I am 38 years old and I am plenty old enough to remember those groups.  Piatkowski was my all time favorite as a kid, and was the player that got me hooked on the husker bball.

 

We have never had players with the skill set of Roby and Copeland together on the same court (Minus last year of course).  Now they have a season of basketball under their belt, and I just don't think timing has ever been this good.  

 

All I can say is it is asinine to think it would be acceptable for this team to "NOT" make the NCAA tournament.  The only way this team gets a pass not making the dance is if they have a season similar to Minnesota this past year (Just knocked on wood)

 

Respectfully disagree with your middle paragraph.   Agree with your last one.

Please list the two 6'8+ players with a better skill set Roby and Copeland?  I am being honest when I say I have never seen two Nebraska Bigs with the athletic ability, shooting touch and ball handling skills as they have.  You are being a homer if you think otherwise

 

The closest you are going to find is Tony Farmer and Carl Hayes in 90-91, and neither of them could shoot the 3

 

3pt Shooting

 

Carl Hayes (90-91) = 1-12

Tony Farmer (90-91) = 7-30

 

Isaac Copeland (17-18) = 41-111

Isaiah Roby (17-18) = 17-42

 

Sorry, but it is not even in the same ball park!

 

Overall Shooting

 

Carl Hayes (90-91) = 192-390 49.2%

Tony Farmer (90-91) = 138-287 48.1%

 

Isaac Copeland (17-18) = 159-337 47.2%

Isaiah Roby (17-18) = 95-168  56.5%

 

Closer, but Hayes and Farmers obviously took more 2pt shots

 

Copeland and Roby are just more versatile, and I think you are a historian to think it is even close.

 

By the way... I said this multiple times ROBY NEEDS TO SHOOT MORE!!!

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

EDIT... Take away the 3pt shots and Copeland and Roby's percentage go WAY up!

 

Copeland = 118-226 52.2%

Roby = 78-126 61.9%

 

Also...

 

Farmer - 283 points on 287 shots (.986 pts per shot attempt)

Hayes - 385 pts on 390 shots (.987 pts per shot attempt)

 

Roby - 207 pts on 168 shots (1.23 pts per shot attempt)

Copeland -  359 pts on 337 shots (1.06 pts per shot attempt)

Copeland and Roby have the most diverse skill set of 2 front court players 6’8” and above I have watched playing at Nebraska.  Roby’s Ceiling is just ridiculous.  I want to see them take the next step and turn it into consistent production.

 

If I had to pick two players 6’8” and above to build a team around I would pick Mikki Moore and Venson Hamilton, though.  You would lose perimeter scoring but having the top 2 shot blockers in school history protecting the rim is a beautiful thing (not to mention the best rebounder in school history).

If Roby, with everything he now can do, also had Carl Hayes' abilities to score from 17 feet and in, he would be a lottery pick and be destined to appear in several NBA All-Star games.

 

Similarly if Copeland was as good at rebounding, interior defense, and scoring in the post as Tony Farmer, he'd be a first round pick.

95-96 and 96-97 have the best arguments against this years team to be the "Best Nebraska Team" to ever grace the court.  95-96 was sick and probably has the best argument, but you also have to remember Lue and Hamilton were freshman

 

96-97 - Cookie Belcher (FR), Venson Hamilton (SO), Mikki Moore (SR) and Tyrone Lue (SO)

 

95-96 - Jaron Boone (SR) , Erick Stiickland (SR), Venson Hamilton (FR) , Mikki Moore (JR) and Tyrone Lue (FR)

 

2018-19 - Palmer (SR), Copeland (SR), Watson (SR), Roby (JR)... Jury is still out on Allen and Jordy's potential

It astonishes me that Jordy has chosen to not be a part of what is shaping up to be an historic season for Nebraska basketball.  In 2029, they’re going to be walked out into center court at PBA to celebrate whatever huge things they accomplish this coming season and someone’s jersey will be retired and these guys will get an extended standing ovation and someone is going to ask the name of that one center who quit the team just before the season. And whoever they’re sitting with will say “give me a minute, it’ll come to me. But, damn, Roby was such a great kid, not just a great player.” And the other guy will say “That whole team was full of good players who were also good kids.”

 

And they’ll continue cheering and applauding the 2019 team and that’ll be the last time anyone will mention the kid who quit.

If the standings we're this way, Michigan State, Michigan, and Indiana would get selected into the tournament.

But that would happen only last year.  Future Selection Committees are unlikely to return to last year’s fiasco of creativity.  What happened in 61 years of prior history is likely to prevail again.

Bart Torvik updated his projections to take out Jordy. IIRC,  we were about 28th (6th) before. He must not have seen Jordy play. Kinda cool: he sees Brady contributing 3.6 ppg and 3.0 rbp. I'd take that.

T-Rank now has dropped us to 43rd and 9th in the BIG, with a 41% chance of making the tourney. While the prediction might not be worth much, Torvik's added some detail to his preview.
