2018-19 Husker opponents

[bigFRED]

That is the perfect scenario to round out the non con, add a mid major team but that isn't a bad RPI, and a D2 game that won't count towards that. Perfect

It's not an exhibition. It counts as a game.

 

Thanks..I'm still a bit fuzzy on these type of games.  Does it count to your overall record but just not for metric purposes?

Correct

The same Southwest Minnesota State that was at one point leading us by double digits in an exhibition a few years back?

I believe so.. Pretty sure Miles coached there back in the day.

Summit League starts conference play in that Dec 28-29-30 area, so that game won't be a Summit team. Looks like Missouri Valley does the same thing with its league schedule.

 

My guess is we have a D2 game in one of those slots, although a lot of D2 teams don't schedule games between end of 1st semester and Christmas, so it'd probably be the Dec. 29 game if we go that route.

I must say the time outs were rather interesting.  I am still not sure what was going on during them.

Cal St. Fullerton and SW Minnesota St are the final two opponents (in order of dates)

 

4 games v. NCAA qualifiers and 2 v. NIT qualifiers from last season.

He did, from 1997-01. His point guard from that era is the current SMSU coach.

 

Also, a side note that somebody might find interesting, probably one of their biggest conference rivals back in that era was Wayne State (exhibition opponent this year), who was then coached by Greg McDermott.

[AuroranHusker]

Great for NU to get SMSU. I was hoping for a D-2 game to help with the scheduling strength (by not hurting it!).

There's a good section of the book Nebrasketball that discusses this.

Was that the game where the Creighton Prep grad intentionally fouled Shavon Shields on a break-away basket and we thought we'd lost him for the season?

 

And all the Creighton fans, who showed up as pseudo-Southwest Minnesota fans, cheered?  MFers.

This is a thing!?!? Oh, my god. Quick. We need to come up with some pejorative moniker that ridicules them.

 

I've got it: "Bluehusks"!!!

 

Something like that. I'm working on it.

Quoted for emphasis. This was the perfect finish to the schedule

It's almost as bad as being burdened with working at that institution in Iowa City.

How though does a D2 team work in the NET?  Will it be the same as RPI?

I can't say I've searched high and low, but I haven't heard this specifically mentioned. Until I hear differently, I will assume that D-2 games will continue to be excluded from all of the metrics on the NCAA tournament team sheets and everything. A small clue is in the image below which specifically references D-1 winning percentage in #3.

Of course, the game in IC this year has been scheduled during the week I'll be out of town. Dang.
