believe. Penn St. has 5 games left, 3 on the road, but two of them are at Minnesota and Ohio St. The rest of their schedule is vs. Rutgers, at NW and vs. Maryland. Challenging. Wisconsin has a tougher slate, though 3 of their 5 remaining are at home: vs. Rutgers, vs. Iowa, at Michigan, vs. Purdue, at Minnesota. Also challenging. NU as you all likely know, get three home games in a row vs. Maryland, Minnesota and Michigan St. before finishing at Iowa. If anyone stumbles vs. Minnesota, it could be the difference in playing Wednesday vs. Thursday.

I mean, not only would we have to win out, but Minnesota would too except for the game vs. us, so... More realistic, win two and we should have a decent shot at 10th. Win 3 we'll be sitting pretty for Thursday.

Oleg and Keisei

Holy crap! What a win! Didn't see that one coming at all. That may have been the best performance of the season. Don't look now, but with a three game homestead looming, the NIT dream isn't dead yet.
