Just made the trip back from Memphis and now I'm off to bigger an better things.... Updating the final standings for HHCC!

 

Let's take a pause just to reflect on the great season this team had. I won't even be able to do full justice, but this team achieved the 2nd most wins in program history, punched its ticket very securely and not having to sweat it out during Selection Sunday, won against some opponents we've struggled with mightily since joining the Big Ten, defeated the #1 team in the nation, and put up some record shooting performances throughout the season.

 

Sure, the team fell short from an NCAA tournament win. But this team will be hungry to get that win next time around. Let's just not have that elapse another 10 seasons. This team has proven in back-to-back seasons that we're a February team and we deserve to play against the best.

 

Now, for what you all have been awaiting for... the final results for the 2023-2024 Husker Hoops Central Challenge! As the saying goes, don't cry because it's over, cry because you lost...except for aphilso1. You won. Well done! And that now officially makes aphilso1 the only two-time HHCC winner!

Finally made all the picks and finished 13th. Going for the top 10 next season! And hopefully I can do that by not picking against the Huskers again because it’s such a great season! At least I don’t remember picking against them. 😁

Yes! Beat that SOB KenPom for once!!

 

Thanks for running this @HuskerFever - it always makes the season a little more interesting and I appreciate the effort!

I seem to do better when NU does better, I have a hard time pickin' against NU. Finished 6th, had been top 3 but my heart took me down 3 notches, it is what it is. GBR Always.

Always good to knock down Kenny P. And, yes, Fever does a mighty fine job each year. The recap at the end is the best to see how the history stacks up, dimes is lapping the field in top tens. I'm up to 4, with an 11th place finish back in Freddy's 1st yr. still holding me back from that top 4-or-5 in the league all-time. Oh well, still a fun journey. I'd be interesting in learning the HOF: all-time top 20's @HuskerFever.
