2021-22 Husker opponents

[throwback]

This site has us playing in a 4-team MTE in Lincoln:

Nebraska MTE

TBA: Lincoln, Neb.

• Nebraska (Big Ten)
• South Dakota (Summit)
• Southern (SWAC)
• Tennessee State (OVC)

 

So I think that means we can schedule 29 games plus 2 in the MTE (31 total) under the rules that were supposed to go into effect in 2020-21 before they changed them for Covid. I assume those rules will go back into place for 2021-22.

Piecing together the comments...  with some guesses on dates...

 

11/12 vs Sam Houston State
11/19 vs Idaho State
?11/23? vs [Team TBD]
?11/28? at Creighton
?12/04? at [ACC Team TBD]
?12/08? vs South Dakota
?12/09? vs Southern
?12/10? vs Tennessee State
?12/15? ?? Auburn
12/19 vs Kansas State
12/22 vs Kennesaw State

Not seeing a lot of room for those December conference dates.

I thought Cray-in would be here this year.

I would guess the MTE would be around Thanksgiving and so that would free up some December dates.

It is. If past years are any indications we'll probably host them around Dec 4th or so.

When is the Big ten championship football game?  Usually same night...

I read somewhere that, because it qualifies as our contest for the Gavitt Games, it'll be early, like one of our first 3 games or so. That's definitely beneficial for us given that we'll have the more veteran team this time around.

I'm sure Creighton fans are going to feel very trolled by the spelling of "Blue Jays".

Check out the very first reply to that tweet.  It's from a Creighton fan taking the bait.  Yeah, there's absolutely no doubt that was an intentional troll.  My God they have got to be the simplest group of people that has ever existed.

I prefer the U.S. Highway 6 Showdown.

It could be trolling or it could be whoever put that graphic together spelled Blue Jays the way it is supposed to be spelled.

Colorado finished last season as the #8 ranked team in KenPom.  They're bringing in the #11 ranked recruiting class.

 

T-Rank projections has them as the #50 team going into 2021.  Nebraska is at #57.

Perfect opponent for something like this. Should be fun!

[throwback]

That'll be a fun game. Noon start on a weekend - hopefully Raycom will have the broadcast. 

 

I just hope we didn't offend any Colorado fans with our spelling of Buffa Loes in the graphics.

We knew this all along, but I'm glad they finally admit that Colorado is charity.

[49r]

NC State finished last season ranked #71 in KenPom, and they're getting the #25 recruiting class.

 

Bart Torvik's predictor has them starting next year at #75.  Nebraska at #57.

[hhcmatt]

Looks like the Auburn game will be Dec 11th in Atlanta

A new opponent. I'll take that, at least. Hopefully we can get some more high profile matchups with some on-court success the next couple of years.

 

Also, has the Auburn game actually been confirmed by anyone?

It's coming from d1docket who gets is info via FOIA requests.  I'd assume this will happen unless there is something that causes it to fall through.

[uneblinstu]

Gotcha. Thanks!

Auburn finished the year ranked #60 in KenPom.  They have the #74 recruiting class (one 5* and I think they have a number of really high profile transfers coming as well)

Bart Torvik projects them to start 2021 as the #18 team.  Nebraska #57.

Xavier Silas, Anderson, and Ricardo Patton hopefully will be in attendance on Halloween
