Yo, basketball god here again. New offer.

Norm Peterson · December 2, 2015

So, what's it going to be, punk? Feeling lucky?

(You all probably didn't know that basketball god looks almost exactly like Clint Eastwood, did ya?)

I always thought he sounded like Red Auerbach.

And all this time, I thought it was the chair talking...

FredsSlacks · December 2, 2015

the goal should be to finish out the non-con undefeated. no ranked teams. creighton is beatable and rhode isand's best player is out for the year.

Red Don · December 2, 2015

I'll "Take what's behind door #3." This team is growing-up Fast!

(Guess I must be feeling 'Lucky.')

HB · December 2, 2015

took it in a New York minute.

HuskerFever · December 2, 2015

Now that more votes have come in, I'll provide a little justification for my vote (door #3). I think most of us would feel that 18 wins this season would be considered a solid season for us. However, I not only think our team has the potential to exceed 18 wins and I feel the players themselves wouldn't accept that offer either.

HuskerPower #nato73 · December 2, 2015

^{Taking 18 wins is like the Miles quote about not wanting to be "The Little Engine that Could" program. We may end up worse than that but don't take the deal!}

Norm Peterson · December 3, 2015

I'm known as a pumper of sunshine, so this is probably not unexpected, but ...

I took door #3 also.

Huskerpapa · December 3, 2015

I wish for better, but if we get to 18 wins and 9-9 in conference, that would be pretty darn successful.

trickey · December 3, 2015

And if the B1G does as well as I hope they do, we may be on the bubble.

Blackshirt83 · December 3, 2015

If we had beaten either Cinci or Miami I may have taken the 18. Without either of those in the W column I don't think 18 wins and .500 in conference makes the tournament. Pass.

We are gonna be kicking ourselves late in the year for not closing one of those two out.

Fullbacksympathy · December 3, 2015

I'll take it with the stipulation of two conference tourney wins.

AuroranHusker · December 3, 2015

22-15 currently in favor of the 18 W's. Not that I necessarily agree with that 'deal.'

busticket · December 4, 2015

After the year we had in football, and the year we had in hoops last year, I chickened out and went safe. I can see this team shocking people, but............

49r · December 12, 2015

Right now RPI Forecast has us going 16-15 and 7-11 in conference play. If we don't beat URI tomorrow it will go to 15-16 (at best).

Still want door #3?

jimmykc · December 12, 2015

Unless we win tomorrow the RPI Forecast matches mine pretty well.

Is the offer still available through Dec. 31st?

PimpMario · December 13, 2015

Are you kidding? 9-9 would be amazing. I would bet the deed to my house we don't exceed that.

49r · January 6, 2016

As of today RPI Forecast has it about 50-50 that we will finish either 13-18 (23.69%) or 14-17 (24.10%).

The good news though, if you can call it that, is we have 71% chance of winning @Rutgers and 75% next week vs. Minnesota.

2-3 going into the game @Illinois (where they say we're 2.8 point dogs) with a shot at 3-3 wouldn't suck, IMO.

49r · January 6, 2016

BTW, as of now, the odds of getting 18 wins is 0.70%

To repeat:

HuskerFever · January 17, 2016

Bump for good measure.

49r · January 17, 2016

And here's the current probability curve from RPI Forecast (things have improved here immensely after our win @Illinois)

Final Record ------- Probability

21-10 —————— 0.06%

20-11 —————— 0.48%

19-12 —————— 2.24%

18-13 —————— 8.66%

17-14 —————— 18.34%

16-15 —————— 27.88%

15-16 —————— 23.75%

14-17 —————— 14.09%

13-18 —————— 3.89%

12-19 —————— 0.57%

11-20 —————— 0.03%

Sooo, according to the poster "49r" on your little message board, there, RPI Forecast projects your Huskers finishing the non-conference at 9-4 and going 9-9 in conference. Eighteen wins, .500 in conference, that's pretty tempting, yes? 60 members have voted

1. If I offered you the choice of taking 18 regular season wins overall and 9-9 in conference, would you ...
