2020-21 Husker opponents

[OmahaHusker]

Actually kinda crazy how fast it's spreading among these teams. It's basically inevitable we're going to get postponed too, just don't know when. I'm getting very tired of this.

Has anyone said why Nebraska and UNO aren’t playing this year? Why not just schedule Nebraska vs UNO on Thanksgiving at this point?

Before all is said and done, we may play Omaha.  Just saying...

Fixed that for you...

Here's BTN's advertised hoops schedule for opening day Wednesday - a sexruple-header?

• NC A&T at Illinois, 1 pm
• NC Central at Iowa, 3 pm
• E Mich at Michigan St, 5 pm
• Tenn Tech at Indiana, 7 pm
• E Illinois at Wisconsin, 9 pm

(Yes, I'm watching Rutgers-Michigan football. Don't judge me.)

The only positive?  We don’t have to worry about the game in front of us running long!

Looks like my Wednesday list of things to do is complete. When will I find time to make my annual batch of Oyster Dressing Pontchartrain now??

I'm pretty sure that's still illegal in Nebraska.

I wouldn't count on that - keeping with tradition, BTN will probably show the Rutgers-Michigan football replay before our game so the overtimes bleed over into our scheduled tip-off time. They'll join our game with about 7 minutes left in the first half.

Double nut kick If that’s happen!!  We’d have to watch Noah have a hell of a game and then be late to the Huskers basketball.

Looks like they have 3 or 4 good guards.  2 they start and a sharpshooter off the bench.  Their best shooter is from Nebraska and had the best 3 pt % in the country last year as a starter.  He's not real tall so that will help.   Looks like they have a new PF that will help their rebounding.    He looks like he can score a little too.   The strength of their team is the guards though, they look a bit thin at the post as far as experience scoring&rebounding.  

 

I think to start this game Nebraska should go with the big lineup and start from there.

Agreed. They don't have much height off the bench, so let's go with Yvan in the starting lineup and bring Thor off the bench. Put McGowens on Kuxhausen — the sharpshooter. We should have a better starting lineup either way, but the real difference may come when we go to the bench: Thor, Stevenson, Walker, Webster and maybe a little Andre.

OT / opponent's opponent, but interesting story:

I’m watching Rutgers right now. They’re currently ranked 24. It could very well be my husker-goggles, but I feel like Nebraska is just as talented, as this Rutgers team that’s ranked just inside the top25 (maybe even more talented). (Assuming that Nebraska is shooting as well as they are capable of.)

And watching Michigan, currently ranked 25, I think Nebraska looks just as talented as the Wolverines too.

I don't know about Michigan, but Geo Baker was sitting out for Rutgers.  I'd say that they will look like a completely different team when he returns.

I know that comparing scores is a pointless exercise, but Creighton defeated NDSU today 69-58. CU shot terrible from 3 going 8-35 (22.9%), compared to us going 9-32 (28.1%) against NDSU. NDSU won the rebounding battle against NU (51-42) and CU (41-27). Turnovers were similar (17 to 16) for NDSU but we had more steals than CU (11 to 4).

It was a 20 point game for most of the game.

It was for most of the second half, but it was still a 5 point game with 2 minutes to go in the first FWIW. If CU shoots anywhere close to what they usually do from 3 it's a larger final margin for sure.
