HHCC Standings - End of Week 07
HuskerPower #nato73 replied to HuskerFever's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
Remind us all how you score again. I forgot. -
UTSA did check in 2 KenPom spots ahead of Wofford who just won at number 5 North Carolina. Speaking of KenPom, this game really moved our stats around in some wild ways with our offense now outranking our defense (94th and 105th respectively). I am a little concerned about our defense, not because UTSA had some prayers answered tonight, but because we seem to struggle a bit with quick guards (like St. Johns and the guys tonight) and while we have length we don't have effective bulk down low.

HHCC Game #13 - vs. UTSA (Dec. 20, 7:00 PM CST)

Scary game NU 84 UTSA 76 -
Last night we shot 49.2% overall and 36.4% from 3 against the 9th best defense in the country according to KenPom. Our FG Efficiency % is currently 48.6% versus 48.3% in our last NCAA tournament year. We are turning the ball over at a pace that is 2nd least of the Tim Miles era. Our 3 point percentage is currently 36% which is the 1.3 points better than our best year under Miles and 2.7 points better than our tournament team (33.3%) Our 3 point defense is 59th in the country at 31.2%, this is versus 31.5% in our tournament year and a dramatic improvement from our 40.7% and 36.7% from the last two years. Because of our upgraded talent and perhaps the 30 second shot clock we are playing at the fastest tempo since at least 2002 when KenPom records stop. From the game last night 83.3% of our points will likely be back next year. 84.8% of our rebounds will likely be back next year. Nothing I have read of yours indicates you are a fan of Coach Miles or the team for that matter and I am not naive about our weaknesses in the post etc. With our 1st NCAA appearance of the century occurring under his watch, Miles has earned the right to see Glynn Watson through his senior year assuming this year does not completely fall apart. My expectation is post-season of some kind this year and tournament win next year. If that doesn't happen I think he has had plenty of opportunity. Last night hurt because our margin for error is thin because we don't have a great non-conference scalp. So now you you have been engaged, I'll look forward to you sharing with us all the weaknesses and "why not's" that we already know.

Game Day Essentials: Game #11 vs Creighton

Really good write up. Obviously a few things that you wouldn't see in a newspaper, but better information then you will get from reading a paper. Thanks for your work on these. -
KenPom 2017-2018 KenPom Rankings Thread
HuskerPower #nato73 replied to 49r's topic in The Haymarket Hardwood
KenPom shows 11 of our conference games as being within 5 points or less (either wins or losses) 8 those 11 are home games. Protect the vault on these toss up games and then flip 2 others and we likely dance. The trick will be to stay upbeat and confident after the 1st 4 conference games which are all tough. We could go 0-4 and not be dead, but we may feel like it and the negativity might grow. 3 road games, Michigan State, Purdue and Northwestern and Minnesota at home. I am stating the obvious, but to me the Minnesota game if the most important of the next 4. (And believe me I hate Creighton and would love to beat them) -
