HHCC Game #01 - vs. Texas Rio Grande Valley (Nov. 4, 7:00 PM CST)

[HuskerFever]

The time has come. If you're unfamiliar with Husker Hoops Central Challenge (HHCC), it's simple. Just submit a prediction below. If you have the lowest score, then you have bragging rights until the next game. Get the lowest score at the end of the season and you get proof that you're smarter than everyone else (professional sports statisticians included).

 

Here's a quick refresh on the rules:

 

If you've made it this far and still haven't submitted a prediction, what's the deal? It just takes a few seconds.

 

See you in the HHCC threads.

 

THREE THINGS THIS HHCC ROUND:

 

1) Your score prediction for Nebraska vs. Texas Rio Grande Valley (as usual).

 

2) BONUS (-5 points): Predicting the exact number of non-conference season wins (Nov. 4-Dec. 1, Dec. 22-Dec. 30) -- (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. 4-Mar. 9) -- (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

And I'll take it a couple steps further.  We win one more in the B1G Tourney and get our first win in the Dance.
