2024-25 Husker opponents

[49r]

At least we won't have to suffer watching games on Oregon's hideous court:

 

But there is some concern that what they come up with will only be worse than the old one.

 

[Huskerpapa]

I'm hoping our new court will be old school.  I think they have the design down to two or three.

I'm not sure you can look at that and say whether it helps us or not. 

 

From a spectator standpoint, it will be cool to see UCLA at PBA.

Basketball Reference says we're 1-4 against them all time.  Any idea if we've ever played them in Lincoln?

Year 3 was the same, Lat never did turn out ok, who was Keon?, and Bryce ended up pretty good for a true Frosh

So-- 5 games in, this is where I am at.

 

1.  My five players who should be getting the majority of the minutes are...... Kobe, Bryce, Wilcher, Wilhelm, Walker

 

2.  My three players who should be getting the majority of the backup minutes are....... Andre (at the post) and Keisei/Verge at the guard position.

 

3.  I just don't know what to think about Lat.  He hasn't shot well at all in basically every game he's ever played here.  He also doesn't do well enough in other areas for me to justify him playing a ton of minutes.  He must show out really well in practice.  I'm not a coach, I don't see what happens every day in practice, however his production in games does not justify his minutes played.  JMO from watching games only.

 

4.  We're getting better, but have a long long ways to go.  Unfortunately, it's looking like Year 3 is going to be the same in that we have a huge growth curve to overcome to start the season.

 

5.  With that being said, the talent upgrade is starting to show.  Bryce is looking really good for a true frosh.  Boy I wish we could have gotten one more year with him.  I really like the idea of Wilhelm being on the floor for more minutes BUT he's going to have to learn not to foul.  Wilcher looks good, even if he had a rougher outing.  

 

6.  Interesting seeing Keon continue to start.  I don't think we can sustain BOTH Keon and Lat continue to start.  Too little production on the floor to start games.  Keon and Lat should probably be fighting for who is the 9th many.

 

7.  Absolutely have to win these next two.  Even with winning these next two, there's a real chance we'd be welcoming Kansas State at 5-6.

Keon was Keon Edwards.  He transferred here from DePaul.  Thought he was going to be something, and then he wasn't.  Started for awhile because Trey was hurt.

Thaaaats right.  Totally forgot about him!

Looks like we're starting off the season with a W, facing a bad program with a new coach

Wonder when TBA will turn into actual teams for the Diamond Head. You would think it’s getting late in the scheduling process for some.  I’m not expecting much from those last two teams.

 

That St Mary’s game should be a great test and sneaky good Non-Con game.

Pretty sure that is all 11 non-con games right there.

I’m good with this schedule. Should be able to get a bunch of wins and good NET before big 10 play.

Will there be any Gavett games with the Big East this year? Wouldn't NU be under consideration for a game this season?

That went away for good in 2023.

Thanks for the snazzy graphics, dimes. That St. Mary's game will be a fun one in Sioux Falls.

Surprised the Big Ten and the Big 12 haven't pursued a game, as of yet. I suppose they already have one against the SEC.... the B1G-ACC Challenge is the only one remaining for the Big Ten, since the Pac-12 is no more a consideration.

 

[Huskerpapa]

St. Mary's is an underrated great game at a neutral site.  Double-header weekend for me in Sioux Falls.

Not sure we will have a good NET before big 10 play unless we beat Creighton.  Not alot of other challenging games on the schedule other than St. Mary's.

I think the whole non con schedule was easier last year and we were just fine.

I'm kinda torn on this subject. On one hand I would like to see Fred substitute one of those cupcakes with another high level mid-major, but on the other I know how difficult those two December B1G games are. If those two TBAs for the Diamond Head Classic turn out to be top 50 opponents, and we get the opportunity to play one, then I'm OK with the non-conference schedule.
