Didn't vote. No Neither option. Reminds me of my 2016 ballot.

I'll be at the game too for my only Huskers WBB home game of the season... Likely behind the West hoop in my usual accoutrements. Feel free to drop by!

First 45 seconds of the video is all that matters here:

He has been away from the team for approximately 2 weeks. I'm sure the medical staff is taking all precautions. There is no rush to return him to action until he has fully recovered and has gotten his legs back under him. From a medical perspective we do know that mono can cause weight loss and fatigue, and those symptoms can linger.

I prefer one Pepsi product over all other sodas/pops. It's really just that one, and all others are a far distant second. Basically, it's Mountain Dew or nothing.

You walk right by me, I'm in section 106 row A.

For anyone who may have missed it, here is the Official Box Score for the Cal State - Fullerton Game:

Oh man where do I start.... *That’s a game we lose under Miles for at least 4/6 years he’s coached here. No kids, deadish crowd, break coming up, coming off some emotional wins with illness creeping through the team. Nice to have talent. If Doc was coaching that game with his players, that’s 21-19 at half or something. *I feel bad for CSF’s coach. He had a phenomenal game plan that I expect conference teams to exploit. His team executed the general principles of it well, also. Too bad he has some bone-head individual players who lost him so many crucial possessions when it coulda been made into a real game. *That was an ugly 20 from Roby. I did not think he played well at all. We kinda forced it to him in the second half and he clanged his way to 20 somehow. Should have had 30 with his miss free throws and missed opportunities earlier in the game. *If Glynn woulda had just an “ok” year last year - he’d be receiving so much more pub this year. He’s really doing some special, special stuff to lead this team. And his defense.... OOOHHH MY ? *I love Cope and Palmer. *Nana’s never seen a shot he didn’t like. *Tom Allen is that dude. 11:52 mark in 1st half - his 1on1 defensive transition - 99.9% of people can’t do that. *As long as we don’t ever have the type of team that solely relies on Brady to be a superstar, he could go down as one of the most serviceable bigs we’ve had IN A LONNNGGGG TIME.

So this is kind of interesting. As I joked in another thread recently, I'm not used to "seeding discussions" when it comes to Nebraska basketball. I was curious if there are certain seeds that are more advantageous with the 1 v. 16, etc. layout of the bracket. I looked at the historical NCAA tournament records by seed, by round, and assigned points to advancing to each round: 1 to the 2nd round, 2 to the Sweet 16, then 4, 8, 16, and 32 for winning the championship. Then I calculated the expected points value for each seed based on historical results. Not surprisingly, the 1 seed has by far the best expected value and there is a general downward trend from there. But, it's not a perfect pattern. For example, the 6 seed actually has a higher expected value than a 5 seed. This is largely because 6 seeds have advanced to the Elite 8 nearly twice as often as 5 seeds, because they don't have to play the 1 seed in the Sweet 16. Another interesting phenomenon is that 10 and 11 seeds have performed better than 9 seeds - again likely related to avoiding the 1 seed matchup, in the 2nd round. Connecting this to Nebraska, we are currently projected as a 4 seed or 5 seed on most sites. But, don't fret if we fall to a 6 seed. History would say we are no worse off if we fall to the 6/11 game.

I think Wisky had interest, but after he was on a visit and attended one of their practice sessions focused on flopping and family-jewel punching, he decided to go in another direction.

Merry Christmas to all! Please be safe and enjoy the blessings and true spirit of this holiday season.

They're currently out of stock..... back-ordered, to be precise.

Are you friends with Standhardinger? ?

I know Amir Harris has been completely away from the team. I asked Glynn Watson about Amir at the Nebrasketball Buddies event last week. We'll see what happens, the team is planning to have Harris back after the Holiday break.

I forget. Which one makes whiskey? That one.

For the record: That's not my current picture. That was taken when I was much younger and slimmer.

