jimmykc Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Even though summer is still winding down I couldn't resist picking up this year's college basketball edition and doing a quick perusal. Mainly paying attention to Nebraska references, a few things stood out. 1. Big Ten is rated fourth best conference, behind ACC, SEC, and Big 12. 2. NU rated 34th best team 3. Writer Lindsey Willhite picks us fifth in the league (he used to be sportswriter for a suburban Chicago paper but is presently PR man for Chicago hockey team) 4. Good news: he thinks we are invited to the dance this year. Bad news: Also picks us one and done.5. Copeland and Palmer are two of the top 150 players in the nation 6. He says first team All-Big Ten swingman, James Palmer Jr. will lead the way and as he improves his 3-point accuracy he'll become "close to unguardable". 7. Head scratcher: He goes on to leave Palmer's name off All-Conference First, Second, or Third teams. Guess we'll see as autumn kicks in. Oh, by the way, KU is number one rated team.

jimmykc Posted September 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 A few other tidbits: 1. Probably the game at Clemson is the only one we should play as an underdog in the preseason ( they are rated 5th in the ACC). 2. Creighton and Seton Hall are rated 7th and 8th in the sixth rated weak Big East. And Okie State is rated Dead last in the Big 12. 3. Mike Daum is projected as a first team All American.

Handy Johnson Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 If Jim Palmer was 1st team All-B1G LAST year and is now approaching "unguardable" status why wouldn't he be on the 1st team again? Oh well... we can send this bozo a postcard from our Sweet 16 site! hhcmatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
