Not a game, not a game, not a game.

Think college basketball's quality of play is down? You're wrong. Stat master Ken Pomeroy tracks more data than you can count, and he reports that the 2016-17 season set men's college basketball records in free throw accuracy (70.4 percent) and 2-point percentage (49.3). Plus, 36.4 percent of shots were 3-point range, the most ever, and 30. percent of points came via 3s, also a record. College hoops' gameplay is getting better.

Only 40 days until the Huskers play Eastern Illinois in the 2017-18 season opener at the Vault.

SI projects Copeland as the No. 29 scorer among transfers at 11.1 ppg, Palmer No. 54 at 8.0. Neither of the freshmen make the top 50, which takes at least 7.5 ppg.

Sports Illustrated’s 2017-18 college basketball projections are a collaboration between economist Dan Hanner, SI’s Chris Johnson and SI’s Jeremy Fuchs. The system uses college and AAU statistics, recruiting rankings and coaching data to project every Division I player and team.

I found this pretty interesting in regards to player projections for the year ahead:
