HHCC Game #01 - vs. Western Illinois (Nov. 9, 7:00 PM CST)

[HuskerFever]

Look at us. Hey, look at us. Who would've thought? Not me.

 

 

Another offseason in the books. We're just around the corner for our first tip-off of the season! The leaves are changing colors, the Halloween costumes are going back into storage, and the sound of squeaky shoes on hardwood floors is about to become your new ringtone.

 

We've just wrapped up our exhibition games, so now it's time to post our first HHCC prediction thread!

 

For those new to the game, check out the HHCC scoring and rules thread:

 

But to keep it simple: just join. It's free, good for your soul, and helps break up the monotony of the season. And who doesn't want to prove they're smarter than Ken Pomeroy?

 

THREE THINGS THIS HHCC ROUND:

 

1) Your score prediction for Nebraska vs. Western Illinois (as usual).

 

2) BONUS (-5 points): Predicting the exact number of non-conference season wins (Nov. 9-Dec. 1, Dec. 11-Dec. 22) -- (e.g. I am looking for an answer like "11", which indicates the number of wins you predict Nebraska will win in the non-conference.)

 

3) *Predicting the exact number of total regular season (non-conference + conference) wins (Nov. 9-Mar. 6) -- (e.g. I am looking for an answer like "31", which indicates the number of wins you predict Nebraska will win in the entire regular season.)

* This will not count as a bonus (and it will not count against you), but in the past years it has been a missing data point of interest that would've been useful in seeing how closely we have come to predicting the outcome of the season