The more of our vanquished foes who are projected to make the tourney the better

If Harris didn't play another game this season he would have a case for a medical redshirt. Any speculation he might not play another game is very much speculation though.

This medical redshirt discussion takes me back to the Cookie Belcher days. Danny almost got his ass in trouble for publicly speaking about how many games he could play....

Bruggeman is actually a senior. He and Schafer got playing time here back in 2014

Reminds me of this family guy bit

Coke, “It’s the real thing!”

You didn't hear about the new NET metric where a win for a "football school" only counts as half and a loss is double counted?

Wisconsin has 2 open schollies.

giving "off topic" a whole new level of meaning!

He completely contradicts himself with his entire rankings. If you want to base you rankings on 'what you have done for me lately' - that's cool, but your rankings should at least reflect that. Also, Nebraska is 3-0 in their last 3, won all 3 by 19+ points, two of those being against power confrence schools. We've played like a top 20 school lately. What has Nova done lately to be ranked? 1-2 with a loss to Penn? What has Butler done lately to be ranked? Lost to Indiana at home, beat Presbyterian by 9? I'd have more respect for Katz if he came out and said "Oh sh*t, I forgot Nebraska!"

Good thing we beat 'em by 70 points.

Don't look now, but Mississippi Valley State is #351 in Kenpom and #347 in the NET rankings.

This is better than the 350th ranked team, like Nebraska played last season. The NET rankings for NU wouldn't be irrevocably broken by this matchup like the RPI was last year against the Delaware State's of the world. Sheesh, *that* was awful.

Miles' former player is now the Southwest Minnesota State Head Coach, Brad Bigler.

I am in Section 103 seats 4 and 5, row 5, right where the team enters

Lets not forget Tai made his biggest improvements during his junior amd senior years (i know they dont have the same skill set and arent the same type of players). But Thor has shown some flashes of things i like. Im sure the jump from Iceland ball to B1G ball is pretty significant. I will also root for him til he is no longer a Husker. GBR

Merry Christmas to you all

Merry Christmas everyone! Having a ranked basketball team kind of feels like an early present to me ?.

There was nothing else to do yesterday.

Same to you Cazzie.

Thanks. Lucky Guess! (I guess; even a blind squirrel.... )

Is that a joke lol ??

Santa Claus will be delivering some stocking stuffers for everyone on HHC. But don't be alarmed when you see it. Those NyQuil chasers are only to be used on an as-needed basis, which hopefully won't be necessary in 2019.

I didn’t fact check this but it’s getting a lot of retweets. So I hope it’s all correct ?

It's certainly much better than scheduling a team like Delaware State. That win hurt us more than ever playing them in the first place.

He’s not.

Huskers sit at 10-2. 7 wins by 20+ points, 1 by 19, 1 by 15 and 1 by 2 points. I can't ever remember any Nebraska team beating teams by these types of margins ever. And with that giddiness I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

I played senior year of HS with mono and tonsillitis. Had tonsils removed before prom. Harris will be fine

- the progression nana has made on the defensive end in 12 games is remarkable. He still gets lost from time to time but hes competent now and rebounds well. Tip of the cap to the young man -the flashes that Brady shows in limited minutes are so encouraging. His ability to wall up on the defensive end is going to be key for us in the coming years. Now to just work on those free throws. -it’s probably not permanent but I like nana in the starting lineup and Allen off the bench. Allen’s capable of getting his own shot and creating for others which we don’t have on the bench. Nana is a dead eye shooter that meshes well w the starters IMO. -we are going to miss Palmer for many reasons but one of the biggest will be games like today. Dude just brings it every time we need it

Averaging 18 ppg and 16 rpg thru the 19th of December. Shooting 74 percent from the line and 35 percent from 3 point line. Not for sure on the competition level but those are some nifty stats. Also saw he does not play a lot of AAU ball

Ok, so a 2 seed. I'm good with that.

As long as we're not a 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, or 11 seed then we're in good shape. History can't repeat itself if we're a different seed right?
