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

[HuskerFever]

After a long offseason and a slate of exhibition games, basketball season is about to begin!

 

For those new to the game, just join. It's easy. Make a prediction in the HHCC prediction thread and you're in. Here is a refresh of the HHCC scoring and rules thread:

 

 

As a reminder our guest predictor, Ken Pomeroy, won last year. Shame on us. We're better than that. Let's not let that happen again.

 

THREE THINGS THIS HHCC ROUND:

 

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

 

2) BONUS (-5 points): Predicting the exact number of non-conference season wins (Nov. 7-Dec. 4, Dec. 17-Dec. 20) -- (e.g. I am looking for an answer like "13", 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. 7-Mar. 5) -- (e.g. I am looking for an answer like "33", 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

And already I'm wondering if we can really beat Maine....sigh. But I won't have many opportunities this season to pick us to win, so gotta take what we get.

I think we should just rename the contest to "Ken Pomeroy HHCC Invitational" or "HHCC KenPom Classic".

Any Husker worth their Salt should be better than Ken Pomeroy. Where did he go to school anyway…?

Once again, thank you for putting this together - at this point, it is about the only thing I have interest in regarding Husker hoops.
