Call me Homer on this one. Our vibes are just too good right now.

 

NU by 6 

 

(wish we were playing at home....could be the difference for MSU, but we can play well on the road)

i agree----if defense shows up like it did against iowa, huskers could definitely walk out of there with a 'w'. i expect a back and forth game---a number of lead changes. has the makings of a good one. being a road game, may need to hold msu to around that 65 mark. i think a shootout would be advantage msu.

That is what Jeff (Griesch) said during the Duke game:  "You Don't want to get in a shooting-match with Duke; But then right after Taylor Kissinger answered with a couple of treys he said: "Maybe you Do want to get in a shooting-match with Duke!" 

 

(But then again we won't have Taylor Kissinger (6 treys) available for this game. )

We shot about 37% 3's in the Iowa game, without Kissenger. Not a great percentage...but certainly decent. If you would guarantee a near 37-40% at MSU...it would be another reason to like our chances.

 

Interestingly in the Iowa game we didn't make a 3 in the 4th qtr.....and only shot a 3 once.  Was it coincidence or intentional ?

[Red Don]

It seems like anything over about 33% is pretty good for treys.    We've also seen some additional players step-up with treys since Taylor is no longer available, so I'm liking our chances for a Win.

Speaking of 3's,  @AuroranHusker posted some stats for Treys by the Men, which got me to thinking (always a dangerous adventure )  there might be something similar for WBB.  (just don't ask me What it all Means!  )

yeah, i laughed when i heard jeff state that too. not that the huskers won't or can't light it up (like they did at iowa a few years ago, and i think it was at Purdue and someone else could probably think of a few more over the years). just think with both defenses and msu at home, odds of a high scoring game are low.

 

msu defense at home averaged 48pts----having said that, during non-con, i don't think they had real stiff competition.
