  1. On the other hand it was also the type of schedule that got us into the tournament last year

  2. Hello friends. Launched season two of my podcast today with a new episode giving some general thoughts and takeaways from the intrasquad scrimmage on Sunday afternoon. You can listen on Apple, Spotify, or the podcast platform of your choice. New this season, you can watch episodes on YouTube on HuskerMax’s channel if you prefer a visual medium for podcasts. Will have lots of content coming throughout the season. Had some fun summer episodes including conversations with former Nebraska head coach Tim Miles, former Nebraska assistants Michael Lewis and Ali Farokhmanesh, and SEC associate commissioner Garth Glissman. Check it out if you feel so inclined or if you need more basketball content in your world.

    Scrimmage vs UTAH

    Direct quote from Fred at Big Ten Media Day. Asked about how last year’s scrimmage against Utah showed him what they’re getting in Rollie: “Well he made four 3’s against us in the first half. So I told him, I know you like shooting in PBA.”

  4. It's that time of year again; Ken Pomeroy just dropped his rankings for the new season and hoo boy does the Big Ten look like it's gonna be a slog! Once again Nebraska comes in with an all time high ranking to start the season (Hoiberg era) at #56. Two spots ahead of last year's starting position. In terms of predicted league finish, he's got Purdue winning the league title comfortably, then the next FIFTEEN schools are predicted to finish between 11-9 and 9-11. 5 teams each in the 11-9, 10-10, and 9-11 groups. Nebraska is predicted to go 16-13 (9-11). Okay, and for the first time this season, here we go! KenPom rankings as of 10-14-24 ======================= B1G (0-0): 10. Purdue (A) 23. Illinois (H) 26. UCLA (H) 29. Oregon (A) 31. Ohio State (2) 33. Iowa (2) 35. Michigan State (A) 36. Michigan (H) 37. Maryland (2) 39. Indiana (H) 46. Wisconsin (A) 50. Northwestern (A) 56. Nebraska 57. USC (H) 59. Minnesota (H) 61. Penn State (A) 63. Rutgers (H) 75. Washington (A) Non-Conference (0-0): 307. UTRGV 301. Bethune Cookman 351. Farliegh Dickinson ---Sanford Pentagon--- 34. Saint Mary’s 12. @Creighton 265. South Dakota 253. North Florida —Diamond Head Classic--- 112. Murray State 128./198. Charlotte/Hawaii 144./136./79./173. Oregon State/Charleston/Loyola/Oakland 249.

  5. It would seem that Rollie Worster hit four 3s in the first half of the scrimmage at the PBA. The guy has never made more than three in a game in his entire career.

  6. Really the question is whether or not we need those types of games to figure out our team because it's not like playing a tougher schedule and then losing those games is some sort of great alternative to playing a weak non-con. Our non-con does limit our exposure to meaningful win possibilities but at this point the B1G looks like most every game will be meaningful for making the tourney.

  8. Oooooooooooor knocking the barn doors off Creighton would help too. I prefer my scenario

  9. Well, that would make the Saint Mary's game pretty crucial for us then. Flip that game to a W in our favor then do the rest of the things as predicted and we'll have a much stronger case for a tournament berth.

  10. I just realized that Ken is not including the last two games in the Diamond Head Classic in this prediction. We should be favored in those two games so my best guess is his actual prediction would be more like 18-13, which, with our SOS probably puts us in NIT lock territory.

    USC at 3 and UCLA at 5 make the B1G an elite conference.
